ColdFusion 7.x Installation on Debian Sarge (3.1r1) Linux
Version 1.1
Author: O?uz Demirkap? <[email protected]>
Last edited 10 January 2006
I will try to explain here a clean Debian Sarge 3.1r1 and ColdFusion MX 7.0.1 installation.
I just downloaded Debian 3.1r1 NET install CD and started the installation. You can find detailed information about Debian installation on official Debian page or HowToForge page.
Installation depends on your requirements. Such as devices, partitions, etc. But what I have selected is a 2.6.x kernel on boot with "kernel26" start. When there is a question about package selection I did not install any package as default. I will add required packages later.
After base system installation, I installed following packages just for a web server such as MySQL, PHP, Perl support etc.
Of course you may decide about your own packages. But what is important for us is Apache2 server and if you need a database engine MySQL server. I also prefer to install Postfix instead of default Exim and I prefer to use it as SMTP server on my server.
I would suggest to use another desktop computer and reach your server via SSH. You may copy & paste these commands etc. easily. I would suggest Putty or SSH.com clients.
When we check server with IP on browser as "http://[machinename]/", we must get Apache default page. We can also check active services on the server with the nmap tool.
Here is my nmap results on localhost.
As you can see port 80 is there and waiting for you. :)
Let us start to install.
After download we can set required mode to start installation and start.
At this step we get a warning from the system. This is not direct problem for ColdFusion installation but as you can see if you need verity or custom tag supports you must find a solution. This error has been explained in ColdFusion Technotes for RedHat Linux. But these explanations does not work for Debian. I would suggest to install libstdc packages on Debian as follows:
I will test these services later and try to explain in another tutorial. But as I let you know this warning is not important for base installation.
First we select 30 day trial. We can update our license later via ColdFusion administrator.
We want to install ColdFusion with Apache webserver and we have selected server configuration.
We have just removed tutorials and documentation for security reasons from our server.
We will install first built-in web server and than we will configure Apache with the required connector later.
As default installation ColdFusion would be installed with nobody user. But I prefer to install with a real system user. This would be useful later when we need to define some rights etc. for ColdFusion server such as on CFFILE usage etc.
If you have not insterted a new user before, you can add a new one as "useradd cfmx" on Debian.
I prefer not to install RDS server on a production server because of security reasons.
Base installation has been completed. Now we can start the ColdFusion server for the first time.
Let us check the generated ColdFusion server log file.
As you can see there is a problem with "Graphing service" and it could not start. When we reach the ColdFusion Administrator pages as "http://[machinename]:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm" we also get the same error as below.
The reason of problem is X libraries that we do not have on our system yet. So we can install them with an easy step.
Than restarting ColdFusion server.
When we check again "cfserver.log" file we can see that graphing service has been started as expected.
As we can see graphing server is ok now.
Now we can get ColdFusion administrator page again without any problem as below as http://[machinename]:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Enter your password that you have defined while installation.
Click OK to reach ColdFusion administrator pages.
Now we have installed ColdFusion with built-in webserver.
It is time to connect ColdFusion with Apache webserver.
But instead of creating a script file I just use following command in order to configure Apache2 on Debian Linux.
OK. Now Apache is also configured.
We can check out Apache configuration file "httpd.conf".
Apache has been configured as expected.
We can now deactivate ColdFusion's built-in webserver because we do not need it anymore.
We open "/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/jrun.xml" file and set following "deactivated" parameter as "true".
And restart ColdFusion server again. When we check once more with nmap, we can see that port 8500 is already deactivated.
info.cfm
And call info.cfm as "http://[machinename]/info.cfm".
Just that! :)
If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact with me via "[email protected]".
Why This Tutorial?
Because there is no documentation about ColdFusion installation on Debian on the internet. As you know Debian Linux is not supported officially by Adobe. But Debian is one of the mosts used and well known Linux distributions especially for server usage and I think there would be some other people who want to use Debian and ColdFusion together.Debian Installation
I have decided to install a clean Debian Linux for this tutorial. I think we can also see required packages for a base system.
I just downloaded Debian 3.1r1 NET install CD and started the installation. You can find detailed information about Debian installation on official Debian page or HowToForge page.
Installation depends on your requirements. Such as devices, partitions, etc. But what I have selected is a 2.6.x kernel on boot with "kernel26" start. When there is a question about package selection I did not install any package as default. I will add required packages later.
After base system installation, I installed following packages just for a web server such as MySQL, PHP, Perl support etc.
debian:~# apt-get install apache2 apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork bzip2 diff gcc gzip libapache2-mod-php4 libberkeleydb-perl libc6-dev libcrypt-blowfish-perl libcrypt-cbc-perl libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl libdate-calc-perl libdate-manip-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libio-stringy-perl libmail-sendmail-perl libmailtools-perl libmcrypt4 libmd5-perl libmime-base64-perl libmime-perl libnet-dns-perl libnet-netmask-perl libnet-perl libnet-smtp-server-perl libperl5.8 libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsnmp-session-perl libterm-readkey-perl libterm-readpassword-perl libtimedate-perl make mysql-client-4.1 mysql-common-4.1 mysql-server-4.1 perl perl-base perl-modules php4 php4-gd php4-mcrypt php4-mysql php4-pear postfix postfix-tls procmail sasl2-bin ssh tar wget nmap mc
Of course you may decide about your own packages. But what is important for us is Apache2 server and if you need a database engine MySQL server. I also prefer to install Postfix instead of default Exim and I prefer to use it as SMTP server on my server.
I would suggest to use another desktop computer and reach your server via SSH. You may copy & paste these commands etc. easily. I would suggest Putty or SSH.com clients.

Here is my nmap results on localhost.
debian:~# nmap localhost

debian:~#
As you can see port 80 is there and waiting for you. :)
ColdFusion Installation
Now server is ready for ColdFusion installation. We can download ColdFusion installer for Linux "coldfusion-701-lin.bin" and start the installation. Unfortunately at this step I do not know any place where I can download required ColdFusion installer via Wget. I need to download first over web and put into my server via SSH.Let us start to install.
debian:~# ls -la

Pre-Installation Check
----------------------
The installer has found the following errors/warnings:
Warning: C++ compatibility pack
The installer was unable to determine if the C++ compatibility pack is
installed by running the following command: rpm --query compat-libstdc++
If this machine uses a version of glibc that is 2.2.5.x or higher the
compatibility pack is necessary for C++ custom tags, Verity, and web server
connectors to work properly.
For more information see the installation manual at

As default installation ColdFusion would be installed with nobody user. But I prefer to install with a real system user. This would be useful later when we need to define some rights etc. for ColdFusion server such as on CFFILE usage etc.
If you have not insterted a new user before, you can add a new one as "useradd cfmx" on Debian.
===============================================================================
RDS Password
------------
The ColdFusion Remote Development Service (RDS) lets developers using
Macromedia tools remotely connect to this server for development purposes.
If this is a production server, Macromedia recommends that you disable RDS.
Note, however, that disabling RDS also disables the directory browsing applets
in the ColdFusion Administrator and some of the functionality in the Report
Designer.

As we can see graphing server is ok now.
Now we can get ColdFusion administrator page again without any problem as below as http://[machinename]:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Enter your password that you have defined while installation.
Click OK to reach ColdFusion administrator pages.
Now we have installed ColdFusion with built-in webserver.
It is time to connect ColdFusion with Apache webserver.
Apache Webserver Configuration
If you check "/opt/coldfusionmx7/bin/connectors/" directory there are some connector files that we can use to connect ColdFusion with webservers such as "apache_connector.sh" for Apache webserver. But these files are not compatible with all version of OSs and we need to define our own.But instead of creating a script file I just use following command in order to configure Apache2 on Debian Linux.
debian:~# /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws apache -dir /etc/apache2/ -bin /usr/sbin/apache2 -script /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -coldfusion
Server version: Apache/2.0.54
Restarted Apache server
The Apache connector was installed to /etc/apache2
debian:~#

OK. Now Apache is also configured.
We can check out Apache configuration file "httpd.conf".
debian:~# cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# This is here for backwards compatability reasons and to support
# installing 3rd party modules directly via apxs2, rather than
# through the /etc/apache2/mods-{available,enabled} mechanism.
#
#LoadModule mod_placeholder /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_placeholder.so
# JRun Settings
LoadModule jrun_module /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun20.so
<IfModule mod_jrun20.c>
JRunConfig Verbose false
JRunConfig Apialloc false
JRunConfig Ssl false
JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false
JRunConfig Serverstore /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store

Apache has been configured as expected.
We can now deactivate ColdFusion's built-in webserver because we do not need it anymore.
We open "/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/jrun.xml" file and set following "deactivated" parameter as "true".
...
<service class="jrun.servlet.http.WebService" name="WebService">
<attribute name="port">8500</attribute>
<attribute name="interface">*</attribute>
<attribute name="deactivated">true</attribute>
<attribute name="activeHandlerThreads">8</attribute>
<attribute name="minHandlerThreads">1</attribute>
<attribute name="maxHandlerThreads">1000</attribute>
<attribute name="mapCheck">0</attribute>
<attribute name="threadWaitTimeout">300</attribute>
<attribute name="backlog">500</attribute>
<attribute name="timeout">300</attribute>
</service>
...
And restart ColdFusion server again. When we check once more with nmap, we can see that port 8500 is already deactivated.
First Test Page
Now we create a test file as "info.cfm" like below and put it into our Apache web root "/var/www/".info.cfm
<cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#SERVER#" label="Server Variables">
<br />
<cfdump var="#CGI#" label="CGI Variables">
</cfoutput>
And call info.cfm as "http://[machinename]/info.cfm".
Just that! :)
Notes
I will try to create other tutorials for database connection such as MySQL, PostgreSQL or Verity usage etc. on Debian.If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact with me via "[email protected]".
