CF 8 & Leopard

[John Barrett]

Hi,
2 Questions:
Is installing CF 8 on Leopard about the same as with tiger?
My hard disk failed,and I will have install a new HD, with a new OS,and I figured I would install Leopard on my power book. Since it is still a power book,and not an Intel based Mac, everything should be the same?

It really sucks that the hard disk is fried and I lost all my data, along with all the software on my power book:( Today is the sadest day ever!
I am wondering is there a way to backup the wwwroot to my webhost(or an external HD) using ColdFusion? I know that CF has a schedule tag, but I have never used it. Would it be too much to back up my web apps this way? I am just blown away that I have lost everything!

Thanks so much,
John

Hi,

If you are going to install Leopard then get yourself an external hard drive
at the same time then use Time Machine to backup the data to the external
drive.

As for CF8 on Leopard there are a few hoops to jump through until Adobe
release the updater.

This blog entry might help:

As an alternative, you may want to consider using the J2EE version of CF. Download a copy of JBoss and install CF there. Steve Brownlee gives some very good directions in his blog, http://www.fusioncube.net/?p=94.

Hi John, I'm actually running CF8 on my Macbook Pro and my 12"
Powerbook, installing CF8 is the same on both notebooks and is really
similar on Leopard, with the exception of a few gotchas in Leopard. I
prefer to MAMP -http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp.html - to install a
separate instance of APACHE and MySQL (it's really as easy as dropping a
folder into your applications folder) more instructions here -
http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-mac/thread.cfm/threadid:1512 I
prefer this method as I'm not too keen on configuring web servers and
database settings just to get to what I prefer doing - programming
websites in coldfusion! The gotcha with Leopard is that you have to
manually start ColdFusion with every system start up. I created an
automator script to do this for me with a click of the mouse, I've been
testing Adobe's beta version of the next release of ColdFusion for
Leopard and it fixes this problem and actually runs faster than the
latest release, naturally. But for now, you shouldn't have any problem
getting it to work on Leopard. If you would like to use the MAMP way
just let me know I'd be more than happy to help.

Hi Lehi,
Thanks for your help:)

The MAMP sounds good! I hate php, but if this system as a whole makes the process this easy it is worthwhile.

The CF 8 on my powerbook(now dead) I could not get the apache configured, so I just used the build in web server, which was fine. I read the other post, and it seem pretty painless. However the link to your script is dead. I guess you made an applescript that did, "Sudo /applications/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion start " I will have to wait until I get my check to get the new hard drive & Leopard, but I am looking forward to coding CF on the Mac again real soon.

Thanks so much for your help,
John

Hi,
Thanks so much:) I read the blog, as well as some others about CF 8 and leopard.
I feel pretty good that I can get this up and running when I get my new hard drive in a few days.

Thanks again, and yep I will become a backup guy now. I can't believe that I lost everything! I looked into time machine,and that will serve my needs.

Thanks again,
John
