Re: CF8 on MacBook serving through Apache?

[Steve Betts-2]

Has anyone figured out how to make this work with the Apache server that's built-in to Leopard?  I think the connector is failing to install something correctly.  I say that because after trying the CF install several times, I still can't get the CF administrator to open.  Safari just downloads the .cfm file as index.cfm.class.  I may be able to fix it by tweaking the apache config but I'm just learning it (I'm moving to the mac and I've always used iis).

Also, if I don't use the built-in apache server for coldfusion, can I still use it for other things (I'm not sure what that may be but you never know what Apple may decide to use it for later).  The last thing I need is to have to go through all of this again at some point.

Check out:

I have yet to get Leopard(still running Tiger), but this blog post seems really detailed.

Also, about apache, I have a blog post that might help, feel free to ask question on my blog:

Steve,

Are you using a 64 bit machine? I am using a MacBook with the Core 2 Duo processor. I was able to get this to work by using the 64 connector. Adobe will have a new installer update fairly soon to take care of this, in the mean time check out this blog entry.

I was able to get CF8 working with these instructions.

David.
