Installing Coldfusion 8 on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn
I’ve been setting up a test installation for a ColdFusion application I’m supporting and dreading having to set up ColdFusion on Ubuntu. I had been planning to install ColdFusion 7 because the earlier 6.1 no longer worked after I upgraded Apache to version 2.2.3. I found instructions for installing ColdFusion 7 on Ubuntu, but in the comments on that blog someone had said that ColdFusion 8 installed on Ubuntu 7 without the need for any special steps.
So I downloaded the ColdFusion 8 Developer’s Edition for Linux and ran the installer. No trouble at all, and so far it appears to be working. Ubuntu is not an officially supported Linux for ColdFusion, but I suppose it has become popular enough that maybe someone decided to at least allow it to install on Ubuntu. In any case, thanks Adobe!

I just started using Ubuntu.
I downloaded ColdFusion for Linux, which mounted,”Coldfusion-8-lin.bin”
How do I run this?
I tried sudo ./Coldfusion-8-lin.bin
but I could not run the installer.
Am I doing something really wrong?
Thanks,
John

First make sure that the file is executable with
sudo chmod +x Coldfusion-8-lin.bin
then you should be able to run the installer.

Hi again,
Thanks:)
I was able to install CF 8 on Ubuntu, and I must say way better than windows! It is taking some time to get used to Linux, but really worth it:)
Thanks again,
John
