Ben-
The issue is basically what's called EAPI compliance. Mandrake 7
utilizes a special version of Apache that is "EAPI" versioned. What you have
to do is go into the /coldfusion/webserver/apache directory and read the
instuctions on Apache module recompilation. Now, the APXS utility for
compiling the modules needs to have the -DEAPI flag attached to it at
compilation time. Follow the directions for installing that new module now.
The problem lies around that the Specialized apache mandrake runs requires
that the modules be EAPI compliant, and when you type /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
start, you SHOULD be getting EAPI compliance errors from the Coldfusion
module/APACHE.
God places to start:
man apxs
and the documentation in the /coldfusion/webserver/apache directory.
Remember, the only supported linux version for coldfusion is Redhat 6.x
Also, by chance, you have another problem on your hands:

See the Symbol `__vt_9bad_alloc' errors? What you have here is a spcialized,
or different version of libstdc++.so library file that comes with
glibc/gcc/etc. Now, downgrading or changing the glibc version on linuxes is
not easy, fun, or well documented (if anyone has found a resources guiding
through this let me know) but the workaround I found was to copy the
libstdc++.so file from a redhat 6.2 system and overwrite the existing one,
you'll find that the errors go away and the coldfusion binaries run
correctly, however, you still have the apache module issues.
If you find out anything other than what i said, please feel free to let me
know, i am really interested in these type of things.
