CFML 8 on Linux wont start

Good day all. This is my first attempt at running CFML on linux, and I seem to be running into an issue (which others will undoubtedly think is simple!). The install worked without issue except for it saying that it wasn't sure it could find libstdc++.5  I used Yum to install this, ran the uninstaller and reinstalled, but still no good. When I open the web page it wants to know what application I should use to open or save the .cfm files.

here is the output when I try to start the server, as well as the log input after that.


[root@testcfml bin]# ./coldfusion start

The ColdFusion 8 server is starting up and will be available shortly.

I see that it gives a warning trying to open the licenses.properties file. Could this be permissions?

Thank you!

/opt/coldfusion8/runtime/lib/license.properties need to be readable by

the user under which CF runs. But it looks like the server started up

properly. You'll need to run the wsconfig utility to connect CF to

your webserver (I assume you're using Apache as the web server).

Thank you for your resposne. I don't actually see a file at all for  /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/lib/license.properties which makes me wonder if the install failed? I could touch the file, but I believe that my serial number included in my product needs to be in there in some fashion, right? I ran the wsconfig but the web server (you are correct in assuming Apache) is still not processing the cfm files, but rather believes I should be downloading them. Thank you again for any help you may be able to provide.

Sincerely,

Xtort.

Interesting results of running wsconfig with the options...

[root@testcfml bin]# ./wsconfig -ws Apache -dir /etc/httpd/conf/
JRun server default cannot be found on host 127.0.0.1.
Confirm that JRun server 127.0.0.1 is started.

How do I start the JRun server?
