ColdFusion 7.x Installation - CFX/C++ tags

[sdhoigt]

I'm having one issue with the ColdFusion 7.x Installation on Debian (http://www.howtoforge.com/coldfusion_installation_debian_sarge) tutorial. I cannot register any cfx/C++ tags, and I'm pretty sure it's related to the installation step warning that it cannot find: compat-libstdc++

I did install libstdc++6 libstdc++5 libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 as per the instructions, but I think we still need to install the compat(ibility) libtdc++ file for Debian.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks for reading,

I'm using coldfusion on my Debian Sarge server, and I have the same problem.. I've installed about every needed file on a test server (also running Debian), and never managed to get the register any cfx/C++ tags to work.

As I'm not really in need (for now) to run any cfx/C++ tags I gave up on trying...

I DID manage to get it to work on a Fedora RC4 system.

Okay, I've done some more testing and I have got it to work on Debain and my Coldfusion MX7.02 server :-)

compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm is all extra that is needed.

To install this library on Debian: download the rpm, convert it to a debian package and install.

Use alien to convert the package.

Install alien: apt-get install alien

Download the compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm file: wget ftp://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/pub/linux/fedoralegacy/fedora/1/os/i386/compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm

convert the .rpm: alien compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm

install the .deb file: dpkg -i compat-libstdc++_7.3-3.96_i386.deb

With a bit of luck (it does work on my VMware system) you are now able to register C++ CFX tags with Coldfusion MX7

Well, that did allow me to register an extension (a simple HelloWorld.so).

Did you have any luck past that? The ColdFusion application server crashes/restarts when I try to call this cfx tag in a script. I think I'll try this with another distro that's closer to the oficial support list and see what happens.

Thanks for spending some time on this w/me.
