About the ColdFusion MX 7 installation

ColdFusion MX 7 provides a powerful and flexible installation and upgrade process. The

ColdFusion MX 7 installation process includes the following phases:

Plan the installation. You determine your installation, configuration, and upgrade options.

Run the installer. You run the ColdFusion MX 7 installer.

(J2EE configuration only) Deploy ColdFusion MX 7. You deploy and configure

ColdFusion MX 7 on your J2EE application server.

The ColdFusion MX 7 installation process supports the following scenarios:

New installation Install ColdFusion MX 7 on a computer with no previous ColdFusion

installation.

Upgrade installation You can upgrade from ColdFusion 4.5, ColdFusion 5, ColdFusion MX,

and ColdFusion MX 6.1. When upgrading from ColdFusion 4.5, or 5, the installer migrates

previous settings to ColdFusion MX 7. When upgrading from ColdFusion MX or ColdFusion

MX 6.1, the installer preserves the existing settings and installs in a new directory, automatically

assigning ports that do not conflict with the existing installation.

8 Chapter 1: Preparing to Install ColdFusion MX 7

You can install ColdFusion MX 7 in any of the following configurations:

Server configuration Lets you install one instance of ColdFusion MX 7 with an embedded

J2EE server. This configuration most closely resembles the ColdFusion MX base release and other

releases prior to ColdFusion MX, such as ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion 4.5. This was formerly

known as the stand-alone configuration. For information on installing the server configuration,

see Chapter 2, “Installing the Server Configuration,” on page 15.

Multiserver configuration (Enterprise Edition only) Installs JRun and automatically deploys

ColdFusion MX 7 in a separate JRun server instance. This configuration supports server instance

creation and ColdFusion deployment in the ColdFusion MX Administrator and lets you manage

ColdFusion MX 7 deployments on multiple JRun servers. For information on installing the

multiserver configuration, see Chapter 3, “Installing the Multiserver Configuration,” on page 25.

J2EE configuration (Enterprise Edition only) Lets you deploy ColdFusion MX 7 as a Java

application running on a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application server, either using the

bundled license of JRun or using a third-party J2EE server, such as IBM WebSphere or BEA

WebLogic. When you use the J2EE configuration, you can deploy ColdFusion MX 7 multiple

times on a single computer. For information on installing the J2EE configuration, see Chapter 4,

“Installing the J2EE Configuration,” on page 31.

The remainder of this chapter describes product editions and system requirements. After you

understand the editions and ensure that your environment meets the system requirements,

continue with the instructions in Chapter 2, “Installing the Server Configuration,” on page 15

Chapter 3, “Installing the Multiserver Configuration,” on page 25, or Chapter 4, “Installing the

J2EE Configuration,” on page 31, as appropriate.
