The procedure for installing the API Manager in ColdFusion varies according to your platform (Microsoft Windows, Linux, or Apple Mac OS X).

Windows

The ColdFusion API Manager installation wizard navigates you through the various steps of the installation process through an intuitive user interface.

There is also an add-on installer that installs the API Manager data store and analytics server. You can install the API Manager in one machine and the data store and analytics server in separate machines.

System Requirements

Windows

  • Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or Windows Server 2012 R2
  • 2 GHz or faster processor
  • 3-GB hard-disk space recommended
  • Latest version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer browsers

Installing the API Manager

Double-click on the installer to see the screen below:

Installing API Manager
Installing API Manager

  1. Enter the location to install API Manager. By default, the installer creates C:\ColdFusion2016APIManager directory.

  2. Enter the ColdFusion (2016 release) license key.

    You can also opt for a 30-day trial of API Manager. After the trial period ends, you need to register the product with a valid ColdFusion (2016 release) serial number.

  3. In the Port field, enter the port of the API Manager.

  4. Select if you want to install Analytics Server or Data Store locally or remotely. Enter the ports for the sub components.

  5. Enter the administrator credentials of API Manager.

Installing API Manager add-ons

You can also install the API Analytics Server and the API Data store using an add-on installer. The size of an add-on installer is less than the size of an API Manager installer. Choose both the options and follow the onscreen instructions. Enter the ports for the components and click Install.

Note:

You need both the Analytics Server and the Data store  for API Manager to run.

Logging in to the Administrator portal

After the API Manager installs and has started, log in to the Administrator portal.

The Administrator portal is a platform to manage and administer properties and functionality of the ColdFusion API Manager. Through the administrator portal, you can manage all published APIs, set up cluster and notifications, create user and user stores, and set API authentication policies.

To log in to the Administrator portal:

  1. Open a browser and enter http ://<locahost or IP address>:<port number>/admin
  2. Enter the user name and password. Click Login.

Changing the datastore password

Windows:

Open the file redis .windows.conf.properties in <API Manager Home>/database/datastore, search for the entry requirepass , edit the value, and restart API Manager.

Non-Windows:

Open the file redis.conf.properties in <API Manager Home>/database/datastore, search for the entry  requirepass , edit the value, and restart API Manager.

Linux

After Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release) installs, the binary file is copied in the <ColdFusion install folder> directory.

You can use the installation steps on the following OS flavors:

  • Solaris
  • SUSE Linux
  • RHEL
  • Ubuntu

Starting Adobe API Manager on Linux

  1. To start API Manager, navigate to the directory that contains API Manager installer. Typically, the location is /opt/coldfusion2016apimanager/bin. Enter ./apimanager start.

    Th API Manager Datastore and the Analytic server services also starts when you execute the above command.

  2. If you have already installed API Manager Datastore and Analytic server, you can bypass installing the add-ons again. Enter ./apimanager start skipaddons  in the terminal.

Mac OS X

Starting Adobe API Manager on Mac

  • Navigate to /opt/coldfusion2016apimanager/bin. Enter ./apimanager start.
  • To start API Manager:
  • Navigate to <API_Manager_install_dir>/bin and enter./start.sh.

    Note:

    You need these two services to run, otherwise you will be unable to start API Manager.

    Navigate to <APIM_Home>/wsconfig and run ./wsconfig -usage. You can see all wsconfig  options. To configure Apache, enter the following command:

    ./wsconfig –ws Apache –dir <apache-conf-dir> - vhost All

    There are no port changes. You can access the API Manager portal and proxy from Apache's port. But, you can still access the administrator from port 9000.

    Install API Manager silently

    You can install Adobe ColdFusion API Manager silently. A silent installation does not interact with the user. A silent installation is useful when you install API Manager on multiple computers with the same installation options and configuration.

    Create the properties file

    The silent.properties file is an ASCII text file that defines the installation parameters. Specify the details as provided in the file. Select only the ones that apply to your installation type.

    INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
    
    INSTALL_DRIVE_ROOT =C\:\\
    USER_INSTALL_DIR=C\:\\ColdFusion2016APIManager
    
    LICENSE_MODE=full
    PREV_SERIAL_NUMBER=
    SERIAL_NUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    
    USE_WITH_CF="","No"
    USE_WITH_CF_2=No
    
    APIM_SERVER_PORT_1=9000
    
    USER_DATA_STORE=Yes
    USER_REDES_PORT_1=6379
    REDIS_PORT_NUMBER=6379
    USER_REDES_INFO_2=1
    USER_REDES_INFO_1=1
    
    USER_ANALYTIC_SERVER=Yes
    ANALYTICS_PORT_NUMBER=9200
    USER_REDES_PORT_2=9200
    
    USER_ADMIN_CRED_3=admin
    USER_ADMIN_CRED_2=admin
