I'm concerned about installation. This came pre-installed. Normally with Windows I would easily reinstall but I'm not sure about drivers or even tech support. It is a Dell PowerEdge 350, it is however just a development server. Everything will be reinstalled from scratch on a new server for full

I would use /usr/local/www for the DocumentRoot and /usr/local/coldfusion for the coldfusion base. Apache is easy to change, edit the httpd.conf to show the new location of the document root. Look for the line DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs" or some such directory. Coldfusion will probably prompt

I really think Apache uses /etc/httpd, is it safe to change that? Will it affect other programs? ColdFusion wants to install to /opt, is that safe to change? Should I make a /usr/ColdFusion or /var/ColdFusion? On Fri, 2002-06-21 at 09:43, Willem van der Walt wrote: > Hi, > Under 7.2, the web hom

Hi, Under 7.2, the web home dir is normally under /var/www. I would try to tell the installation program to change prefix to some thing else. If that does not work, I would make a link to a directory under /usr where there is a lot of space. If it wants to create a directory called newprog under

We just received a new RedHat v7.2 server from Dell. This is an experiment to see how linux works compared to our current installation of NT servers. This will be an intranet server behind our firewall. Our 40gb drive came partitioned as follows: /dev/hda1 ext3990mb /home /dev/hda6
