Hi,

I have Coldfusion development server and Apache running on my local host. CF is on port 8500 and Apache is running on port 80.

On my remote host in plesk I can add support for Coldfusion and PHP, is there a way to run PHP files on localhost:8500?

Thanks

    Sweet. I run this setup on Mac 10.5.7 and it's great (PHP & CFML on port 80, that is).

    The easiest solution is to reinstall CF as a multi-server and run the connectors for Apache. The most recent CF (8.0.1) Mac installer is 'built' for Leopard, so it works well.

    Hulfy,

    Is there a reason not to have CF run on port 80 with Apache? What kind of dev box do you use ('nix, Win)? I have some good links to setting CF to run on 80 for /nix systems if interested.

    No reason it was just the default.

    I am on OSX version 10.5.5

    Send the links.

    Many thanks
