Question

CF8 on Mac OSX Leopard

Hi All

Got my new Macbook Pro (OSX version 10.5.2), need to setup CF8.... I tried installing CF8 using the Mac's Apache Web Server and ran into configuration issues. Ran out of time, so I uninstalled and tried to install CF8 using CF's built in web server (and run from port 8500). I got the same result - I couldn't run CF because it wouldn't start, couldn't bring up http://127.0.0.1:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm

Does anyone have a straight forward path of installing CF8 on the Mac OSX Leopard? I have uninstalled CF and don't want to move forward until I get a warm and fuzzy from someone who's already done this.... anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

Rich-

You've probably seen by now that CF 8.0.1 is out and has full Leopard support. I just ran the update without any problems and am happy to report that the CF Launcher services/scripts that install with the server worked! They did not work on pre-8.0.1 builds. Yeah!

Hopefully this version will alleviate any and all of your issues.

Cheers,
Craig

Yes, downloading as we speak! I'm so excited! Question: Other than running ColdFusion's uninstaller, do you know of anything else I need to clean up in order to run this new installer? Do you know if the new installer will work with Apache? I couldn't find any details about what all exactly this new Leopard installer handles....

Thanks again for your help and support!

Rich,

A quick google will turn up all you need. And yes, I have it running. My configuration is standalone, using Apache.

Thanks for all of the links, I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, I'm not the only one who seems to continue to struggle with even getting the cfadmin page to even display. I've chased installs and uninstalls all day to no avail with Apache and now I've tried the stand alone webserver version and that won't come up, the web page just hangs and doesn't even throw an error, it's been running for a half hour now. I can see that 2 Coldfusion processes are in fact running via the Activity Monitor but now I'm not certain what to try as the ol, reliable stand alone server won't even work.

Has anyone gotten the CF installation to work on Mac Leopard with the stand alone webserver? Did you have to do anything other than run the CF installer?

Thanks,

Rich

... just heard from Ben Forta: Since Leopard came out after CF8 technically it's unsupported, but any day Adobe will release an updater for Leopard....

Anyone have any success with the stand alone server, port 8500? I turned off web sharing and rebooted, just for grins, and localhost:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm still just runs and runs, no messages or feedback at all. Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Rich
