06.26.08Update on installing JRE 6 on CentOSLooking at my blog statistics shows that my post on "Installing the latest JRE 6 on CentOS" is one of the top positions. Also a lot of search engines referrals come to this post. Thus I would like to give a short update to the blog post, since some things have changed since then. Also CentOS has been updated to Version 5.2 in the meantime. The way I have done it with modifying the symbolic link in "/usr/bin/java/" still works, but it is not the recommended way to do it. Thus I follow here the path that the CentOS project has outlined. ...

06.21.07Installation of ColdFusion 8 Beta on RedHat/CentOS 5Today we installed ColdFusion 8 Beta (get it now on labs.adobe.com) on RedHat/CentOS 5 (within VMWare Fusion 4 Beta) and run into some troubles. The problem was that the installer did not configure the connector to Apache 2.2.x correctly and when you tried to log on to the CF Administration you did not get the expected welcome screen. The solution to this is to run the Apache Connector again, but with some modification. Go into the ColdFusion installation directory (/opt/coldfusion8) and then to the "connectors" directory. Open up the file "apache_connector.sh" and set the paths to your apache installation correct. Install the httpd-devel ...

So far so good, but what I have seen in my latest installation is that ...
