CFMX intallation with Distributed mode

[cesarmejia]

Hi!

I've been reading for 4 days now live docs and have found that I could actually have CFMX 7.02 running on a machine and the IIS webserver on another and the DB on another one. So far so good. But when I was reading live doc:

http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/administration/cfmx_in_distributed_mode/cfmx_in_distributed_...

I got really confused on the following line, actually the 1st. one!: Install ColdFusion MX on the application server. During installation, select the built-in (stand-alone) web server option.

Ok after I select the first choice ( not the one that tells you about the multiserver or the J2EE type! ) then it asks me to configure it for the IIS or ths stand alone one, but the stand alone warns me that it should be used

for development use only

so if my servers are going to be for production is ti ok to follow this option or should I use my IIS ?

The application servers (2X) have windows 2003 standard edition, with IIS6, and the web servers (2X) have the same configuration plus two load balancers and both application servers are behind 1 firewall, both with static IPs!

Oh yes last question, where should I put the SSL Certificate at the web servers or at the application ones? and how does I

to the coldfusion server, meaning how do I call, lets say from the www.mysite.com/ the index.cfm page and how the myhtmlpage.html ?

thank you!

Just solved it!

Read this technote and do it carefully everything they tell you to do!

Even with the JVM 6 (Update 5) !
