Question

CF on Macbook Pro Intel

OK, perhaps a bit enthusaistic, but raced out and tried to install CF on my
brand new Macbook Pro, and it fails to start when using the start tool
installed by CF. FYI - running 10.4.7 OS X.

Questions are:
Do I need to install JRun4? - Should I have done that first? If so, do I
need to uninstall CF 7? How do you do that - just drag the whole CF folder
to the Trash? Then what - install JRun, then CF again?

Do I need to change my version of Java? How do I do this if I have to?

Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Brendon

    All, this problem is now sorted, the jar file for some reason had to reside
    in a deeper directory, bounce the server, and away laughing!

    Thanks again,
    Brendon

    Bryan, and idea why it is failing at this hurdle, when trying to set up the
    connection through the CF Admin...

    "Connection verification failed for data source: brendon_test_mysql
    java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available for brendon_test_mysql,
    please check the driver setting in resources file, error: null
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available
    for brendon_test_mysql, please check the driver setting in resources file,
    error: null"

    I have the mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar residing in the
    /Applications/JRun4/servers/lib directory, and have restarted my machine. Do
    I need to rebuild/compile anything to pick it up in that directory?
    (originally, I had the 3.1.13 version that was in that directory initially).

    Thanks,
    Brendon

    Thanks Bryan,

    You don't by chance know which of the Apple Tools are required for the
    install do you? One of them, I am guessing the one I need, is over 900MB
    download...

    Thanks,
    Brendon

    That worked, but I had to do two tweaks. I decided to add to this thread as it was key to helping me...

    First, I had to create the wsconfig dir in /Applications/JRun4/lib as it was not there by default..

    As per your instructions, I had copied mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar into /Applications/JRun4/servers/lib but got the above error.

    After Googling portions of the above error(gotta love Google), I found this webpage

    Same error, and Brendon's last post he figured it out but left little details:

    All, this problem is now sorted, the jar file for some reason had to reside
    in a deeper directory, bounce the server, and away laughing!


    I opened a Terminal window and ran a find for other jar files

    cd /Applications/JRun4/

    find . -name "*.jar"

    I found many jar files in /Applications/JRun4/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/lib/

    So I said what the hell and copied the mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar to that dir, restarted the CFMX via Lingon(great app BTW) and boom it werked!
