[Cialug] ColdFusion on Linux

[Mike Staver]

I'm currently running White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 with CFMX 6.1 and 
CFMX 7.0 running on it. I'm using Apache 2.0 with  I've tried installing 
and running CF 5.0 and CFMX 6.X on many different linux distros, many 
without success.  The biggest problem I often have with CFMX 6.1 is that 
the installer fails on some linux boxen.  It can't generate the apache 
module correctly, so what I did in the past was take the created module 
from a successful install and then back it up and reuse it on the 
machines where the install failed.  That seems to work fine.  Another 
server I have running has Suse 9.1 on it with CF 5.0. I couldn't run 5.0 
on Suse 9.2 because I don't think Suse 9.2 comes with apache 1.3X, which 
is a requirement for CF 5.0. Sure, you could compile your own... but 
it's just easier to pick a working distro out of the box. CF 5.0 used to 
run great on Red Hat 7.X, 8.X, and 9.  CF 5 -> 7 also work on RHEL 3.0 
ok from what I remember.
