4 CHAPTER 2 Preparing to Install ColdFusion You can install ColdFusion 8 in any of the following configurations: Server configuration Lets you install one instance of ColdFusion 8 with an embedded J2EE server. This configuration most closely resembles the ColdFusion MX base release and other releases prior to ColdFusion MX, such as ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion 4.5. This was formerly known as the stand-alone configuration. For information on installing the server configuration, see "Installing the Server Configuration" on page 7. Multiserver configuration (Enterprise Edition only) Installs Macromedia® JRun™ from Adobe and automatically deploys ColdFusion 8 in a separate JRun server instance. This configuration supports server instance creation and ColdFusion deployment in the ColdFusion Administrator and lets you manage ColdFusion 8 deployments on multiple JRun servers. For information on installing the multiserver configuration, see "Installing the Multiserver Configuration" on page 17. J2EE configuration (Enterprise Edition only) Lets you deploy ColdFusion 8 as a Java application running on a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application server, using the bundled license of JRun or a third-party J2EE server, such as IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic. When you use the J2EE configuration, you can deploy ColdFusion 8 multiple times on a single computer. For information on installing the J2EE configuration, see "Installing the J2EE Configuration" on page 25.
