Question

cf 2023 install on windows server, web server choose

Hi,

I'm installing cf 2023 standard edition on a windows server.

I have installed apache web server.

At this link:

https://helpx.adobe.com/it/coldfusion/installing/installing-the-server-configuration.html

I found the installation steps.

 

How do I start this builder? because I downloaded the GUI version but when choosing the webserver it only shows me the build-in 

 

I hope I was clear

Many thanks

Marco

    Marco, the doc you point to is for installing cf. As for configuring cf to connect to a web server, that has indeed required separate steps since cf2016 (whereas it used to be offered WITHIN the install of CF).

     

    And that process (and using the  wsconfig tool) is discussed in a separate document. While the doc has A LOT tonsay, I'm providing here a link to a section near the bottom which should be a good starting point for you, the section "Web server configuration", at:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/configuring-administering/web-server-management.html#Webserverconfiguration

     

    Finally, maybe this tool is the "builder" you refer to, but do beware, there is Adobe ColdFusion Builder, which is an IDE or editor. You should not refer to "builder" with regard to web server configuration, as some readers will be misled or may mislead you in their replies. 🙂

     

    Let us know if this gets you going.

    Thanks  Charlie. 

    in fact the last time I installed cf on a server was the 2016 version. 🙂

     

    I have now configured (correctly I think) the connector with Apache 2.4.

    However, I have another problem: if I create an index.cfm page it is displayed as an html page and therefore a simple instruction is not executed (I assigned a value to a variable and made a cfoutput). I see the variable name #test#

    What could it depend on?

    Further info: apache resides on the same server as cf.
