Adobe ColdFusion 8

Installing Verity Search Server

By default, the installer installs the Verity search server on the same computer as ColdFusion, unless you install ColdFusion on a computer that is running Mac OS X or AIX. To enable searches using Verity, you must install the Verity search server separately if any of the following is true:

  • You are running ColdFusion in a J2EE configuration with a WAR or EAR file.
  • You plan to install the Verity search server on a different computer from the one where you install ColdFusion.
  • You installed ColdFusion on a computer that is running Mac OS X or AIX.

You should start by planning the answers to questions asked by the Installer:

  1. "Where would you like to install?" _______________________________

    Adobe recommends that you specify a location that is not a subdirectory of the application server directories.

  2. The IP address of the ColdFusion Server from which this machine will accept requests __________________

    The IP address is necessary only if you are installing Verity search server on a different computer from the one where you installed ColdFusion. If you do not specify an IP address, the Installer uses the default 127.0.0.1, which is localhost.

Install the Verity search server separately

  1. Download your platform-specific installer from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/go/verity or copy it from the ColdFusion 8 DVD, as follows:
    • Windows - coldfusion-search.win.exe
    • Linux - coldfusion-search-lin.bin
    • Solaris - coldfusion-search-sol.bin
  2. Close any applications that are currently running on your computer.
  3. Run the platform-specific installer using the appropriate command.

    Note: Only console installations are available for UNIX systems.

  4. (UNIX only) If you chose not to start the Verity search server automatically, start, stop, and restart Verity by running verity_root/bin/cfsearch -start | -stop | -restart.

Installing Verity on Linux

If you are installing Verity on a computer that is running Linux, that computer must have the appropriate libstdc++ compat package, as follows:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 - compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122

Red Hat Enterprise Linux4 - compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3

SUSE 10 - compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-22.2
