Thanks for that, it works just like a charm. Tried it in a Debian VM and there’s no problem at all. I would recommend a ‘ln -s /opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion /etc/init.d’ instead of a ‘cp’, though.

I was very happy to have come across this posting on a Saturday evening.

I am using Ubuntu (Dapper) Linux as my host system and have VMware Workstation installed for Windows, etc.

I installed a fresh Debian (etch) net install (base system only) and then setup a new user (coldfusion) and installed apache2.

I used SSH (scp) to copy across the ColdFusion 8 installer to my home directory and then proceeded to install without any errors. Great!

I chose not to have the installer configure the connector since I prefer to do this manually.

Absolutely no errors whatsoever. I now have a fully working ColdFusion 8 development server running on Debian in a VMware instance which I can archive and deploy wherever I choose.

Many thanks Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

Please keep our planet safe!

i installed cf8 and it work great but it’s pointing to port 8500, how can i point it to port 80 so it will use apache2 /var/www as the default location of all .cfm?

or i juse need to edit the apache2.conf?
