very last time RH5/cf8

Report · Apr 10, 2008

Ok, if I cant get it working now then I will be abandoning every single cf app, and switching to something else. Just for principal. First, I have been trying to get CF8 to work on RH4 ever since beta, no luck. Fine. I switched to RH5 and it still does not work. All security has been disabled. After trying to run the connector, this is what I get:

Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost.
Possible causes:
o Server not running
-Start Macromedia JRun4 or ColdFusion 8 server
o Server running
-JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or firewall
on server
-host restriction in security.properties blocking communication with server

1. Do you have Apache up and running by itself already?
2. Do you have a user account created specifically for ColdFusion server to use?
3. Did you give the installer the correct path to your Apache installation?
4. Are you installing CF 8 Standard or Enterprise?

I currently have CF 8 installed on ubuntu 7.10 and had no problems. I've installed CF 6 and 7 on Red Hat ES 2 and 3 without a problem, but I deployed them as EAR files on JBoss. I've also had CF 4.5 and 5 installed on Fedora and CentOS with few problems.

The only problem I can recall running into was installing CF 5 on CentOS 3.x. A port that CF wanted to use was already in use by JNDI. We just told JNDI to use a different port and CF started working just fine.

Have you called the Adobe support line for this? This forum is not an official support outlet.

I just installed CF 8.0.1 on CentOS 5, absolutely no problems or difficulty. It just worked.

Step by step, from a clean Red Hat 5 install, what are you doing?

Is the firewall active and blocking any connections to 127.0.0.1?

Do you have SELinux active?
