Thank you for your advice. Right here its just gone 4am Saturday. I started updating my server at 9pm Friday. All previous installations of CF have been a 10 minute job. This time it's been hours.
There is no one at Macromedia to ask at 4am on Saturdays. My servers are broken and I have a deadline that is now looking pretty dubious and I want to get to bed sometime before dawn. All I was doing was following the instructions in the docs that so many people have referred me to. I am sorry I yelled, but I am not such an amateur that I would load totally new software on a production server. Thanks for your suggestion that I put a logical gameplan together. I started asking the question on this list when I realized that I had exhausted all the options in knew about. I thought perhaps some of you who had been through this before might help me. All anyone seems to want to do is either criticize me or tell me to RTFM. I'VE READ THE (*&*&^ MANUAL! IT DOESN'T HELP! The manual got me into this damn mess because it told me I could have both servers on the one system. So what exactly would your logical game plan be?

Mike, yelling and having a bitter tone in your posts does not help the situation. calm down, and get a logical gameplan together. you seem to be too worked up for a friday :-) -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 11:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Installation problem with MX - HELP!! HEY!!! THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTION SERVER! ITS MY DEV SERVER! And I have been saying for about 10 posts now, I am following the goddamn release notes on the MM server (why they aren't sent with the download is a question I would like to know) but the installation falls over at step 7 of 11. Nothing helps me as to what to do next.

That should get you back up and running fairly quickly. You really should have tried this on a non-productions system before you hit your live server with it. A friend of mine is currently writing up some distructions for installing CFMX on XP Home with Apache, but the rules are the same for most operating systems. When its written I'll let you know where you can find it...
