Installing CF8 on Ubuntu

[Dave-195]

I can't seem to make this work.  I have a clean installation of Ubuntu Server 7.10, I installed apache2 and sun-java6-jre and I downloaded and ran Coldfusion-8-lin.bin but every time it gives me this:

Launching installer...

exec: 2481: /tmp/install.dir.7382/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found

I've tried to install it on Ubuntu Desktop as well with the same results.  What am I missing?  I've been Googling it but everything I've found starts out saying to run the bin file and says nothing about what needs to be done to get the system ready to run it.  Thanks for any advice!

If I were a betting man I would say you are trying to install 32 bit CF8 onto a 64 bit linux server.

You might want to just install the new ColdFusion 8.1 Release Candidate that has just posted on http://prerelease.adobe.com.  You will need to sign up to be part of the pre-release. But CF8.1 does have a 64 bit linux version. Ubuntu is still not an offically supported release, however. But, you could give it a try.

You should hit the casinos.  You were right and that fixed the problem.  I knew CF8 was available for x64 systems but I figured since I didn't see any downloads that expressly said x64 that the installer figured out what architecture it was being installed on.  Thanks!
