Applying coldfusion 8 Update 1 - coldfusion

I'm running ColdFusion 8 Enterprise Edition on RHEL 4 32bit. I tried applying the ColdFusion 8 Update 1 (8.0.1) but the installation fails with the error below. Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Installation Aborted
The installation of the Adobe ColdFusion 8.0.1 did not complete successfully.
Please make sure that the ColdFusion MX server has been shut down prior to
running the installer again.
All services related to coldfusion, webserver, jrun are stopped alerady.

I do not know about Red Hat but if you get this error on Windows then you need to stop all the JRun services to complete the update.
This article here has a section on starting a CF service on Linux http://www.aaronwest.net/blog/index.cfm/2011/2/7/Super-Guide-Installing-ColdFusion-9-on-CentOS-Linux I am pretty sure if you substitute start for stop in that command you might have some joy.

How do I go about installing ColdFusion 11 Trial on an Ubuntu 14.04?

I want to try changing my development environment from Windows 8 to Ubuntu so I would like to know if it is possible to install CF11 Trial on an Ubuntu? It will be my first time working with Linux. I already know how to install Postgre 9.3 and pgAdmin. I'm clueless with CF though. Can anyone help me?
Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 are supported with ColdFusion 11. Here is the list of supported environments. You can download CF11 here. For installation instructions, see: Installing the Server Configuration

Webserver not working on OSX Mavericks

I was running a webserver and also Coldfusion just fine until I upgraded to Mountain Lion, then it stopped working. I got it working again by turning everything back on that the upgrade disabled, but now I have upgraded to Mavericks nothing is working. I have followed all the steps in various web articles but it won't work. PHP is enabled, everything that was enabled before is set up, including virtual hosts, and all the folders are in the same place.
I get the error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1. [or localhost, or any of my virtual hosts]
I've gone over everything time after time and I can't figure out why it won't work. I have started, stopped, restarted the webserver numerous times, it is set to start on bootup too. I couldn't even complete the Coldfusion install because I couldn't load the administrator in a browser.
What could the problem be? Where should I look?
This is not a complete answer, but this should help get things started
Try using the command line start. It will probably be complaining about Java 7 not being installed. I recently needed to install Java 7 JDK (not JRE to get things running)
I know to get the rest of it running, I need to point ColdFusion at the proper JVM. You can find the JVM settings at /Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/jvm.xml. You should have some setting like
# VM configuration
#
# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM is used
# if not then it must be the path to the JRE itself
java.home=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
application.home=/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion
When you install Java 7, the JRE is at
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Backup, and edit the jvm.config file to
#
# VM configuration
#
# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM is used
# if not then it must be the path to the JRE itself
java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
# java.home=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
application.home=/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion
If all goes well, you should be able to start ColdFusion

Installing Java on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

Just saw this thread. ColdFusion 10 is now supported on OS X 10.9 Maverick with the release of CF10 Update 13.
This should work for you now.

Coldfusion 9.0.1 hotfix 4 Object Instantiation Exception. Class not found: coldfusion.security.ESAPIUtils

I updated my CF 9.0.1 server with CHF 4. I had upgraded Java to 7 just prior to that and couldn't restart the CF service. I find a lot of items on the problem but not a solution. Correction; the only solution is to back out the hotfix. I've verified that I did the hotfix according to instructions. All of the sites seem to work but I can't start CF Admin.

Can you install vmware server 2 on the Windows 8 preview?

Apologies if this has been asked already, searching the web reveals lots and lots of threads about installing the Win8 beta on VMware but not the other way around.
I am trying to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on a Windows 8 Preview machine. It appears to install correctly but I cannot then reach the web based homepage to configure virtual machines, i.e.
https://localhost:8333/ui/
gives the error that the "connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The website may be down or your network may not be properly configured".
Has anyone had any success running VMware Server 2.0.2 on Windows 8 Preview? If so were there any gotchas you needed to avoid?
I don't think it will ever be resolved. VMware Server was declared End Of Availability in January 2010; There will be no support for Windows 8.
Your best try would be trying launching the services in compatibility mode, but why would you do that? Why not use the much more advanced VMware Player or VMware Workstation products?
I've found a way to run it on Windows 8.
On my PC with a x64 version of Windows 8, when I installed VMware Server 2, I found there was a service called VMware Host Agent that cannot be run. When I opened the system Service Manager and clicked to launch this service, it gave me the error.
My solution is to create a service with the same command string and set it to start automatically by using the "sc create" command in cmd.exe. And it worked for me!
