Hmmm. I only answered part of your question. The answer I gave should fix the 403 issue.
Are you sure cf is enabled? Also I had issues with this also and blogged about it here. http://www.trunkful.com/index.cfm/2009/8/30/ColdFusion-8-Server-on-Snow-Leopard I had linked to Geoff Bowers blog pig with very detailed instructions for getting coldfusion connected to apache on the Mac. However the link isn't working now. I'm really wishing I had copied those down right about now. BUT it looks like Mark Drew posted the same information here. http://www.markdrew.co.uk/blog/post.cfm/running-coldfusion-8-on-leopard Hope this helps Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. - Andrew Jackson On Dec 16, 2010, at 9:15 PM, Gerald Guido <gerald.gu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I have a nice shiny Mac Pro and CF9 and/or Apache is being difficult.
