CF 7.02 + Apache 2.2 on Windows XP Pro

Posted on June 22, 2008 at 1:39 AM in General, ColdFusion

Okay, I admit it. I'm a WinDoze guy. I even have the property patch. Well, kinda. When it comes to me being the server administrator, it has to be WinDoze. Sorry boys and girls, but I don't come from a network background, or even a programming background, so I like point-and-click. I'm comfy in that realm. Start talking shells and all of those other "big words" that pertain to *nix, and I'm lost. That said, I am looking to justify the expense for my first MacBook Pro and/or iMac - but we'll save that for another time and post.

Last night I suddenly realized that I *really* needed to either (a) upgrade my development machine to WinDoze Server, (b) purchase some sort of add-on software, or (c) load Apache. Since Apache is free, I opted for (c). Here is a (somewhat) quickie overview of why I needed to make a move, a couple of links that I followed to get it done, and a couple of "gotcha" notes.

Last year I made the same switch, for the same reasons, and I love a) using Apache now on my Development boxes and b) my MacBook Pro.

FYI -- check out VM Ware Fusion. It should let you run your Windows software on your MacBook Pro without requiring a dual-boot. I've been running it for about 6 months now, and it's proven to be worth every penny (around $70 US).

hth :)

XAMPP is your friend.

It even has a Apache Tomcat plug in for running CF Enterprise, Railo and OpenBD.
