Straightforward MX7/Apache 2.0 Installation InstructionsNeeded

[frdcooper]

Hello,
I have been working with CFMX 7 in a development level on a laptop running
Windows XP with the built in webserver. I am taking the next step towards
deploying to a webserver we have (we will be using Novel 6.5 with Apache 2.0).
To make our process clean, I am setting up my laptop with Apache 2.0 and
setting up CF to use that as my webserver. I am having problems connecting the
two. I have seen instructions for copying the ApacheModuleColdfusion.dll from
the CF root to the Apache root but cannot find that file in the CF root where
it is supposed to be. Does anyone have a set of straightforward instructions
on the installaiuon and configuration for this process. I have been following
the Macromedia instructions along with bits and pieces from the forums but have
not been successful. Also, once I get that setup I will take the next step
to install our CF License on the server which already has Apache2.0 (installed
with Novel 6.5). Will the same instructions apply for that configuration. I
am working in a public school district and am trying to tackle this from the
ground up with the resources we have and appreciate any help there is to offer.

Thanks,

Fred Donato:confused;

I'm not sure where you got the name of that DLL but here are the instructions
to configure the "Connector" between Apache and CFMX7,

As far as your Production configuration goes, CFMX doesn't support Novel
directly; but you can install Apache on a Novel partition/disk, share it out to
a Windows machine and run Apache on the windows machine. CFMX does support
Apache running on the Novel server.

ApacheColdFusion.dll is a CF5 module. The JRun (CF) module is mod_jrun20.so (yes, even with Windows).
