I've just downloaded the free single IP CF Server for Mac OSX and am having
a few problems installing and am wondering if someone on the list has any
experience installing it?
Yeah, I run multiple copies on my PowerBook.
I've logged in as root and installed it although after installation a
dialogue box pops up and says that something about the file *.jar not being
found. Do I need to install Jrun first?
Yup. You need to install the developer edition JRun for Mac OS X first and then install the "Java" version of CF (labeled "Mac OS X"). The process is:
- install JRun4 (/Applications/JRun4)
- install CFMX6.1 (choose developer edition, choose WAR files, pick an install directory like /Users/{yourname}/Desktop/cf61)
- cd /Applications/JRun4/servers/default
- mkdir cfusion
- cd cfusion
- jar xvf {cfinstalldir}/cfusion.war
- jar xvf {cfinstalldir}/rds.war
- cd /Applications/JRun4/bin
- ./jrun start default
Then go to:
http://localhost:8100/cfusion/CFIDE/administrator/And walk through the install wizard.
IM me off-list if you are having problems - I've talked a number of folks through this process, including some completely non-technical designer types!

Also, can I use an Access database as my DSN?
Not easily, I believe. You can't run Access on Mac OS X so you'd have to connect to a remote PC and I don't know whether that can be done with Access. CFMX installs PointBase which is a simple Java database engine. You can also install MySQL (highly recommended) and use that with CF. If you're feeling very brave - and have plenty of memory - you can install Oracle 9iR2 (free developer edition for Mac!!) and use that.
