Question

It doesnt seem like CF8 will install on Solaris 10 even though it says it will. I have tried to install using the instructions from Adobe's website but i keep getting the following error:

./Coldfusion-8-sol.bin: /tmp/install.dir.26470/Solaris/resource/jre/bin/java: cannot execute

Has anyone gotten CF8 or CF 7 to work on Solaris 10 64-bit system? I work for a company who wants to buy 12 licenses but if we cant get it to work on Solaris 10 it wont do us any good. Can someone help.

Hi,
The error you are seeing will happen only java binary cannot be executed in the provided platform. Can you try the following:

- in a prompt set the following variable (examples in bash):
export LAX_DEBUG=1
- Run the installer. This will print diagnostic messages in the console. Do paste the comple messages here. Also can you try to run CFMX7 installer and see if you are able to get past this error?

We support Solaris Sparc 9 and 10. Also we haven't seen any issues regarding the same. We would be happy to debug the issues for you.

Thanks

Hi,
Are you trying to install Coldfusion on Sparc Solaris? Coldfusion is shipped with java vm compatible with sparc processor and is only supported with Sprac solaris.

After more research into the documentation. It seems there is another download for the solaris 64 bit system. In the livedocs http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/help.html?content=Part_1_Installing_1.html it says I should be running a file named coldfusion-80-sol64.bin.

This is not one of the downloads in the list of trial downloads. Can someone please help?
