Is commandbox capable of handling the Solr Server in CFAdmin?
b
@ryan That's really outside of CommandBox
You can use the CF add-on services with a CommandBox server, just like any other J2E installation. You have to install the service and configure ACF to use it.

Thanks for the reply, Brad. Do you mean that we would need to install the service from a stand-alone CF installer in order for the service to operate?
b
@ryan Correct. That's how Adobe made that stuff
It's not part of the Java WAR, but a separate installation
r
ayyy ok... thanks, brad.
b
And by "installer", I mean the appropriate add on installer
Not the ColdFusion installer
r
oh
b
Adobe has a download page where you can get separate installers for all the add-ons
like PDF, etc
r
are those add=ons able to be grabbed from within CFAdmin?
b
Nope
I looked into automating them at one point, but found terrible support/docs for any sort of silent installers
An automated setup was simply not part of Adobe's design, I'm afraid
r
ok, that helps. Thank you so much .
The installers are different for each adobe version and each operating system
r
b
Nice, that's somewhat new
r
might be new, but might be something old and unusable.
b
Hmm, that seems to be for the CF installer itself, not the add-on installer

sounds about right HAHA

A couple related tickets
from 5 years ago -- impossible to actually set the .NET installer ports ahead of time. You just get random ports and then manually edit config files to fix
https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4202428 which is marked as closed, but I'm not clear what they actually did to resolve it 🤔

well, I know you are always on top of things like this. Sorry you don't get much support or feedback regarding some of these tickets.
Thanks again for enlightening
