Installing the ColdFusion Add-on

This section provides instructions for installing the ColdFusion MX 6.1 add-on for Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.4.

Important: Before installing the add-on for ColdFusion MX 6.1, ensure that you have installed ColdFusion MX 6.1 on your Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.4 server.
If you have installed Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on the Parallels Pro Control Panel server, then the ColdFusion MX 6.1 installer fails. For instructions on resolving this issue, go to Coldfusion site ( http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/mx61updater/releasenotes_cfmx61_updater.html).

Note: After installing ColdFusion MX 6.1, ensure that the Master Properties sheet in Internet Information Services (IIS) on your Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.4 server does not have ColdFusion script maps. To verify this, click Start > Run, type inetmgr, and click OK. The IIS Manager window is displayed. In the IIS Manager window, expand the local computer, right-click Web Sites, and then click Properties. In the Web Sites Properties window, click the Home Directory tab, and then click Configuration. In the Application extensions section, if .cfc, .cfm, or .cfml extensions are present, select them, and click Remove.

This process prevents new sites created through the Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.4 interface from inheriting ColdFusion script maps automatically. Hence, you will be able to control provisioning of ColdFusion for new sites through the Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.4 interface. Failure to disable ColdFusion script maps for the IIS Master Properties sheet will result in all sites being automatically provisioned with ColdFusion.

To install the ColdFusion MX 6.1 add-on:

  1. Connect to the Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.4 server using the console or terminal services and log in as the administrator.
  2. Browse to the directory where your Parallels Pro Coldfusion Addon.10.3.4.msi file is located.
  3. Run Parallels Pro Coldfusion Addon.10.3.4.msi.

    The Coldfusion Addon installation window opens.

  4. Click Next.
  5. Click Install. The progress bar in the window indicates that the add-on is being installed.
  6. Click Finish to complete the installation.

    The ColdFusion MX 6.1 add-on is installed.

    An installation log named ColdfusionInstall.log is created and placed in the < install_dir >\Logs directory, for example, if you have installed Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.4 in the default location, then the path is C:\Program Files\Ensim\WEBppliance\Logs. You can view this log file to verify that the add-on has been installed and registered successfully.
