ColdFusion is distributed as a Solaris package file. You can use a number of Solaris package utilities, such as pkgadd
, pkgrm
, and pkginfo
to manage the ColdFusion package file, as well as any other package files on your system.
Before installing ColdFusion please note the following considerations:
pkgadd
utility.
/opt
directory. If you want to install ColdFusion into a different directory, you must create that directory before running the pkgadd
utility.
pkgadd
utility prompts you for this information.
/cdrom/cdrom0
.
pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0
Solaris returns the names of the package files on the specified volume. Select the ColdFusion package file.
During the installation, ColdFusion services are started and a shell script is invoked to restart your Web server. If you are using Netscape, the installation will try and run the stop and start scripts to restart your web server.
ColdFusion can also be started using the ColdFusion start-up script, which is found in the /etc/inet.d
directory.
Netscape does not certify Enterprise Server 3.0 or FastTrack Server 3.01 to work on Solaris 2.6. These servers are certified by Netscape to work on Solaris 2.5 or 2.5.1.
ColdFusion requires Solaris 2.5.1 or higher.
Netscape Enterprise 3.5.1 has been certified for Solaris 2.6. Several NSAPI functions, which didn't work with ColdFusion in earlier releases of Netscape Enterprise server, have been fixed in Enterprise 3.5.1.
Allaire has successfully tested Enterprise/FastTrack 2.01 and Enterprise 3.5.1 on Solaris 2.6 with ColdFusion.
When upgrading from ColdFusion 3.1 you may need to edit the package installation defaults file:
/var/sadm/install/admin/default
This file controls the behavior of the Solaris packaging commands. The value of the instance setting may need to be changed from quit
or unique
to overwrite
.
Setting the value of the instance to overwrite
allows the existing version of ColdFusion to be overwritten by the new version. See the admin(4) manual page for further information.
Note that the uninstall script removes your odbc.ini
file. You may want to preserve your odbc.ini
file by saving it to a new location. In addition, uninstalling ColdFusion removes all Verity collections, stored by default in <installdir>/coldfusion/verity
, from your system.
Use the pkgrm
utility to remove ColdFusion from your system as follows:
pkgrm cfusion
