oi dcooper!! all his info....
oi CF-Talk,!! passed on from a mate: First, is there a ideal Linux installation (OS/version, web server/version, etc) for MX 6.1? Second, does 6.1 automatically provide an apache connector compiled with -DEAPI? If not, is there a good reason for this? Third, installation woes with the following: ColdFusion MX 6.0 Apache/1.3.27 Red-Hat/Linux 7.3 PostgreSQL 7.2.3 compat-libstdc++ 6.2-2.9.0.16 [any other packages that may be of interest?] Initial installation of update: # service coldfusionmx stop # service httpd stop (installer says to do this, but LiveDocs install notes say to leave the web server running--go figure) ... Choose the type of Macromedia ColdFusion MX installation you want to perform: Update ColdFusion MX to ColdFusion MX 6.1 What kind of installation do you want? Server configuration Where is ColdFusion MX currently installed? /opt/coldfusionmx Where is the CFIDE directory located? /var/www/html/CFIDE [this is the default for 6.0 installer, but 6.1 defaults to /opt/coldfusionmx/wwwroot/CFIDE] Enter the name of the runtime user that Macromedia ColdFusion MX has been configured to use. Apache [which is what 6.0 installer recommended, though 6.1 defaults to 'nobody'] ... No errors reported in Macromedia_ColdFusion_MX_install.log Started Cold Fusion (cd /opt/coldfusionmx/bin/ -> ./coldfusion start) Pulled up CF Administrator and logged in. ***No Configuration Wizard as stated in the LiveDocs ***Only the body and top frames loaded--no left menu. The body and top frames operated fine. Not knowing what was going on, I successfully hit a site on the server which ran fine (6.1 does compile blindingly fast) - database connection was good, all pages seemed fine. ***I tried to view another CF site on the server and got nothing... the browser just 'spun'. Not knowing what to do we re-installed 6.1 a couple times with the following variations: - used the 6.1 default CFIDE directory (/opt/coldfusionmx/wwwroot/CFIDE) instead of the old default (/var/www/html/CFIDE) - designated 'nobody' as the runtime user instead of 'apache' - un-installed MX altogether and installed 6.1 as a new server--not an upgrade--with all defaults, except runtime user, which we set to 'apache'. Got the Configuration Wizard login, but it just spun on the login submit. During one of our subsequent installations (don't recall which), we got very strange browser/server behavior: - The administrator and all sites could be viewed on one computer in Netscape 7.0, but not IE6, or Netscape 4.75. Then it stopped serving in Netscape as well. On another computer, IE6 could view the admin, but not all sites. We cleared caches & cookies--it doesn't make sense. ------------------------------------ Thursday, August 7, 2003, 9:05:24 AM, you wrote: dmcdmc> We'd love to help your friend get properly installed.
