installing coldfusion on tomcat 5.5
Hi,
I'm trying to do a project involving coldfusion and j2ee (is this a good idea, btw?), and i've encountered some problems on installing coldfusion.
i've installed apache (tested and works well with a j2ee project), jdk 1.5.0.6 - tested with a few projects and works fine, and a plugin for eclipse (cfeclipse i think)
next i've installed "coldfusion-702-win.exe" (dowloaded from macromedia, developer version - it said there it's supposed to work with j2ee).
the installer made 2 directories: CFusionMX7 and ColdFusionSearchService. in the first one there is the "cfusion.war" file which i copied in the tomcat webapps directory (along with the "CFIDE.war" file).
then i started the apache server and it created (all by itself 😉 ) a couple of directories in the webapps dir: CFIDE and cfusion (which contain more subdirectories and files)
next i created the "setenv.bat" file, as instructed on this website (which contains the paths to coldfusion directories, the paths written there all corect) and placed it in the "bin" dir of tomcat (next to the "tomcat5.exe" file). restarted server etc etc.
(set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\
set CF_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\cfusion\
set CF_WEB_INF=%CF_HOME%/WEB-INF) etc...
my question is: what do i do next, to make it work ? :)
i started tomcat and i tried typing " http://127.0.0.1:8080/cfusion/CFIDE/administrator/ " but i get "The page cannot be displayed" error.
help.
