Question

iSeries question

I'm putting together a proposal at work showing why we need to move to ColdFusion. We currently have an iSeries server running Apache as our Webserver. We don't want to change that but we do want to have ColdFusion running on a Windows 2003 Server.

My question is; what are the steps required to have the iSeries Apache server direct ColdFusion requests to the Windows 2003 Server? Again, we want to keep the Web server on the iSeries and just direct ColdFusion to the W2K3 box.

Thank you for any help and/or direction.

Bob

    I found a document that describes Distributed configuration for ColdFusion version 5. Is there something like this for the current version?

    Also, in that documentation it says: "On the Web server side, you must notify the ColdFusion Web server plug-in that you want it to talk to a ColdFusion engine on another machine. You do this simply by making appropriate entries in an INI file."

    How would one go about this in Apache on an iSeries?

    Thanks again.

    This pretty much describes it http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/administration/cfmx_in_distributed_mode. Note it is written for CFMX6 but should still apply.

    One issue though is you will need to compile the Apache connector on your iSeries machine. The connector source code is included with CFMX. ApacheBuildInstructions.txt is in cfusionmx7\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar. Read it. ISeries is an unsupported platform, so you may find experience with building the connector lacking in techsupport. However, google the web and you will find instructions for building it on linux and unix generally.

    HTH.

    Thank you Ken for the link to the newer article.

    In that article it has the command line:

    C:\Progra~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_03\bin\java -jar c:\temp\wsconfig.jar -ws IIS -site "0" -map .cfm,.cfc,.cfml,.jsp -v -host 10.1.100.102

    Would I substitute -ws Apache for -ws IIS if Apache was on the W2K3 server?

    Again, thank you!
