If any ColdFusion MX wonks read this, I need help. I have a CFMX 7.0 install on Fedora Core 2 and keep getting errors. I think they’re related to some packet filtering problems, but don’t know how to fix it in FC2.
Here’s the summary: I finally got CFMX and Apache connected, properly, but any request for a .cfm file returns the CF default 404 page. This is true both for files I have uploaded or created and for the administrator pages. I can access other types of files (e.g., GIFs and JPGs) in the same directories, without problems.
A typical error entry in any of the CF logs might look like this, even though the file in question does exist:
08/05 16:51:40 Error [jrpp-18] - File not found: /testpage.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/testpage.cfm
I get errors in the Apache logs that look like this (all for one request):
[Fri Aug 05 01:04:37 2005] [notice] jrApache[22346: 57868] JRun unable to fetch clustered-servers < - [39], proxy busy
[Fri Aug 05 01:04:37 2005] [notice] jrApache[22346: 57868] Couldn't initialize from remote server, JRun server(s) probably down.
[Fri Aug 05 01:04:37 2005] [notice] jrApache[22346: 57868] JRun will not accept request. Check JRun web server configuration and JRun mappings on JRun server.
[Fri Aug 05 01:04:37 2005] [notice] jrApache[22346: 57868] JRun unable to fetch clustered-servers <- [39], proxy busy
[Fri Aug 05 01:04:37 2005] [notice] jrApache[22346: 57868] Couldn't initialize from remote server, JRun server(s) probably down.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
I finally found a solution at http://forum.sw-soft.com/showthread.php?threadid=16583 – I needed to use “apache” as the user under which CFMX runs. That seems kind of obvious, of course, but the blasted Macromedia docs made it sound like you don’t want to do that, for some reason…
