This tutorial covers the steps of getting Cold Fusion up and running with Apache on a Windows-based system.

Step 1 - Locate httpd.conf

• Navigate to the Apache installation folder (Typically c:\program files\Apache Group\Apache). Once there, look for the conf directory. In the conf directory you should find several files that end in .conf (config files) Open up httpd.conf with a text editor.

Step 2 - Locate ApacheModuleColdFusion.dll

• In your coldfusion bin directory (typically c:/cfusion/bin) you should find a file called ApacheModuleColdFusion.dll, note its location.

Step 3 - Edit httpd.conf

• Add the following line to httpd.conf (on one line)
  LoadModule coldfusion_module c:/cfusion/bin/ApacheModuleColdFusion.dll
  Make sure every file path you use in the httpd.conf file is specified using forward slashes (/). You may also need the line: AddModule mod_coldfusion.c

Step 4 - Resart Apache

• If you are running apache as a service go to the service manager and restart the service. If you are running apache with apache.exe execute the following command: apache -k restart
