ColdFusion Installation with Apache web server - apache

I had a good experience configuring ColdFusion applications using IIS Web server but my client is asking me to configure the applications using Apache. I found few links where in I did not get the exact required information. My Question is is there any official path to download the Apache. If yes can any one share the path. How do I go after downloading the Apache web server. Does any one have step by step process to configure the Apache in ColdFusion.
By the way I am using ColdFusion 11 enterprise edition. We had multiple instances related to this ColdFusion 11. I had a option to select Apache when going to WSConfig file. But I am not exactly sure if I need to download the software before doing this process.

As per the ColdFusion 11 Support Matrix, Apache 2.2.26 and 2.4 are supported. You can download Apache 2.4 from here.
You can refer to this document, for how to install, configure and run Apache 2.4 under Microsoft Windows.
And lastly, you can refer to ColdFusion 11 Installation guide for installing and configuring CF11 with Apache.

How to install OpenAM Web Policy Agent on Windows Apache HTTP Server?

I am trying to install OpenAM using Default Configuration on Windows from the official documentation of OpenAM: https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/openam/13.5/getting-started/#create-web-policy-agent-profile
In the last step of Setting up the Software: To Install OpenAM Web Policy Agent, they have installed OpenAM Web Policy Agent on Linux. Can someone specify the steps to install it on a Windows system.
PS - I have installed Apache HTTP Server and performed all the previous steps as mentioned.
Are you trying to install the Web Agent on IIS or are you trying to install it via Apache HTTP Server on Windows? I assume the latter. So not much is really different between the 2 operating systems with Apache as you are just installing and enabling the agent module. All the agentadmin really does is write to the apache configuration the location of the module, the configuration location along with some syntax to turn it on. It also does some connectivity / sanity checks etc.
One thing to note is that you have referenced the OpenAM/QuickStart documentation rather than the actual agent documentation itself, where you will find far more useful information.
I am assuming that because you are using 13.5 then you are using the community edition, of which only WPA 4.x will work.
My DockerFile installs the agent like this for apache24 through the following command (using choco to install apache24). However, it can be translated quite easily and is available in the documentation:
RUN ["powershell", "-Command", "C:/web_agents/apache24_agent/bin/agentadmin.exe --s 'C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf' 'http://openam.xxx.xx:8080/am' 'http://agent.xxx.xx:80' '/' 'wpa-agent' 'c:/pwd.txt' --acceptLicence --forceInstall"]

Host Solr 5.3 using tomcat in windows box

Steps to Host Solr 5.3 in Tomcat Server in windows box.
i am able to host Solr 4.7 but there are few files missing in 5.3 so unable to host it.
This is no longer a supported configuration. So, even if it worked, there might be issues later. The strong recommendation is to use the server solution that Solr comes with out of the box.

How to install Apache without disturbing the existing instance?

I have the apache 2.2 installed in my RHEL 6.1 and I wanted to try Apache 2.4 before switching to it.
I downloaded the latest version and when I googled around for manual install, I found so many different documents. But I do not know whether my new installation will overwrite my existing apache installation..
I would like to know whether its possible to install Apache on the same maching without disturbing the existing apache service (including no changes to the system configs) ?? If yes, how can I do that?
I would like to install the latest apache with different service (say httpd2) and try it if things are working without any problems (anyway I would stop the other service when I try one).
Any suggestions or help links?
I suggest to look at this: http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/10/01/using-apache-httpd-2-4-rhel6/
Apache 2.4 is part of Red Hat Software Collections, are Red Hat supported, and are part of the RHEL subscriptions. Look for this in the software collections channel.

Facing problems installing Apache Solr 4.x for Drupal 7 on a remote server

I am trying to install Solr 4.6 with Drupal 7. For some reason, I am not able to. Probably, I am trying to install it on a remote server (my website server).
Here are the steps I am doing:-
Download Apache Solr Drupal Module from here and placed it in my Drupal modules folder (sites/all/modules/)
Enabled Apache Solr search and Apache Solr framework modules in admin/modules
Downloaded Apache Solr 4.2 from http://www.dsgnwrld.com/am/lucene/solr/4.6.0/
Unpack it outside my drupal installation and outside my web root/folder. (~/srv/www/solr)
Went to sites/all/modules/apachesolr/solr-conf/solr-4.x and copied all files to ~/srv/www/solr/example/solr/conf
I am stuck after this. I know I have to access my server at this address ~/srv/www/solr/example through command prompt (Terminal) to start the Apache Service but how can I do that?
Plus, on the site, it's written that I can access the Solr admin interface by visiting
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin, but how can I do that when my site is located on a remote server?
Please help.
Thanks.
I believe you have solr 4.6 (rather than 4.2) from the link you presented but the steps are the same for both.
Although Solr can run in any Java Servlet Container of your choice, the example index includes a small installation of Jetty.
To launch Jetty with the Solr WAR, and the example configs, just run the start.jar ...
user:~$ cd ~/srv/www/solr/example
user:~/srv/www/solr/example$ java -jar start.jar
At that point the server should be listening on 0.0.0.0:8983.
You can then access this server using http://remote.ip.or.hostname:8983/solr/admin (ex. http://8.8.8.8:8983/solr/admin)
You may want to consult the tutorial in the docs for further information.

Web DevelopmentL: PHP & Apache

Im trying to write a blog using PHP,I downloaded Php 5, Notepad++ And Apache Tomecat 7.
The problem is that I dont know where to save the .Php files I wrote so I can open them using the Apache Server.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.
You don't need Tomcat server that is for Java applications.
You're best bet is to install WAMP (on Windows) or LAMP (on Linux) then you have all the tools including MySQL to start coding. The Apache server comes preconfigured for use with PHP.
If you're coding on Windows then WAMP is a single install package.
There are plenty of tutorials to help you out, but essentially your Apache server will have a web root directory named "www" in it's configuration file. That's where you place all of your php and html files, etc.
[Edit]
Reading some of the comments, the recommendation for WAMP or XAMP for your local development. You can run all this comfortably on a laptop. When it comes to releasing your application to the world you will probably want to pick a Hosting service that supports PHP and will take care of all the server configuration for you. You'll just be copying up your PHP code files and creating the databse.
