Installation troubles.. cfm pages coming up blank.

[circuitfive]

The facts...

- brand new Fedora Core 5 installation
- Tomcat 5.5 installed and working (all sample apps work anyway)
- ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 installed as WAR in webapps directory

The problem...

- http://localhost:8080/cfusion/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm comes up blank
- non-cfm pages (like html, gif, etc.) work just fine
- coldfusion doesn't log any messages
- tomcat log says:

09/14 16:37:36 Error [http-8080-Processor23] - The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /opt/tomcat/webapps/cfusion/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm, line: 56

If anyone has seen this before or has an idea for how I might solve this issue, I'd appreciate the help.

Some more information for those kind souls that want to help...

In order to get to where I am now, I followed these instructions fairly closely:
http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/j2ee/cfmx7j2ee_tomcat_deploy.html

See code below for what I decided to put into my setenv.sh script for Tomcat.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Jay, if you turn on directory browsing by setting listings to true in web.xml (see below), can you get a directory listing of /cfusion ? If you follow the directory links to /cfusion/CFIDE/administrator/ can you click on index.cfm and get a successful result?

By the way, CFMX 7 is not supported to run on JDK 1.5. Use 1.4.2_9 to _12.

Steven, thanks for the help. You've given me enough information to get past this hurdle. In order to get it working I needed to use an older version of Tomcat (5.0.28). That way both Tomcat and ColdFusion can use the same JDK version (1.4.2_12).

It seems so obvious in hindsight, thanks again.
