   I too installed CF8 on Ubuntu, but when I load http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/ the page is full of symbols as if it where trying to read it but displays it encoded or something, is there a way to fix this issue?

   Can you post a screenshot somewhere? Can you pull up the default Apache page by just visiting http://127.0.0.1/ ??

   @Jim – You need to go to /opt/coldfusion8/bin then run this: sudo ./coldfusion start

   Is it possible to configure apache2 after you choice the build in web server(port 8300)?

   Thanks,
   John

   I’d probably reinstall. I had to run the installer twice because the first time I realized it was running on Apache 1. So I had to uninstall Apache, install Apache2 and then I re-ran the CF installer with no problems.

   Hi Jim,

   I’m looking at moving my development environment to Ubuntu from Windows (I already use Apache and MySQL etc).

   Are you running Ubuntu desktop or server? Can I just run desktop then install what I need?

   – Apache
   – MySQL
   – SMTP
   – etc

   Or do you think I’m better off going with ‘server’?

   Thanks for you time!

   Server typically doesn’t have any desktop components installed – so if you have another computer you can use for your day to day tasks – then server is the way to go. Otherwise there is nothing that prevents you from installing Apache, etc on the desktop…

   Jim ,
   to make the server conf a little easier but still have all the nifty gui goodies i typically install the server edition and then put a gui on by doing the following

   sudo apt-get update

   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

    I have tried repeatedly to install CF8 on ubuntu gutsy both as stand alone and with apache. The install goes fine but I keep getting 500 Null pointer errors. The two things I see repeadedly is a cannot find cluster manager instance (or something like that) and cannot open a security.properties file (which is there)

    any ideas?

    @Kebab – No idea? Is this a fresh install or an upgrade? Are you using Apache2? Did you download the correct installer?? Not sure why you would see anything regarding clusters???

    fresh install. I tried cf7 last night with the same result. I am wondering if it’s permissions problem. I created a cfusion user (when it asks for a default user to run the service). Not sure if I have to give it specific permissions or not.

    I am using apache2 but i also tried installing as a stand alone. yeah I am pretty sure its the correct installer. its the linux installer. and it installs fine (no error messages)

    one more thing… I am trying to install it on Ubuntu gutsy. Not sure if it has to be something like fedora or not.

    Kebab – I’m running ColdFusion on Gutsy w/no issues. I can’t remember when I installed ColdFusion if it was under the su account or using my normal one. I didn’t create a unique account just for ColdFusion.

    Something I ran into after a successful install of ColdFusion 8 is that letter spacing in PDFs was way too large. My documents L O O K E D like that, and the system didn’t respond to the letter-spacing style no matter what I tried. Nobody else on the net has reported this issue. Was it just me?

    Hi Jim,

    I have an apache set up on MacOS where I installed CF9 straight up using the default webroot and then I added a couple of apache alias to allow me to run other webroots (client projects, etc…) and this works fine for basic CF sites.

    This setup does seem to confuse CFBuilder in regard to introspecting CFCs and the like (i.e., only CFCs below the standard webroot show up) and I am also running into similar pathing issues resolving CFC paths such as ” (even though the relative path to the Logic subdir is good CF can’t resolve it).

    Found your post on Ubuntu and thought you might have some ideas on how to resolve these issues.

    Thanks.

    Bob

    Bob – not sure about your issue – I’m still working with CFEclipse… Have you tried the CFBuilder forums?
