Installing Stand-alone Addon Service

Does the Addon service installer (CF11 version) work as a way to re-install the service in an existing CF11 install?  My Solr service is buggy and I want to reinstall it without reinstalling the whole CF11.  Can I just install to the same directory as the existing instance (/ColdFusion11/cfusion/jetty/)?

    Hi Mike,

    Yes, you can re-install the add-on services without reinstalling the ColdFusion server. Please follow the below steps:

            1.  Please take a backup of entire ColdFusion folder.

            2. Uninstall the ColdFusion Add-on services.

            3. Please ensure that there are no residual files under “jetty” folder after uninstalling Add-on services (Path:        

                  \ColdFusion11\cfusion\jetty).

            4. Run the Add-on Services Installer as administrator and point the default installation directory to:

                 \ColdFusion11\cfusion\jetty.

    Thanks,

    Vikram
