Figures, my edition of CF8 gets corrupted on my server two days after CF9 launches so when I went to download a fresh copy, I can't find it. Does anyknow know where I can find a download for CF8?

    After a recent double crash (both my computer hard disk and my external backup drive), I was left with zero files. One of the installers I needed was CF8 - nowhere in the Adobe site, but I finally found it in this repository: http://www.gpickin.com/cfrepo/. Just point to View Files at the top of the page; you will find it there. HTH, Carlos.

    The link to the cf8 download is http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion8.

    Also, if you need cf7 like me, http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion7

    I needed 7 because both my 7 & 8 were upgrade vers' and were downloaded instead of receiving the CD.

    Won't make that mistake w/ 9.

    All,

    Please remember that: post CF 10 and CF 902 {minus Verity}, Complete Installer launch, Adobe will not provide any CF 8 and CF9 installers on site officially.

    The site will only provide the related Security and other Hotfixes.

    But, you can always reach out to the Technical Support at: cfsup@adobe.com, specify the Installer details and we will share the FTP details with you.

    Hope this helps.

    Rg,

    Spsb

    Just got a tweet from @ColdFusion and, apparently, the CF8 downloads will be back online tomorrow, Wednesday, October 21. Keep your eyes out, all those who still need CF8 installers!

    Just finished a phone call with Adobe's customer support.

    Apparently they're currently in the middle of a software upgrade and can't even enter new support cases into the system until Wednesday morning.

    By then it'll already be too late for the project I'm working on.

    Guess I'll have to find another way to get that 64bit Linux developer edition. Hopefully there's still a copy buried somewhere on one of the other file servers.

    Reminds me of the ludicrous stunt by T-Mobile which might cause all Sidekick customers to lose their data without an chance of recovery.

    Does anybody have a copy of CF8 for OS X in 32-bit? I'm in the same boat as a few others it seems, and am hoping someone can help me not get screwed by Adobe like this.

    This really has me in a bind also. I needed to uninstall CF 8 to change some drive letters thinking I could just download the server again and put in my serial number - no luck. I have looked all over. I really need to get this server back online. On the additional CF download page I se

    Additional ColdFusion 8 Server Installers

    but it doesn't list anything. I hope they post it soon. I don't have the disk here. It is in another state

    At the bottom of the ColdFusion 9 download page you click on the "Related ColdFusion downloads" link.  On this page, all the ColdFusion 8 downloads will be listed at the bottom under the ColdFusion 9 downloads.

    Somebody made a mistake.  I do it all the time.

    Thanks for the comments guys.  I too was suprised to find the links missing, and wondered if it might have been deliberate.  Silly of me, since that was not the policy with past releases.

    Now there doesn't appear to be anyway to get the CF9 trial installers. All the text on the page, like the listing of files, relate to CF9 but the downloads dropdowns are for CF8 now. This is the main page you get to when you click 'get trial' from the ColdFusion main page. I believe the downloads for CF8 should be on this page

    http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html

    under the CF 8 header. This page is accessible from the main download page when you click on 'get trial'.

    (the comment above I was replying to was edited: the URL I am refering to, where you can download CF8 now is http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion)
