Installing Coldfusion on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy

Prior to edgy the CF installer worked fine - however some change (I don't know what) in the libc6 package means that the installer no longer works.

However, there is a quick workaround which involves commenting out all of the:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
from the cfusion_lin.bin install file.

To do this use the following command:

#make a backup in case you get it wrong
cp coldfusion.bin coldfusion.bin.bak

#Use sed and a regex to change it
cat coldfusion.bin.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > coldfusion.bin

#run the new installer
sudo ./coldfusion.bin

For what it's worth, I'd recommend always doing the multiserver install - as I've found it much more stable and reliable on linux - plus it lets you have multiple instances.

Also - I've had most success using the built in webserver for the CFadmin site and then manually creating the connector between apache and cfusion.

I found this solution here: Warning to early adopters Ubuntu Edgy Eft vs ColdFusion Installer
