■
contextroot The context root for the ColdFusion MX web application. For more
information, see “Context root” on page 33 .
■
filename The directory path and file to display. The path is relative to the cfusion-war
directory.
For example, to display a CFM file located at c:\JRun4\servers\default\cfusion-ear\cfusion-
war\eisapp\index.cfm using the built-in JRun web server and a context root of cfmx, you
specify the URL as http://127.0.0.1:8100/cfmx/eisapp/index.cfm.
Installing an EAR file or WAR files on UNIX
This section explains how to install the ColdFusion MX 6.1 J2EE configuration on UNIX. If you
are updating an existing deployment of ColdFusion MX for J2EE, see
“Updating from
ColdFusion MX for J2EE” on page 42 before continuing.
By default, the ColdFusion MX 6.1 J2EE install places files into the /opt/cfmx directory. To
install it into a different directory, you must create that directory before running the installation.
To install ColdFusion MX 6.1 on UNIX (J2EE configuration):
1
Read the online version of the Release Notes for any late-breaking information or updates. For
more information, see www.macromedia.com/go/proddoc_releasenotes.
2
Make sure that your operating system meets the system requirements described in “System
requirements for UNIX” on page 13 .
3
Review the “Installation considerations for UNIX” on page 18 .
4
Determine and record environment information, as described in “Preparing to install using the
J2EE configuration” on page 34 .
5
Log in as root.
6
Copy the installation file that is appropriate for your platform and locale from the CD or
Macromedia website, and save it to a directory on your local disk.
The installation files for supported server configuration platforms are as follows:
■
coldfusion-61-lin.bin
■
coldfusion-61-sol.bin
■
coldfusion-61-other.jar
7
Using the
cd
command, go to the directory with the installation file.
8
Start the installation with the following command:
./<
filename
>
The installation program starts.
To use coldfusion-61-other.jar to install on a UNIX platform other than Solaris or Linux, enter
the following command (for more information, see
“Installation considerations for UNIX”
on page 18 ):
java_home
/bin/java -jar coldfusion-61-other.jar
Note: To run the UNIX installer in GUI mode, type ./
<filename>
-i gui

Follow the prompts, and let the installation program run to completion.
Caution: For security reasons, it is crucial that you do not use
root
for the runtime user.
After the Pre-Installation Summary, the files are copied to your computer.
