Re: [Cialug] ColdFusion on Linux


I'm currently running White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 with CFMX 6.1 and CFMX 7.0 running on it. I'm using Apache 2.0 with I've tried installing and running CF 5.0 and CFMX 6.X on many different linux distros, many without success. The biggest problem I often have with CFMX 6.1 is that the installer fails on some linux boxen. It can't generate the apache module correctly, so what I did in the past was take the created module from a successful install and then back it up and reuse it on the machines where the install failed. That seems to work fine. Another server I have running has Suse 9.1 on it with CF 5.0. I couldn't run 5.0 on Suse 9.2 because I don't think Suse 9.2 comes with apache 1.3X, which is a requirement for CF 5.0. Sure, you could compile your own... but it's just easier to pick a working distro out of the box. CF 5.0 used to run great on Red Hat 7.X, 8.X, and 9. CF 5 -> 7 also work on RHEL 3.0 ok from what I remember.

professional comes with JRUN which you can run CF on.  On ColdFusion MX you
had to use an older version of redhat Linux (7.x or so) in order to use the
Verity Engine.  I'm not sure what the case is with the new release but
assume you can run it on something more recent.

You may be interested in BlueDragon.  It is programmable in CFML, and a free
version is available, and it runs on Linux.

Right now I'm running CF on winders.

Are any of you running ColdFusion services on Linux? If so, what distro are you using, and what Java Application Server? Is tomcat good enough for small to medium sites?
