RE: [flexcoders] Installing Flex & CF

[Jeff Steiner]

The way that I do it?  I install CF 6.1 / or 7 Enterprise as a self contained server.  I either point it at IIS or at Apache (depending upon which machine I installed it on).  That installs (assuming Windows) JRun as the server with CF integrated to x:\cfusionmx.  That actually sets up your machine to now accept everything on port 80 through IIS – your extensions are routed through jrun.dll.  Now – install Flex J2EE style (without the testing server) and find flex.war in the install directory.  Extract flex.war to c:\temp and you should see 2 directories; web-inf and meta-inf.  Disregard meta-inf and delve into the web-inf directory.  Copy the Flex directory to c:\cfusionmx\wwwroot\web-inf and do the same with the libs directory contents (to the same wwwroot\web-inf\libs\*.  Now comes the fun part.  Merge web.xml following the directions that you can find in multiple locations on the web – including locations earlier in this chain of emails.  After doing so – restart the ColdFusion service and head into IIS Configuration Manager.  Under properties of your website, find the configuration button and add the file extensions .mxml and .swf to point at the same jrun.dll that .cfm is pointing to.  At this point I restart the website and viola – should serve up your mxml pages right away.   The above makes it so that you can drop every file into the same directory and call them like a normal file (without regard to port number)   Jeff Founder Flex Authority http://www.flexauthority.com   We are actively seeking contributors for the site.  Have a sample that you want to share with the world?  Send it to us!

What is the best scenario to follow when wanting a single server with Flex & CF without having to develop and deploy using ports. That is the ultimate goal I suppose for the location we are trying to help. d. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Jeff Steiner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David, > >  > > Correct on having Flex installed on your CF Server (If you are running the > integrated version of CF - otherwise this would be considered Flex on JRun). > Your JAVA stuff will work on any instance of JRun installed.  For example - > after merging an install of CF / Flex and JRun you should be able to run > .jsp, servlets, cfm, cfc all from the same directory. > >  > > Jeff > > Founder > > Flex Authority > >  <http://www.flexauthority.com> http://www.flexauthority.com > >  > > We are actively seeking contributors for the site.  Have a sample that you > want to share with the world?  Send it to us! > >   _____  > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On > Behalf Of DavidLand > Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 8:37 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Installing Flex & CF.
