Problems installing CF 10 with Apache 2.2.24 (or 2.4) on RHEL 6.4

Built Apache using openssl 1.0.1e (updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH to reflect the correct openssl libs) and pcre. Configure for build was:

configure --enable-ssl=shared --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl  --enable-so --with-included-apr --with-pcre  --with-perl

Also downloaded and built the connector from http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/rhel-connector-configuration.html after the vanilla CF install didn't work. I get the following when I try to start up CF:

[root@web01 logs]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/coldfusion_10 start

Starting ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion ...

The ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion is starting up and will be available shortly.

nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'

======================================================================

Running the ColdFusion 10 connector wizard

======================================================================

Configuring the web server connector (Launched on the first run of the ColdFusion 10 start script)

Running /usr/local/apache2/conf connector wizard...

=======================================

There was an error while running the connector wizard

Connector installation was not successful

=======================================

======================================================================

ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion has been started.

ColdFusion 10 will write logs to /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/logs/coldfusion-out.log

======================================================================

The wsconfig.log contains the following:

[root@web01 wsconfig]# cat wsconfig.log

    Do you have any errors or interesting messages in the CF or Apache log

    files ? Is the mod_jk module loaded into apache ? (Here's a typical config

    snippet for Apache:

    Mack,

    From Priyank's post, I now suspect the issue lies with RHEL 6.4. I've looked at the link you included, plus the custom connector build one, and it still won't load up. I'm going to rebuild the server with RHEL 6.1. I like to be using supported configurations.

    Thanks!

    Sue,

    Did you ever discover if the issue was with RHEL 6.4? Did 6.1 work fine for you? IT is starting the process to upgrade our environment and their standard is 6.4.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    RHEL 6.4 is not the supported version of RHEL, Supported version are 5.6 and 6.1. We published an article you can try if that helps.

    http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/rhel-connector-configuration.html

    However if that doesn't work please try this in Supported environment.

    Regards,

    Priyank

    Thanks, Priyank Shrivastava

    Priyank,

    Thanks for the info. I had already tried that article building the connector already, so it does not help the issue. Hadn't located the support matrix re OS levels. The rest of my RHEL installs are 6.3 or higher, so I was hoping to go with the same. I'll try rebuilding with 6.1 and see if that helps. I've seen some references to using Apache 2.4. Is that officially supported with CF10? I need to get something stable built with whatever versions are known to work well.

    Regards,

    Sue
