Question

Need Apache Config Help

I am having trouble installing CF8 Ent. I can get it to install correctly but when I try to start coldfusion it runs the apache connector wizard and get a message saying "coldfusion 8 not started. Retrying ..." It does this 12 times and although it says it has started, it has not. So I assume I am setting up the connection to Apache incorrectly however I am following the directions found here (and which worked in Red Hat 4):
http://gayanonline.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-install-coldfusion-8-on-linux.html

The only change to those directions that I made was to the script file. Instead of /etc/init.d/httpd I am using /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.

What am I missing and doing wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

Thanks for the reply. however, no dice. It "starts" normally but Apache is still not configured correctly. If I browse to a .cfm file it just reads it and displays the code on the screen. I am going to assume that is because the httpd.conf file was not set up correctly. I will surf around and see if I can find some instructions on configuring httpd.conf manually.

If you have a link or know what to do, by all means please post it.

Thanks again!

Ok here is the current status:
I have "installed" CF8 Ent but cannot get it to start up (see first post). I am finding that although I am going in and manually changing the paths in apache_connector.sh and attempting to start ColdFusion the wizard will just not do what it is supposed to. Now I have enough information to make the changes to httpd.conf, but the thing I have noticed is the folder that is found in /runtime/wsconfig/(number) is also not being created. Is this something I can do manually? If so what files, do I need?
