ColdFusion 8 / Apache 2.2.3

I recently set up a new testing server using the latest debian etch release. During the setup, apache 2.2.3 has been installed as default webserver and to make ColdFusion 8 (and maybe 7) running with this release, the following steps are necessary:

• Install CF8 using the built-in webserver
  
• Open /etc/init.d/apache2 with vi
• Note the paths set by APACHE2 / APACHE2CTL
• Now execute the following command:

• /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws Apache -bin /usr/sbin/apache2 -script /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -dir /etc/apache2/ -v
• bin = APACHE2 variable
• script = APACHE2CTL variable
• Open the httpd.conf and add AddHandler jrun-handler .cfm .cfc .cfswf.jsp .jws to the last line (.cfm / .cfc might be missing). Found this solution here.

Done!
