Question

weird install problem on Mac 10.6 Server

Mac OS 10.6 Server, Apache2, ColdFusion Standard 9

I installed CF9 on top of the standard installs of 10.6 Server.  All went fine, except that it's not working.

The admin interface works perfectly but any other file called outside CFIDE returns the plain text "<cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>"

I added the mime type with the "AddHandler jrun-handler cfm" line in the httpd.conf, to no avail.

Any Ideas?

    I'm betting that you access the CF Admin using a port (like 8500), and that if you removed that, so as to access it via Apache, it would fail the same way.

    Did you choose, during installation, to have it configure Apache (whether one site or all), so that it hands CF requests to the CF engine? Have you viewed the settings in httpd.conf and see that it does look like it's setup that way?Have you tried running the "web server configuration tool", which can do what the installer would have done?

    Finally, have you looked at the Installing ColdFusion manual, as well as the Administering and Configuring manual? They're both available on the left nav bar at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Admin/index.html.

    Let us know if that helps.

    well it turns out that my test file created by the bundled TextEdit was indeed the problem.  I saved it as HTML but TextEdit actually transformed <cfoutput> into &lt;cfoutput&gt;  .  hence the unexpected response.
