Question

CF8 install problems on linux server

Really some basic install questions as it seems this should be simple enough, but I am a little confused with the jrun part. I am running on a Cent OS 5 server, the install I assume is the multi-server. It was installed to the default /opt location and I have both the coldfusion and jrun folders. I changed the apache connector to work which gave me the all good, but I have the following.

I can hit the admin page http://server.domain.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm ( no ports ). But when I try to load one of our pages I get;
[Tue Mar 10 11:21:00 2009] [notice] jrApache[18561: 13457] JRun will not accept request. Check JRun web server configuration and JRun mappings on JRun server.

I am still confused if I need to start cf (/opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion start), AND start jrun (/opt/jrun4/jrun -start cfusion) but things just won't work, and I think I need a high level look 1st. Do I need that above jrun, if so how to setup, etc. If I run the ./jrun -start cfusion then try to run the cf-connectors.sh I get;
Configuring the web server connector for ColdFusion 8 (multiserver)
Running apache connector wizard...
=======================================
There was an error while running the connector wizard
Connector installation was not successful
=======================================

So any push in the right direction will help. I can provide anything, tried to be as descriptive as I can, but let me know.

Thanks

    I would guess you have ColdFusion installed, but your web server has not
    yet been configured to do something about it. You need to configure
    your web server to know that when it gets requests for ColdFusion
    resources, such as .cfm, .cfc. and .cfr files, it needs to pass the
    request off to the ColdFusion engine, not just serve the files to the
    client as a text file.

    You should be able to find the information you need by searching for
    information on wsconfig and ColdFusion web server connector.

    These two sections of the documentation are all about this topic.

    I have a similar problem. I have BlueOnyx - Centos 5.2 running I finally Googled enough the get the installer to run. Now when I go to 192.168.1.???/cfide/administrator I see the coldfusion directory structure. When I add index.cfm it tries to download the file. I don't have /opt/coldfusion8 directory but do have /opt/jrun4/
    I think I am at the point of starting coldfusion but linux is not my strong point. So I am wondering where to go now.

    It sounds like the connectors are not making it into your web server
    configuration, Apache I presume, probably Apache 2?

    We had problems with this with our recent ColdFusion install to a new
    Solaris 10 box. I found the solution with some diligent Google
    searching. Unfortunately I don't have the links at hand this second.
    But it basically involved manually compiling the web server connectors
    and configuring the web server connector for Apache.


    P.S. When you use ColdFusion in the Multi-home or J2EE configuration it
    is installed under a Java Server such as JRun. You then start
    ColdFusion by starting with the Java server syntax.

    If you have both /opt/colfusion8/bin/coldfusion and
    /opt/jrun4/jrun/servers/cfusion/ folders then it sounds like you have
    both a stand alone and either a multi-home or j2ee installation on your
    system. In such a case you would need to be very careful to not have
    them stepping on each others toes.
