Its very easy installing CF8 on a Mac. I use a Macbook for my personal work. Its very easy installing the multi-server version and also the J2EE version. Just follow the onscreen instructions for the multi-server install. If you want to go for the J2EE version its a little bit more effort, mainly due to tweaking Apache. I recommend using JBoss as your application server. Steve Brownlee has some great tutorials on installing Cf8 on Jboss, http://www.fusioncube.net/index.php/coldfusion-on-jboss-standalone-primer. Another good tutorial shows how to set up apache with Mod-proxy to talk with JBoss: http://www.fusioncube.net/index.php/coldfusion-on-jboss-with-apache-proxy hth, larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313678 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
