Deploying ColdFusion MX

After you create the new server instance, you must deploy the ColdFusion MX application. When using JRun, you must deploy an expanded directory structure. If you already have ColdFusion MX deployed on a JRun server, you can copy the ColdFusion application to the new JRun server and it will deploy automatically. Depending on your requirements, you might have to modify server settings, such as the data sources defined to each server instance.

For more information on deploying ColdFusion MX, see Installing and Using ColdFusion MX.

Comments are no longer accepted for ColdFusion MX 6.1. ColdFusion 8 is the current version.

This document is all good and well, but how about some directions on _HOW_ to deploy Cold Fusion to multipule instances?

Not all of us (especially those looking at this document) are JRun experts.

This page should have a link to the JRun deployment instructions. The Installing and Using ColdFusion MX book has detailed CF deployment instructions for JRun at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/instal16.htm, although you might want to start at the beginning of the chapter: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/installj.htm.

First of all you do not need to link to the page you suggested. This documentation is not necessary if you choose the correct install in the first place. Or am I mistaken in saying that CFMX installs the Jrun if you choose it and it is not neccessary to "expand" the files?

jrunrandy said on Dec 1, 2003 at 6:25 AM :

I think ke4pym was referring to the situation in which JRun is already installed, so the "automatic expanded EAR with JRun" install is unavailable.

Ok My real question is how do you deploy different data sources to each instance of CF on the JRun for multiple instances config?

Unless I set every data source in each instance I get errors and they will not connect?

Is there documentation on this as I have search extensively, either not extensively enough or it is not where I am looking. I would appreciate any help you could provide.

The server is running but not the way I want the instances set up as far as data sources being independent.
