Boy was I hoping I'd see you jump in here...I think this all boils down to me not really understanding how the whole .jar/unix/command line/paths thing actually works on a mac. I think I need to read something about this first before even trying to go any further. Any recommendations? I think it's not so much that I don't understand the command line unix portion, upon further reflection. It seems to be more of "I just don't really understand how jrun and the whole java install process works." Does that make sense? I'm reading as carefully as I can, but I'm really stuck right on number 8. I've done 1-7 perfectly (well, maybe not perfectly, I wanted to install cfmx...okay, lemme take that back...I double clicked the jar file and wanted to install it to my applications folder, which I *thought* was "Powerbook/Applications" but when I double clicked "Powerbook" I saw that it had actually created a folder on my root called "Powerbook" and installed the war files into an "applications" folder it had created there. So rather than going into "Applications" it's now in "Powerbook/Applications"...make sense? That was my first screwup.) and as a result, I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to do once I navigate to my "Applications/Jrun4/servers/default/CFIDE" directory in the terminal. So that was where I just didn't know what to do... I'm here: ------------------ If you haven't done so already, open a Terminal window (Applications/Utilities/Terminal), navigate to the cfusion directory, and use the jar utility to uncompress the cfusion.war file: cd jrun_root/jrun4/servers/servername/cfusion jar -xvf cfmx_install_directory/cfusion.war Note: In these instructions, replace jrun_root with the directory in which you installed JRun 4; for example, /Applications/jrun4. Replace servername with the name of the server to which you are deploying ColdFusion MX; for example, if you installed ColdFusion MX in the default JRun server, specify default. ------------------ and I can't successfully run the 'jar -xvf....' command. > No, you don't 'run' these files.

That's what page I'm reading, but it seems like it leaves out a step or two right at that 8th step...*sigh*. Do I just delete the "Powerbook/Applications" folder the jar file created on my root and just try again? How do I tell it to install into a CFMXJ2EE directory in my applications folder? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185902 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
