Installing the Verity search server separately

To enable searches using Verity, you must install the Verity search server separately if either of the following is true:

• You are running ColdFusion in a J2EE configuration with a WAR or EAR file.
• You want to install the Verity search server on a different machine from the one where you install ColdFusion MX 7.

You should start by planning the answers to questions asked by the Installer:

• "Where would you like to install?" _______________________________

  Macromedia recommends that you specify a location that is not a subdirectory of the application server directories.

• The IP address of the ColdFusion Server that this machine will accept requests from__________________

The IP address is necessary only if you are installing Verity search server on a different computer from the one where you installed ColdFusion MX 7. If you do not specify an IP address, the Installer uses the default 127.0.0.1, which is localhost.

To install the Verity search server separately:

1. Download your platform-specific installer from the Macromedia website at www.macromedia.com/go/verity or copy it from the ColdFusion MX CD, as follows:
   • Windows - coldfusion-search.win.exe
   • Linux - coldfusion-search-lin.bin
   • Solaris - coldfusion-search-sol.bin
2. Close any applications that are currently running on your computer.
3. Run the platform-specific installer using the appropriate command.

   Note: Only console installations are available for UNIX systems.

4. (UNIX only) If you chose not to start the Verity search server automatically, start, stop, and restart Verity by running verity_root/bin/cfmxsearch -start | -stop | -restart.

It sounds to me like you've done everything correctly. I suggest posting your question to the online forums to see if you can get any other suggestions.
