This section lists the system requirements for ColdFusion MX for Windows and UNIX.
Note: If you use Macromedia ColdFusion Studio to develop your web applications, note that ColdFusion MX only supports ColdFusion Studio versions 4.5.2 and 5.0.
This section lists the Windows system requirements for the Macromedia ColdFusion MX Server Developer, Professional, and Enterprise Editions. An "x" in the following table means that the Edition supports the requirement in that row.
* ColdFusion MX only supports the stand-alone web server for this platform. Macromedia does not recommend using the stand-alone web server in a production environment.
† To install ColdFusion MX in Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows 2000 Server, you must already have the following components installed: MDAC 2.5 SP1
(http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm) and MFC/MSVC 6.0
(localdrive\ColdFusion Image\Redistrib\MSVCRT\setup.exe).
‡ The Macromedia ColdFusion MX team has tested integration with the .Net Framework version 1 and Service Pack 1.
£ ColdFusion MX does not include the driver for this database. For more information, see "Connecting to an external JDBC Type 4 data source," in Chapter 2.
This section lists the UNIX system requirements for the Macromedia ColdFusion MX Server Developer, Professional, and Enterprise Editions. An "x" in the following table means that the edition supports the requirement in that row.
