I have had a few people ping me on IM telling me that they had some problems running ColdFusion 8 on Leopard. Well, I havent had any problems but then again, I might have a slightly different setup than most (or maybe not!)
How I installed it was as follows:
- Run the installer, and select Multiserver
- Do all the settings as you want, I installed it into Applications/JRun4
- Once it has installed, it wont be able to go the web based configuration tool as it seems the server hasnt actually started, so, open up Terminal (Utilities/Terminal)
- Type sudo /Applications/JRun4/bin/jrun -start cfusion
- Coldfusion should start, but it isnt properly configured so go to: http://localhost/cfide/administrator/index.cfm (note the index.cfm, apache isnt configured to serve index.cfm as a default file yet)
- Once you have gone through the process, open up /etc/apache2/httpd.config and look for the line : DirectoryIndex index.html and change it to DirectoryIndex index.cfm index.html
- Restart apache by opening another Terminal window and type: sudo apachectl restart
That should be it. That is how I configured it (I then split it out into a couple of virtual hosts with different versions of CF running, but that is another story)
I hope this helps!
EDIT: I have tried this with a fresh download and it all seemed to go well, apart from the final screen where it tells me that the webserver couldn’t be restarted, but that is what happened before.
