Can't install Coldfusion on Ubuntu

[lad]

Hi everybody,

I tried to follow the howto guide on install Coldfusion on Debian, but when I try to do it on Ubuntu, it didn't work. I tried looking at the error log (attached) but not sure how to fix them. Any help would be appreciated!

Expand Archive: /tmp/8319.tmp/ant_bin_dir.zip
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - Problems occured with the expander of Z_/installers/CustomCode/includes/ant_bin_dir.zip's type.It said: error in opening zip file

forgot to attach the log file

Why does it say

Pre-Installation Check: The installer was unable to determine if the C++ compatibility pack is installed by running the following command: rpm --query compat-libstdc++
when you're on a system that doesn't use rpm?

I'm guessing because the bin file was make for RedHat and Macromedia (Adobe) doesn't officially support Debian distro, but the guide also mentions that that error isn't important for base installation.

Is zip installed? What's the output of which zip?

Yup, both zip and unzip are available, output of the command above is:
/usr/bin/zip

Still need help, anybody?

I know this thead is a couple of months old, but if anyone else comes across it looking for help in the future, I wrote a guide to installing ColdFusion MX 7 on Ubuntu 6.06 a couple months ago on my blog. Hopefully this can help someone else. :)

Is not really a problem, exept if you want to use CFX/C++ tags

Do you als have the install problem with the last version of Coldfusion (7.0.2)?
