Configuring Netscape Enterprise or iPlanet web server in Windows

This section describes how to configure Netscape Enterprise web server 3.6x or iPlanet web server (4.x or 6.x) for ColdFusion MX in Windows, and how to verify your configuration. You configure Netscape or iPlanet using the Web Server Configuration Tool in either GUI or command-line mode. This discussion describes how to use GUI mode. To use the command line, open the batch files located in cf_root\bin\connectors. For more information, see the Web Server Management chapter of Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.

To configure Netscape or iPlanet for ColdFusion MX in Windows:

1. Start the Web Server Configuration Tool by selecting Start > Programs > Macromedia ColdFusion MX > Web Server Configuration Tool from the Start menu.
2. Click Add.
3. In the Server drop-down list box, select the host name and the server or cluster name to configure. For the ColdFusion MX server configuration, this is always default. Clustering support is only available on the JRun J2EE configuration.

   Note: The server or cluster does not have to reside on the web server computer.

4. In the Web Server Properties area, select Netscape Enterprise Server/iPlanet and specify the path to the directory that contains the obj.conf file.
5. Select Configure web server for ColdFusion MX applications.

   Caution: Omitting the previous step causes your web server to serve ColdFusion MX source code.

6. Click OK.
7. Copy the CFIDE and cfdocs directories from cf_root\wwwroot to your web server root directory. In addition, copy your application's CFM pages from cf_root\wwwroot to your web server root directory.

To verify your Netscape or iPlanet configuration:

1. Verify that the following file was created: cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\number\jrun_nsapi35.dll (server configuration) or jrun_root/lib/wsconfig/number/jrun_nsapi35.dll (JRun J2EE configuration).
2. Open the Netscape configuration file, obj.conf, in the web server directory (for example, in C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config\obj.conf).
3. Verify that the following line was added to the file:

   NameTrans fn="jrunfilter"
   

4. Verify that #JRun prefixes the following NameTrans line in the file:

   #JRun NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/servlet" 
   
   dir="$docroot/servlet" name="ServletByExt"
   

5. Verify that the following object element is at the end of the file:

   <Object name="jrun">
   PathCheck fn="jrunfilter"
   Service fn="jrunservice"
   </Object>
