Yesterday I installed Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on my MacBook Pro and Apache wouldn't talk to ColdFusion 8 any more!
I'm not Mac savvy enough to understand why, but it had something to do with paths. Symptoms were very confusing and caused many hours of head scratching. It wasn't starting Apache from it's application root folder. (I still have Apache 1.3 which came installed with OSX 10.4 hanging around the system). Something to do with my setup caused it not to load the httpd.conf file properly (and possibly envvars?)! It seemed to be loading it although I think it was loading other conf files first which I think caused it not to load the jrun module. I could still get to my virtual hosts, but just saw cfm files as plain text! This was my fix anyway. I changed my startup script from: sudo /apache2/bin/apachectl start to: cd /apache2/bin sudo ./apachectl start That fixed it. I would love to know the root cause. I understand that my fix explicitly starts Apache2 from it's application root and therefore it finds all its resources correctly. I don't understand what changed on my system. If anyone could help me solve what happened that would be great. The pain of losing several hours will be easier to bare if I actually learn something from it.
