CF8 installation problems

Report · Mar 17, 2009

Will make this brief, and as much info as I can.
OS: CentOS5.2
APP Server: ColdFusion 8 Standard
WebServer: Apache 2

Basically ran the installer which seemed to work fine. After the config, it says to start CF which i did; see here.
======================================================================
ColdFusion 8 has been started.
ColdFusion 8 will write logs to /opt/coldfusion8/logs/cfserver.log
======================================================================
Cold Fusion is running see here;
ps aux |grep coldfusion
root 5111 0.0 0.0 1976 652 pts/1 S 10:21 0:00 /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/bin/coldfusion8 -jar jrun.jar -autorestart -start coldfusion
root 5113 2.0 14.8 863120 152164 pts/1 Sl 10:21 0:10 /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/bin/coldfusion8 -jar jrun.jar -start coldfusion

Yet it (apache) won't parse as the config never finished. If I force the cf-connector.sh script, I get the following;
Configuring the web server connector (Launched on the first run of the ColdFusion 8 start script)
Running apache connector wizard...
=======================================
There was an error while running the connector wizard
Connector installation was not successful
=======================================

the server.log and cfserver.log show nothing but successful start on the server.

Any help is really appreciated.

Figured this one. Looks like the apache_connector.sh didn't accept the changes I made on the initial setup so I manually updated and all finished.

When we installed ColdFusion 8 (Enterprise: Multi-home for us) on our
new Solaris 10 we had to manually compile and install the web server
connectors for Apache 2.

I followed the ApacheBuildInstructions.txt found inside wsconfig.jar.
Here is a link discussing a documentation error in that file.
