Chapter 1: Preparing to Install ColdFusion MX 7
To enable Flash Remoting to access web services through ColdFusion MX 7:
1.
Open the cf_root/WEB-INF/gateway-config.xml file in a text editor.
2.
Locate the following line.
<!--<adapter>coldfusion.flash.adapter.CFWSAdapter</adapter>-->
3.
Remove the comments, so that the line appears as follows.
<adapter>coldfusion.flash.adapter.CFWSAdapter</adapter>
4.
Save the file.
5.
Restart ColdFusion MX 7.
For more information on Flash Remoting, see ColdFusion MX Developer’s Guide.

ColdFusion MX 7 is built in Java and when installing the server configuration, the
ColdFusion MX 7 installer automatically installs the JRE that is appropriate for your platform.
When installing the J2EE configuration, ColdFusion MX 7 uses the same JRE as your J2EE
application server.

In an optimal production environment, each ColdFusion MX 7 application is hosted on a
dedicated server; database, mail, and other servers are not on the same computer.

Installation considerations for Windows
The following installation considerations are for Windows systems only:
•
Do not configure the server running ColdFusion MX 7 as a Primary Domain Controller
(PDC) or Backup Domain Controller (BDC). Macromedia follows the Microsoft network
model, in which the first level is the PDC or BDC. These systems only manage the network or
domain and are not designed to run application servers. ColdFusion MX 7 should reside on
the second level of Microsoft Windows 2000 stand-alone systems. Stand-alone servers can
participate in a network or domain.

Windows 2000 Professional handles only ten TCP/IP connections concurrently. Therefore,
Macromedia does not recommend using this operating system in a production environment;
use Windows 2000 Server instead.

Installation considerations for UNIX
The following are installation considerations for UNIX systems only:
•
For troubleshooting purposes, the installer creates the following log file during an installation
or upgrade on UNIX: cf_root/Macromedia_ColdFusion_MX7_install.log. If you contact
Macromedia Technical Support for installation support, you must send them this file.

•
If you are deploying the J2EE configuration on a platform other than Linux or Solaris, use the
coldfusion-70-other.jar installer. This Java-only installer does not include features that require
platform-specific binary files, such as Verity and C++ CFX support.
