a road bump in the road to getting CFMX installed on my Macbook Pro
I've been reading Simeon's blog, and followed the definitive guide, and bam road block.
When I attempt to compile the jrun connector i get the following error.
gcc -DDARWIN -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I../lib/expat-lite -g -Os -pipe-DHARD_SERVER_LIMIT=2048 -DEAPI -DSHARED_MODULE -I/usr/include/httpd -w-c mod_jrun.c
i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: mod_jrun.c: No such file or directory
i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: no input files
apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=1
I've reinstalled the apple dev tools, re traced my steps. Double checked that the file is present.
No love.

Thanks to Simeon I got past that and have compiles and modded the httpd.conf file. My latest road block is getting 500 errors for http://localhost/CFIDE/Administrator/ and unable to connect for http://127.0.0.1:8300/CFIDE/Administrator/
THe errors in my httpd log are

goto terminal window
enter chmod 755 /Applications/JRun4/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store
To check them, you can enter ls -l /Applications/JRun4/lib/wsconfig/1
both of the files listed need to be at least rw-r-r--
Already been there. Both are RW-R--R--
Not sure if it matters, but I imagine it does. i made sure both aren't .txt or .xml or anything after the .store and .properties
I have to ask, what is so different about getting CFMX to run on a mac pro? I have the powerbook, with CFMX running. The main reason why I have not got the macbook(I know it is suppose to better & faster), but I just hear about so many problems getting ColdFusion running. I am a newbie, and I guess I am just nervous about not getting CFMX on the macbook. I have to ask what is the point of having a laptop with CFMX!
It's not super tough, thanks to the work of others ;) like mark andrachek. It's just involved. Add to that my n00b-ness with command line, *nix compiler stuff and it was hard.
Once it's up and running, it's cake to maintain and the comfort level rises. I'm much more comfortable now, should I have to reformat or anything, getting it all worked out, Having chat transcripts helps too :)
Thanks for your advice:) Actually Sean Corfield was a huge help when I was installing CFMX on my powerbook, and I know if I posted troubles the wonderful developers in the CF community would help:) Thanks very much for your post, after reading this I feel more convenient, thanks:)
