BlueDragon 6.1
I've been using CFMX for development for some time. Macromedia allows folks to install a fully functional copy of ColdFusion MX for free, but it will work with only a single IP address unless you restart the service.
I have decided to give BlueDragon 6.1 a try. I'm doing the install right now on my server.
Get the download BlueDragon_Server_61-Linux.sh
I launched a Terminal session window (i.e., a command-line window)
chmod a+x BlueDragon_Server_61-Linux.sh
./BlueDragon_Server_61-Linux.sh
and the GUI installer launches, just like it would in Windows.
I went with all the defaults.
It didn't detect my Apache install, but then, I'm not so sure Apache is running. The installers says I can add in webservers afterwards anyway, so it's no big deal.
And by the time I flip back to this page, ba-boom, the installer is done! Nice.
Well, that's nice, but connecting is another thing.
I'm trying to hit http://localhost:8080/bluedragon and am getting "connection refused." Ugh.
Hm. I didn't have Apache started. I start Apache. No dice. I restart BlueDragon. no dice.
I restart the server. Apache and BlueDragon are running. Still no dice.
Fine. I uninstall Blue Dragon (go into the uninstall dir, chmod a+x the bluedragonblahblah.. whatever the name is file, and run it)
And, with that done, I re-install BlueDragon.
The installer still does not detect Apache. Whatever.
This time, however, things work. I visit http://127.0.0.1/bluedragon and after a moment, there is the admin login screen. Nice.
