ColdFusion MX on Mac OS X

What's siginificant about this release? Well, they simultaneously released Macromedia ColdFusion MX for J2EE Application Servers to go with it! It may not be a stand-alone edition of ColdFusion MX, but this is still a dream item for any ColdFusion developer with a Mac at home. It took me about 30 minutes to install on my iBook 600 (I messed up a few times since it requires a little terminal work) but once I got it up and running it just worked. All I've had time to do so far is create a variable and output 'Hello World', but so far so good."

  1. With Tomcat? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Informative

    Are you using it with Tomcat or JRun?

    I've been using CF on OS X for a while now, thanks to the oreillynet.com guide to installing it. Runs great!

    However, it would be nice to use Tomcat since I could change the port to 80 instead of having port 8080 cluttering up my development URLs.

    For those thinking about installing, here are the instructions:
