How to install ColdFusion 801 lin.bin
I don't know what is going on, but I believe Adobe is going
back in time.
I have some experience with Linux and a lot of experience
with ColdFusion, but trying to install ColdFusion on my linux
mashine is like going back to dos. What is going on?
Why do I have to change permissions using chmod?
I thought we are over this by now and Linux has learned
something from Windows and Apple in terms of usability.
Not everybody wants to be a nerd and delph into the deep end
of linux file handling just to install a program.
Why is it not available as an rpm?
The documentation on the abobe site is a joke and very hard
to find.
I understand security, but surely a simple but effective
admin password will do without having to change permissions. I can
do everything else with my admin password.
As I am not interested to become a linux specialist, but to
get on with my job, abobe and linux have failed me.
Maybe I should give Windows and asp or .net another go.
Trying to install ColdFusion on Linux is like buying a car
without doors or keys. What is the point?
This should help:

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

How to Install 9i real application clusters on a PC!
How to install and deploy Oracle Real Application Clusters on a single Linux
server with a minimal configuration (less than $1000 worth of harware):
First of all to install Oracle cluster database you DON'T HAVE to have a cluster, but a
single PC may do as well (of course thi kind of installation will not be of
much use for a production DB). A minimal server that I HAVE TESTED is: Celeron 750 MhZ,
512 Mb of RAM, 2 IDE HD, Linux Suse 7.2
This document contains the steps needed to deploy a working Oracle 9i Database with a
minimal comment. For a complete discussion refer to Oracle documentation, namely:
Oracle 9i administrator's reference part number A90347-02
Oracle 9i Linux release notes part number A90356-01
Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters Administration part numebr A89869-01
1) set up the partitions to user for Oracle software and the ones to use as raw devices
for the cluster DB. Soppose you want to you use an HD mounted as the 3rd IDE device
(/dev/hdc) for the cluster DB. Then you have to partition it with fdisk with a large
extended partition (say hdc1). Create a large number of logical partitions inside hdc1
(say hdc5 till hdc20) of about 300 Mb in size (all of the same size for simplicity).
2) Real application clusters wants to store the DB strutures into raw devices or a
cluster filesystem. Create the raw devices using the following command (as superuser):
raw /dev/raw1 /dev/hdc5
raw /dev/raw2 /dev/hdc6 ... etc till /dev/hdc20
you will need to repeat these steps after every boot
3) Set up the Oracle user (already done with the Suse distribution), environment variables
and mount point.
Install Oracle software enterprise edition
4) Complete the installation with a custom install of the real application cluster option.
This will add a directory called oracm under your oracle home, which contains the
cluster manager software
5) edit $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/admin/nmcfg.ora, it contains 3 lines for the set-up of the
cluster manager sofware:
DefinedNodes=localhost
CmDiskFiles=/dev/raw2
CmHostName=localhost
6) edit /var/opt/oracle/srvConfig.loc. It contains 1 line with the location of a raw device
used to sync the cluster nodes:
srvconfig_loc=/dev/raw1
7) start the cluster manager software (as superuser):
$ORACLE_HOME/oracm/bin/ocmstart.sh
8) as the oracle user start the global cache service:
gsd
9) you can now create a cluster db. to use the configuration assistant you need to set
an extra environment variable:
export THREADS_FLAG=native
10) start the configuration assistant: dbca
expect some errors in the script the dbca generates, best is to review them before
execution
11) after the db creation you'll be able to start two instances on the same DB,
which means you will have a cluster DB!
12) the environment variable ORACLE_SID will determine the instance to which you can
connect by means of a special syntax: SID.parameter=value
this is used for example for paramters like instance_number, thread, etc
also the parameter cluster_database must be set to true
All these problems are normaly handled by the dbca.
Have fun,
Luca Canali
OCP-DBARedHat 7.1 with the some configuration I run a production 9.0.1
database: Compaq Proliant Hardware with a RA4100 storage.
The script created from the dbca seems fine, but the dbca give
me the
some error I get from:
srvconfig -init
[...]stop all daemons and oracle programs on both machines, then
start only $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/bin/ocmstart.sh,
then run the line
srvconfig -init
you can check it by running
srvconfig -version
it should output something like "9.0.0.0.0"
before running dbca, make sure ocmstart.sh and gsd are
running on both machines ("lsnodes -v" should putput sbshadow1
and dbshadow2).
BTW - I cant run clusca... Can somenome give a sample nmcfg.ora,
just to check my parameters? for dbshadow1:
DefinedNodes=dbshadow1 dbshadow2
CmDiskFiles=/dev/raw/raw2
CmHostName=dbshadow1
for dbshadow2:
DefinedNodes=dbshadow1 dbshadow2
CmDiskFiles=/dev/raw/raw2
CmHostName=dbshadow2

How to Install 11.5.10 on Win XP
Since most of the posting on this forum is about Oracle Apps installation problems , I decided to share with you how I installed 11.5.10 on XP â first time, with no errors!
Itâs frustrating to begin with, but the trick is to do it step by step making sure you get one step right before going on to the next . I found that if you miss one step or get it wrong the whole thing goes wrong â more important â do not proceed with the installation if you get any error on the rapid wiz validation â make sure you deal with any errors and you get all âgreen checks/ticksâ . Iâd say it you do this and if you remember to do point 8 below â you should get a âperfectâ install - first time, no disk formatting etc.
The whole thing took about 6 hours â about 2 for the prep and about 4 for the actual install to run.
Ok, here goes â first my environment. I actually installed it on my âlow specâ laptop â Win XP, 80 GB, Intel Celeron CPU 2.80 GHz, 1 GB RAM , so it should work on anything with a higher spec.
Prep: Stage the CDs. One change with 11.5.10 worth mentioning is that Oracle in their wisdom has made the CD staging easier. The CD are now DVDs and if you download Active perl from perl.com , you should find that most of the staging are done for you â all you need to do is pop in the cds when it asks for it.
Here are the steps â
1. I installed MKS toolkit . Make sure your installed directory is C:\MKS
2. I installed VC++ 6 from Microsoft Visual Studio CD to c:\MVS . Make sure the other defaults to C:\VC98 â this is important! After installing, I then copied the link.exe file from the C:\VC98\Bin folder to c:\winnt\system32 folder .
3. I downloaded make-3.79.1. Extracted it to C:\. You should now have a c:\ make-3.79.1 folder. Look in this folder for the build_w32.bat file â¦double click on it and it should run for about a minute. You might have to do this twice for it to work .( At one point it was looking for
link.exe â see point 2 above , you might want to restart your machine).
If it runs successfully , look in the WinRel folder for gnumake.exe and copy it to c:\MKS\mksnt folder
4. I downloaded jdk1.3.1_09 from http://java.sun.com
Installed it to c:\jdk13 . Make sure there is no "." in the directory name . I also Set Classpath = .; in the environment variable and also added the c:\jdk13\bin to the PATH variable.
5. I made an entry 127.0.0.1 lacalhost.streed.com. Just opened c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file , and copied the â127.0.0.1 localhost â line , pasted below it and added the. streed.com to the second line like this
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.streed.com
6. Go to Network - > Local Area Connection -> right click Properties -> click TCP/IP properties -> advanced -> click DNS tab -> enter DNS suffix for this connection as your domain (streed.com)
7. I ran rapidwiz , used all the settings generated above, make sure you change the c:\mksnt to c:\mks\mksnt .Also , it you install on a 80gb laptop like I did , you might have to go for Prod and not Vis because of file space .
8. VERY IMPORTANT! DONâT FORGET TO DO THIS!!! - During Step 4 of 5 , go to the jserv.properties file and change the "wrapper.bin" to whatever it is to wrapper.bin =c:\jdk13\jre\bin\java.exe !!!!
This is what I did to get a âperfectâ install â no errors during or after the installation . If Iâve missed anything here take a look at other posts on this forum for 11.5.9 . Itâs exactly the same for 11.5.10 .
Hope this helps!
Steve ReedLooks like you guys are talking about installation of PROD environment. Did anyone tried Apps 11i10 with VIS ?
I am running into problem here. In step 4 of 5, the system hangs at "Completed unzip 1229 of 1236". On investigaqtion, I found that the unzipping of file "_pages40.zip" is causing problem. When I tried to manually unzip it, I found that many of the files within this zip is still password protected and hence the file is unable to unzip and system just hangs there.
Does any of you know the passwords here. Any help in this regard will be really appreciated.
And hey, the jsdk 1.4 is now coming along with the Apps installation files and you do not have to install it seperately for 11i10 ver. The apps intallation do that itself.
