ColdFusion8 Linux/Apache Install Problems

I forget to add: Making ear/war of coldfusion went just great on s390. I am just waiting to deploy it on application server and configure it.

In this cases I also doubt that the package for AIX is only for AIX, because I installed this version on 64 bit Intel based processor architecture with 32 bit Ubuntu Linux. So, I rather call the jar package "platform-independent" or "manual-install" rather AIX. The installer is pure java so java depends only on system/java headers/libraries. It also does not do anything special while installation, but only creating ear/war and deploy it in jrun.:)
You also don't need to choose jrun as deployment J2EE server, you can choose any other.

Hello Kenny,

Well, I got it installed. I used a +x instead of a -x after
chmod and then I could start it.

As for your problem. You are using the 64bit coldfusion-801-lin64.bin
Maybe this is why the exe will not run on your machine (if it
is 32 bit)

Try using coldfusion-801-lin.bin (no 64 in the name)

Hope this helps.

ps.
In cf administrator it wants a DSN to connect to.
I am using MySql 4/5 as a driver , but I though DSN is a Windows.
concept.

Oh, well. More slogging through Linux learning curve.

Good luck.

Hello Kenny,
Don't worry about getting salty. Here is what happened...

jpl@10BedfordLinux:/bin$ is my command line after I did
cd to /bin.

jpl@10BedfordLinux:/bin$ chmod -x /bin/coldfusion-801-lin.bin
chmod: changing permissions of `/bin/coldfusion-801-lin.bin': Operation not permitted
It would not allow doing the above, so I tried it with sudo below...

jpl@10BedfordLinux:/bin$ sudo chmod -x coldfusion-801-lin.bin
sudo allowed me to chmod.

So now I try to run it...
jpl@10BedfordLinux:/bin$ coldfusion-801-lin.bin
bash: /bin/coldfusion-801-lin.bin: Permission denied
once again permission denied when I tried to run it.

So I tried to do sudo again
jpl@10BedfordLinux:/bin$ sudo coldfusion-801-lin.bin
sudo: coldfusion-801-lin.bin: command not found
I tried sudo again and this time it said it was not found.

Then I tried it with the ./ in front of it... same thing.
jpl@10BedfordLinux:/bin$ sudo ./coldfusion-801-lin.bin
sudo: ./coldfusion-801-lin.bin: command not found
jpl@10BedfordLinux:/bin$

So I'm still stuck with my inadequate Linux savvy.
Good luck. Hope someone responds.

Hello,

I am trying to do the same thing you are. The problem is
I don't even know how to run coldfusion-801-lin.bin!
I am experienced with coldfusionm, but really new to Linux.
Let me know how to start and I'll let you know
how far I get and what I can find out.

Thank you
Joe
