Installing Stand-alone Addon Service

[mduey]

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
