The only pre-requisite is that your server is running ColdFusion 8 or above. Here are the steps:

Note that the following steps assume your site is already created

  1. Download ColdSpring.
  2. Unzip ColdSpring, rename the unzipped folder to “coldspring” and copy it into your site root.
  3. Download Model-Glue.
  4. Unzip the Model-Glue archive into a temp folder.
  5. Copy the Model-Glue folder into your site root.
  6. Copy the contents of the /modelglueapplicationtemplate directory to your site root. Do NOT copy the folder itself.
  7. From your site root, open /config/ColdSpring.xml and delete the two occurrences of “/modelglueapplicationtemplate” on lines 12 and 13. This should result in your viewMappings being “/views” and your generatedViewMapping being “/views/generated”
  8. From your site root, open /config/ModelGlue.xml and delete “modelglueapplicationtemplate.” from line 3 making it “controller.Controller” instead of “modelglueapplicationtemplate.controller.Controller”.
  9. Delete Application.cfm from your site root and replace it with the Application.cfc in this zip file.
  10. Open Application.cfc and change the application name from yourAppNameHere to your application name. If you don’t know what to use, use your domain minus the dot, i.e., “myDomainCOM”.

Providing your server is running ColdFusion 8 or above, you should now have a working Model-Glue site! To test it, open the site in your browser and you should see a message stating “Model-Glue is up and running!”
