No Such File Or Directory

Hi
I'm following the step-by-step instructions to Installing and Deploying ColdFusion MX 7 on Macintosh OS X with JRun 4 that I found on Macromedia Support:
I Install Developer version JRun 4, selecting Mac OSX
I download what I think is the latest JRun updater (a file called jrun4-macosx-sdk which contains 9 different .sit files which all expand e.g. one of these is JRun4Wizard) Not sure where am I supposed to put these?
I download ColdFusion MX7 - coldfusion-70-other.jar
I then go to run the CF MX7 installation from the command line as advised using terminal. I open terminal, type cd, leave a space then type the path to the coldfusion-70-other.jar file that I just downloaded. It then tells me No Such File Or Direcory. Why? I even drag the file into terminal to make sure I'm getting it right!
So I ignored this and tried to install it the "easier" way by double clicking the above file which takes me into install. I refer back to the instructions, creating directories in the right places etc. I then get to the part where I have to uncompress the war file using a command in terminal (cd Users/Tom/Applications/JRun/default/coldfusion) and again get No Such File etc.
Don't know if it's just me but setting up ColdFusion seems stupidly complicated with lots of conflicting methods/instructions!!
Please can someone help me? Thanks in advance
Tom

Tom,

I'm running CFMX 7.0.2 on my Macbook Pro. Here's what I did to install and get it working:
1. Downloaded CFMX 7 Developer Edition for English|Mac OS X| 180.13 MB from
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en%5Fus&product=coldfusion (note: the system may make you sign in to get to the page...if so, go to the Products --> ColdFusion page from the top nav on Adobe.com)
2. Uninstalled all previous JRun/CFMX installations on my machine. This was key for me and several blogs/sites recommended the same
3. Ran the CFMX 7.0.2 installer (note it is not *officially* supported on Intel Macs but CF8 will support Intel Macs).
4. Choose multiserver configuration so that it installs on top of JRun4.
5. Follow the steps in the install window/wizard
6. Downloaded the startCMFX scripts from:
http://www.web-relevant.com/blogs/cfobjective/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=7A6E6DBA-BDB9-5320-E11FFDA89A81B509
7. Double-clicked the icon to start CFMX and I was running.

The startCFMX application was what enabled me to get it running. When I tried to start it with the icon/app/script the appears in /Applications/JRun4, it would never work. This did.

When I installed CFMX, my system specs were:
Macbook Pro 17" Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz
2 MB of RAM
OS X 10.4.8

This might not solve your issue but I wanted to let you know what I did and what I had to get it running. Once it was installed, it's been solid.

Hope this helps!
