Configuring Apache web server on UNIX

This section describes how to configure the Apache web server for ColdFusion MX on UNIX, and how to verify your configuration.

Note: When running the Web Server Configuration Tool on the JRun J2EE configuration, wsconfig.jar is located in jrun_root/lib. You can also use the scripts in cf_root/bin/connectors, modifying them, as appropriate for your environment.

To configure the Apache web server for ColdFusion MX on UNIX:

1. Enter the following command on a single line:

   java_root/bin/java -jar cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig.jar -ws Apache 
   
   -dir <apache config directory> -map .cfm,.cfc,.cfml -coldfusion -v
   

   Note: You must enter the previous command as a single (long) line.

   The following is a sample command:

   /opt/coldfusionmx/jre/bin/java -jar 
   /opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig.jar -ws Apache
   
   -dir /etc/httpd/conf -map .cfm,.cfc,.cfml,.jsp,.jws -coldfusion -v
   

   Note: For unique configurations (such as the pre-configured Apache web servers from Redhat or Sun), add the -bin and -script parameters, as described in Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.

2. 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 Apache configuration:

1. Verify that one of the following files was created:
   cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig/number/mod_jrun.so (Apache 1.3.x)
   or
   cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig/number/mod_jrun20.so (Apache 2.x)
2. Open the Apache configuration file, httpd.conf, in your Apache conf directory. By default it is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

   Verify that the following code is added to this file:

   # JRun Settings
   LoadModule jrun_module 
   "/opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun.so"
   <IfModule mod_jrun.c>
     JRunConfig Verbose false
     JRunConfig Apialloc false
     JRunConfig Ssl false
     JRunConfig Serverstore "/opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/
   
   jrunserver.store"
     JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51000
     #JRunConfig Errorurl <URL for errors>
     JRunConfig jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc
   </IfModule>
