Installating CF 8 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Report · Apr 13, 2011

I just got a MacBook Pro and went about trying to setup CF 8 on it (using CF 8 to mimick production servers). I tried both the 32 and 64 bit installers and neither will run at all. I found this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/28725 . I did everything it says, the installers still won't run. And by won't run, I mean I double click and nothing happens. I'm suspecting it has something to do with Java, but not sure what to do to fix it. Any ideas?

Finally got this working. Here's the solution in case anybody else runs into this issue, taken from http://www.doyourself.org/windows-2/786-install-coldfusion-8-on-snow-leopard/

1. Open a Terminal
2. cd ColdFusion\ 8\ Installer.app
3. cd Contents/Resources/Java
4. java -cp ./IAClasses.zip:Execute.zip:installscript.zip:. com.zerog.ia.installer.Main
5. Follow the steps and I was able to finish setup and run CF8
