Installing CF8 on Unix

[Guest]

I have installed CF8 on my Fedora Unix server and am having trouble 

getting it connected to Apache.

I can access the administrator using

http://[my ip]:8500/cfide/administrator

Even though coldfusion is successfully installed, the problem persists.

Any ideas?

What about if you use http://[my ip]:8500/CFIDE/administrator ?  IE: CFIDE instead of cfide.  The dir is actually CFIDE... usualy the installer makes a symlink to it as cfide as well, but I have seen this go AWOL sometimes.

Ok we have coldfusion installed on our Fedora Code server. The problem is that coldfusion will not connect to APACHE. I am

supposed to use the wsconfig command to create a connection to apache however it gives me a cannot connector to server error.

The command I used to TRY and install the connector is as follows:

./wsconfig -server apache -ws Apache -dir /etc/httpd/conf -bin /usr/sbin/httpd -script /usr/sbin/apachectl -coldfusion -v

From the above you can see my apache dir, bin and script files. Still a no go.... please help! How can I get this connection to work?

FYI:

[root@warne-brothers sbin]# netstat -antp | grep "coldfusion8"

Toadsteraz,

Can you please check and print the contents of your /etc/hosts file here?

It should have an entry like,

[(Your_IP_Address) (Host_Name) (Alias)]

For eg.,

127.0.0.1 MyPC localhost

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

208.115.34.75 warne-brothers.com warne-brothers

Thanks Toadsteraz.

Now just comment the first line of it, and add another entry of it (with a slight modification).

It should look like this,

#127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

208.115.34.75 warne-brothers.com warne-brothers

After saving the file, just restart the ColdFusion service.

Then try executing the apache connector script (apache_connector.sh).

Once the connector installation is done, just restart the httpd service.
