Well, it is finally all setup. I bought a new server two weeks ago and finally got around to configuring it this weekend. My goal was this: Install ColdFusion (on JRun) and setup multiple instances. I went with RHEL 4.0 as the OS b/c I am into avoiding the evil empire at all costs. Having never setup CF in a clustered enviroment before, I was walking on unfamiliar ground. I installed the proper JVM, JRun and ColdFusion. I configured httpd.conf like it was supposed to be configured and gave it a whirl. Nothing. Turns out that you have to be very careful with your virtual hosts setup. instead of: <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1> i used: <VirtualHost *:80> ...and it worked. I had originaly used the first entry to no avail. Now that it's all configured, I am coming to you in a M$ free enviroment! Linux server, Apple desktop. Pages, Keynote, & Mail instead of Office. Free at last, free at last....you get the point.
