Apache Connector failures on RHEL5

Hello,
I bet this question gets asked a lot, but I can't find a very good answer. Installing CF8 on RHEL 5 goes fine, but as soon as the server starts up, the apache connector script fails. I checked both the cf-connectors.sh script and the apache-connector.sh script and both show the correct pointers to the apache binary, config and service scripts on the system.

Is there anyone who can help me through this connector script issue? Is there any way to tell why the script failed? I am really burnt out on this and it has taken me 3 days of long nights to get it installed and functional. This is a 32-bit system.

Any and all help will be appreciated. Also, I am not a Linux master by any stretch of the imagination. 🙂

Well, I always install in multiserver, but it might be the same...

Look in the root of your Coldfusion install. There should be a file named something like "ConnectorInstall0.txt"
If it's not there, from that folder (the root of the CF install), execute this command:
find . -name 'ConnectorInstall*'
Well I finally figured it out.

Problem 1: httpd-devel was not installed on the server
Problem 2: I had to manually edit the apache-connectors.sh script to find that the apache start/stop script isn't in the normal place.

After I took care of those two issues, everything worked for me! Thanks for all the help. :)

The message I keep getting during the initial run of the ./coldfusion start script is:

"There was an error while running the connector wizard
Connector installation was not successful"

I checked the cf-connectors.sh and apache-connector.sh files, and they have the correct apache locations in them. Something just isn't right.
