ColdFusion MX 7 provides a powerful and flexible installation and upgrade process. The ColdFusion MX 7 installation process includes the following phases:
The ColdFusion MX 7 installation process supports the following scenarios:
New installation Install ColdFusion MX 7 on a computer with no previous ColdFusion installation.
Upgrade installation You can upgrade from ColdFusion 4.5, ColdFusion 5, ColdFusion MX, and ColdFusion MX 6.1. When upgrading from ColdFusion 4.5, or 5, the installer migrates previous settings to ColdFusion MX 7. When upgrading from ColdFusion MX or ColdFusion MX 6.1, the installer preserves the existing settings and installs in a new directory, automatically assigning ports that do not conflict with the existing installation.
You can install ColdFusion MX 7 in any of the following configurations:
Server configuration Lets you install one instance of ColdFusion MX 7 with an embedded J2EE server. This configuration most closely resembles the ColdFusion MX base release and other releases prior to ColdFusion MX, such as ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion 4.5. This was formerly known as the stand-alone configuration. For information on installing the server configuration, see Installing the Server Configuration.
Multiserver configuration (Enterprise Edition only) Installs JRun and automatically deploys ColdFusion MX 7 in a separate JRun server instance. This configuration supports server instance creation and ColdFusion deployment in the ColdFusion MX Administrator and lets you manage ColdFusion MX 7 deployments on multiple JRun servers. For information on installing the multiserver configuration, see Installing the Multiserver Configuration.
J2EE configuration (Enterprise Edition only) Lets you deploy ColdFusion MX 7 as a Java application running on a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application server, either using the bundled license of JRun or using a third-party J2EE server, such as IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic. When you use the J2EE configuration, you can deploy ColdFusion MX 7 multiple times on a single computer. For information on installing the J2EE configuration, see Installing the J2EE Configuration.
The remainder of this chapter describes product editions and system requirements. After you understand the editions and ensure that your environment meets the system requirements, continue with the instructions in Installing the Server Configuration Installing the Multiserver Configuration, or Installing the J2EE Configuration, as appropriate.
