Coldfusion 9 on lion "StartupItems Insufficient Permissions"

[Guest]

Hi all,

i am trying to install coldfusion on clean install lion macbook air but i get this error not matter what i do...

Failed to create folder in Library/StartupItems as the user have insufficient Permissions...

There is no StartupItems folder in lion so i created it and i gave permissions to read & write but nothing changed...

Why i cant install coldfusion 9?

I would try running the installer from the terminal as root.

The issue is the CF installer uses the root user to add startup items. If you don't have the root user enabled or no password is set for it, it throws the error. Just open your terminal and type "sudo passwd root".

Hi,

Can you check permission to /Library/StartupItems by using getInfo or the ls -al command. If your user account has no write or execute permission, you can modify permission to the directory in the getInfo windows or with the chmod. When insalling ColdFusion if you choose to install the admin component for remote start/stop, you are required to specify a password for , new of course, for the component. This Component is used to remotely start/stop the server from applications such as Server Manager, Instance Manager in ColdFusion Administrator, or ColdFusion Builder.
