app servers

The mapping should point to “C:\Cfusion\BIN\ISCF.DLL”.

That’s the name of CF5’s IIS adapter. We’re next going to install

CFMX and eventually cause it to overwrite this IIS configura-

tion for CF 5, so you should write down the mapping informa-

tion as you’ll need it later.

You’ll also want to make backup copies of the ColdFusion 5

Administrator (cfide) and documentation (cfdocs) directories

that were installed by default in the IIS webroot

(\inetpub\wwwroot), as they will also be overwritten in a later

step. A simple way to do this is by renaming them to cfide5

and cfdocs5. We’ll show you how to make them accessible

again later.

Installing/Configuring ColdFusion MX

Our next step will be to install/configure ColdFusion MX. If

you already have it installed and configured to use its built-in

Web server, you can skip the next two paragraphs. If you are

already configured to use IIS, skip to the next subsection, “you

are checking the IIS Configuration for CFMX”.

You can download the latest version of ColdFusion MX

from the Macromedia Web site, at www

.macromedia.com/

software/coldfusion/trial. ColdFusion MX will install into the

CFusionMX directory by default. Just be sure not to install into

the same directory as your ColdFusion 5 installation.

In fact, the installer will detect that ColdFusion 5 is

already installed. Tell it you want it to coexist and install

ColdFusion MX using its built-in Web server. You could tell it

during the install to implement its IIS connection, but we

want the article to help those who may have already installed

CFMX with its built-in Web server, who will want to follow

the next steps.

Once the installation is done, you can confirm that the

installation was successful by running the CFMX

Administrator. By default, CFMX will set up its built-in Web

server at port 8500, so the URL would be http://localhost:

8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm.

Next, or if you had previously installed CFMX using its

built-in Web server, we will want to manually set up CFMX to

work via IIS. Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, look in

the C:\CfusionMX\runtime\lib directory and double click on

wsconfig.jar. (In CFMX 6.1, there is also a new menu option,

Start-->Programs-->Macromedia-->Macromedia ColdFusion

MX-->Web Server Configuration Tool.) The screen shown in

Figure 2 will come up.

Click the add button and you’ll see the screen shown in

Figure 3.

If you find that you can’t launch the JAR file (such as if it

tries to open it like a ZIP file), or if it doesn’t work for any other

reason, look at the CFMX documentation, I

nstalling

oldFusion MX

and its section, “Configuring Web Servers” in

Chapter 2.

Assuming things are working for you as shown in the fig-

ures, select your IIS Web site, click the Configure Web Server

for ColdFusion MX Applications button and then click OK. You

will be asked to restart the Web server.

Checking the IIS Configuration for CFMX

The ColdFusion MX mappings are now created on IIS. As

was described in the CF5 step, open up your Internet Services

Manager and bring up properties on the Default Web Site (or

the Master Properties, if necessary). Click on Home Directory

and Configuration. You should see a bunch of mappings,

including cfm and cfc, listed on the app mappings tab, similar

to the one shown in Figure 4.

You’ll also see jsp, jws, and cfml mappings listed. The map-

pings probably point to “C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\

wsconfig\1\jrun.dll”. Write down this value to use in a later

step. Take note, as well, that CFMX’s installation of the IIS

adapter actually builds the file named in that mapping. It’s not

enough to skip this step and just use the aforementioned DLL

name in the later step.

You can run the CF Admin or our test code from above to

verify that IIS is now sending pages to ColdFusion MX. In

either case, you’d no longer want to use the port 8500 on the

URL to test against CFMX. Instead, use the same URL you

used above to test CF5. The Product Name is still ColdFusion

Server, the Product Level should still be Enterprise or
