Comment on Flu vaccine: to be or not to be by Kim Siever

I had the measles, chicken pox, and mumps naturally. I have had the flue several times. Same goes for my four siblings. None of us have had any lasting side effects of any of these diseases. I honestly see no reason for a healthy person to vaccinate against such diseases as these.

Just for posterity:

I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard and re-installed ColdFusion 8 from scratch. The only additional step to the ones listed above was that I created a symbolic link to the CFIDE directory in the web root:

1. cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
2. sudo ln -s /Applications/ColdFusion8/wwwroot/CFIDE/ CFIDE

You are a lifesaver! Ever since the upgrade I had been trying to get this to work, and eventually gave up and built a VMware instance of Ubuntu that I could run it on. That was killing my available memory, I’m so glad to have CF8 back on OS X.

I’ll do that tonight. I’m at work and away from my server. Thanks Jonathan.

Did you run the “apache_connector.sh” script first? (just notice I had a typo in that command, fixed it). It should create a wsconfig/1/ directory structure with the proper permissions.

1. The Admin was on port 9010 and worked great. But when I tried to bring up my own pages, it was pure unprocessed code with cfoutputs, etc.

2. In my set up, there isn’t a “1″ directory… mine looks like this:
/Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/lib/wsconfig.jar

As far as I can figure, it’s a permissions issue. The virtual mapping is there.

I’ll experiment a bit and see if I can figure it out.

That was a great piece of step-by-step instruction for a Mac newbie like me I’ve managed to installed CF8 on apache for my new Snow Leopard MBP. However, I wonder why all the images link appeared as broken in the CF Administrator screens. Checked all image links and the images are sitting well within the CFIDE/administrator folder – not a big concern but would look less irritating.
Cheers.

Hi Andy,

Unfortunately I don’t have acces to 10.6 server to be able to work through it. I have worked it on 10.5 server before though, it shouldn’t be too much trouble.

1. You said the CF Admin is working, but any other pages are coming back as code. Is that right, or did I mis-read it? Are you accessing the admin through a different port (8500) or just at /cfide/administrator?

2. The .so file is the one you downloaded. You need to copy it over into the “1″ directory (that file is the Apache connector)

I’ll try to help you through the rest of the install.

My scenario is slightly different. I’m on 10.6 Server and I desperately need to get CF 8 to work on it. Am willing to pay for help… really. When I get to step 10, terminal replies that no such file exists even though I can go there in the finder and see it. Is the .so file (the recompiled connector) supposed to be in the same directory as wsconfig or what is the functional thing that needs to happen in Step 11. I thought I’d successfullt done it at one point, but my CF pages keep coming up as code and unprocessed. The CF Administrator is working fine though. Thanks.
