Apache 2.2.3 and Red Hat 5 install problems

I am having trouble installing CF8 Ent. I can get it to install correctly but when I try to start coldfusion it runs the apache connector wizard and get a message saying "coldfusion 8 not started. Retrying ..." It does this 12 times and although it says it has started, it has not. So I assume I am setting up the connection to Apache incorrectly however I am following the directions found here (and which worked in Red Hat 4):
http://gayanonline.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-install-coldfusion-8-on-linux.html

The only change to those directions that I made was to the script file. Instead of /etc/init.d/httpd I am using /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.

What am I missing and doing wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

    1. verify that cf is running (ps aux | grep -i cold)
    2. verify that it's listening on the port specified in Bootstrap option
    in the apache conf
    3. check cf and apache logs for more info
