Problems installing CFMX 7 on Mac OSX 10.6.4

My wife's business has been using ColdFusion CFMX 7 on Windows for a while, but internally she is using Macs and have been so frustrated with various Windows server related issues over the years that she wants to look into hosting the web site on a Mac.

I tried to load ColdFusion on of one her Macs (Intel Mac running OSX 10.6.4) in development mode with the built in web server, but after the install when I start coldfusion I get a failure error (I tried installing on a different mac - same OS - & got the same thing).

JavaVM: requested Java version ((null)) not available.

Here's the full text of the log file:

I'm wondering if maybe ColdFusion MX 7 isn't supported on Intel Macs or OSX 10.6.4?? Will a hot patch help? I couldn't find CF version / OS compatibility web site.. all they say is ColdFusion is compatible with Snow Leopard, but they don't say which version.

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

Not much of a MAC person myself however this support matrix might help:

Seeing your getting a few Java errors perhaps the JVM in CF7 1.4.2_09 is too early for MAC OS 10.6.4?

HTH, Carl.
