Installation Prerequisites:

• Download AlmaLinux 9.2 Minimal ISO ( http://mirror.vtti.vt.edu/almalinux/9.2/isos/x86_64/AlmaLinux-9-latest-x86_64-minimal.iso )
• Download ColdFusion 2023 - Linux - ZIP

• Install AlmaLinux 9.2 Minimal ISO ( Minimal Install )

Commands:

sudo dnf check-update
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf install net-tools

^^ installing net-tools to use ifconfig ( ip is the newer version, you do you )

scp ColdFusion_2023_WWEJ_linux64.zip [email protected]:/root/

^^ copy from your host to the LINUX machine ( or use wget )

sudo dnf install unzip
unzip ColdFusion_2023_WWEJ_linux64.zip
unzip ColdFusion_WWEJ_linux64.zip
mv ColdFusion /opt/ColdFusion2023

cd /opt/ColdFusion2023/cfusion/bin
sudo ./cfinstall.sh
sudo ./coldfusion start

^^ maybe don't use sudo here - I'm pretty sure Freitag would not be cool with that.

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8500/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

!!! To fix the "service unavailable" error after installing ColdFusion and Apache, you can try the following steps:

Change the workers.properties file: Instead of using localhost, use 127.0.0.1. After making this change, restart Apache and test again. This file is created by the wsconfig tool, which is used to configure the connection between ColdFusion and a web server like Apache.
