ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 server configuration installation notes

In the following notes, cf_webroot refers to the directory that contains the ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 CFIDE directory. This directory is typically the active web server's root document directory. For example, for the ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 internal web server, this directory is cf_root/wwwroot. If ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 uses another web server, such as Microsoft IIS or Apache, the directory might have a different path. You specify the location of this directory in one of the installation program steps.

  • ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 writes the following information files to the cf_root directory:
Mystic_Beta_3_InstallLog.log
Log file that provides installation details, including the files that installed
cfmx_updater_installer_debug.txt Detailed debugging information, which can be useful for Adobe Technical Support
  • The installation checks for the existence of the following files before completing the installation. If any of these files is missing, the installer reports an error and does not install the update.

cf_root\lib/cfusion.jar
cf_root\lib/im.jar
cf_root\lib/wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar

ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 multiserver configuration installation notes

These notes use the following pathnames:

The directory name cf_root refers to the directory that contains your ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 WEB-INF directory. This directory is typically jrun_root\servers\server_name\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war, where server_name is normally cfusion.

The directory name cf_webroot refers to the directory that contains the ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 CFIDE directory. This directory is typically the active web server's root document directory. For example, for the default multiserver configuration that uses the ColdFusion MX 7 internal web server, this directory is the same as jrun_root\servers\server_name\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war. If ColdFusion uses another web server, such as Microsoft IIS or Apache, the directory has a different path. You specify the location of this directory in the Install Wizard.

The Updater writes the following information files:

Mystic_Beta_3_InstallLog.log Log file that provides installation details, including the files installed. Saved in the jrun_root directory.
cfmx_updater_installer_debug.txt Detailed debugging information, which can be useful for Macromedia Technical Support. Saved in the jrun_root directory.

The installation program checks for the existence of the following files before installing the update. If any of these files are missing, the Updater reports an error and does not install the update.

cf_root/lib/cfusion.jar
cf_root/lib/im.jar
cf_root/lib/wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar
cf_webroot/CFIDE/adminapi/Application.cfm
cf_webroot/CFIDE/administrator/Application.cfm

The installation program puts copies of the original versions of all files that it updates in the cf_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\updater_backup directory tree. Each file's location in this directory tree reflects the original file's location relative to the cf_root\WEB-INF\cfusion directory, with the exception of the wwwroot subdirectory, which contains files in their location relative to the cf_webroot directory.

Caution: If you reinstall after an installation program has already created backup files, the installation overwrites the original backup files, and you lose the original release versions of the files. If you must reinstall ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2, copy the backup files to a place not in the updater_backup directory before you reinstall.

Installing ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 J2EE configuration

This section explains how to install ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 on a system that is running the ColdFusion MX 7 J2EE configuration. It applies to all operating systems and all application servers.

Note: These instructions refer to the ColdFusion MX 7 J2EE deployment instructions for your application server. For more information, see Deploying ColdFusionMX 7 on J2EE Application Servers. The "Supported J2EE application servers" section includes links to the appropriate installation instructions for supported J2EE servers. The "Unsupported application servers for the archive install" section includes links to installation instructions for additional servers.

To install the ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 on ColdFusion MX 7 J2EE configurations, you perform the following tasks:

  1. Save your ColdFusionMX 7 application and configuration files.
  2. Undeploy your ColdFusion MX 7 application from your J2EE server.
  3. Generate a ColdFusion MX 7.01 EAR or WAR file.
  4. Update the ColdFusion MX 7.01 EAR or WAR file
  5. Redeploy the new ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 EAR or WAR file on your J2EE server.
  6. Restore your ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 configuration using the files you saved in task 1.

The following sections provide detailed descriptions of each of these tasks.

Task 1: Save your ColdFusion MX 7.01 application and configuration files

To save your ColdFusion MX 7.01 information, create a ColdFusion Archive (CAR file) by performing the following steps:

  1. Save your ColdFusion license number.
  2. Open the ColdFusion MX Administrator and select Packaging and Deployment > ColdFusion Archives.
  3. Create an archive and run the Archive Wizard.

Alternatively, you can back up files manually:

  • If your web root is under the cf_root directory, back up the files or directories that you have put in your web root. Do not back up the cfdocs, CFIDE, META-INF, or WEB-INF directory.
  • If you added custom tags, CFX files, CFC files, applets, or any other custom files in directories under the cf_root directory, save copies of these files. Review the ColdFusion MX Administrator Mappings, Java Applets, CFX Tags, and Custom Tag Paths pages to check for files that must be backed up. For example, the following directories might contain files that require backing up:

    cfusion\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\jsp
    cfusion\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\cfx
    cfusion\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\CustomTags

  • Back up the following ColdFusion MX 7 configuration files in the cf_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\ directory:

    All neo-*.xml files
    license.properties

  • Back up anything that you added to the cf_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\gateway\ directory.

Task 2: Undeploy your ColdFusion MX 7.01 application

Undeploy your ColdFusionMX 7 application by using your J2EE server's application or server undeployment procedure.

  1. As appropriate for your application server, either stop the ColdFusion application and RDS application (if it is running), or stop the application server.
  2. Undeploy your ColdFusion MX 7 J2EE enterprise application, or the ColdFusion MX 7 web application and the RDS application (if it is installed) from your application server, by using the standard undeployment procedure for your J2EE server. For server-specific ColdFusion MX 7 deployment instructions, see the links on the lower part of the page of Deploying ColdFusion MX 7 on J2EE Application Servers.

Task 3: Generate a ColdFusion MX 7.01 EAR or WAR file

If you do not have a cfusion.war or cfusion.ear file from your initial ColdFusion MX 7.01 installation, you must use the ColdFusion MX 7.01 installation program to create one.

To create a ColdFusion MX 7.01 cfusion.ear or cfusion.war:

  1. Start the ColdFusion MX 7.0.1 full installation and follow the instructions in the wizard.
  2. On the Configure Installation page, select the J2EE Configuration (EAR/WAR file) option and select either EAR or WAR file.
  3. If you are generating an EAR file, the wizard displays a Choose Context Root page. On this page, specify the context root that you used for your initial ColdFusion MX 7 installation.
  4. On the summary page, click the Install button.
    The installer creates an EAR or WAR file that contains ColdFusionMX 7.01.

Task 4: Update a ColdFusion MX 7.01 EAR or WAR file

Use the following steps to update your cfusion.ear file or cfusion.war file. You do not have to update the rds.war file.

  1. Start the ColdFusion MX 7 Updater 2 installation program and follow the instructions in the wizard.
  2. On the Configure Installation page, select the J2EE configuration (EAR/WAR file) option and select either EAR or WAR file..
  3. On the summary page, click the Install button. The installer saves a copy of the original EAR or WAR file with an _original suffix added to the filename. It then updates the EAR or WAR file. It writes a Mystic_Beta_3_InstallLog.log file with information about the installation including any error messages.

Task 5: Redeploy an updated ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 application

Follow the normal deployment procedure for your J2EE server. Server-specific instructions for deploying ColdFusion MX 7 are available in Deploying ColdFusion MX 7 on J2EE Application Servers.

Note: The server-specific instructions assume that you are deploying ColdFusion MX 7 for the first time. Undeploying the ColdFusion application does not remove JVM settings, so you do not have to do the JVM configuration steps described in these instructions.

Task 6: Restore your configuration

Use the following procedure to restore your ColdFusion MX 7 configuration after you deploy the updated EAR or WAR file.

  • If you created a CAR file:
    1. Open the ColdFusion MX Administrator and click System Information.
    2. Enter your ColdFusion MX 7 serial number and click Submit Changes.
    3. Select Packaging and Deployment > ColdFusion Archives.
    4. Under Deploy an Existing Archive, specify the location of the CAR file that you saved in task 1, and click Deploy.

  • If you backed up files manually:
    1. Ensure that your ColdFusion MX 7 web application is not running. Depending on your J2EE server, stop either the J2EE server or the ColdFusion web application.
    2. Copy the files that you saved in task 1 back to their original locations.
    3. Restart your J2EE server or ColdFusion application.
