This is an ugly one.  I think it is an Apache2 - ColdFusion 9 web server 
connector problem.

I have two Solaris Unix web servers.  Each of these servers have a dozen 
and a half Apache web sites each one connected to one of five ColdFusion 
instances.

All, but *TWO* of them are working properly.  We created two new Apache 
web sites and connected them to a new ColdFusion instance.  This worked 
fine on one of our boxes, the development one, but not on the other, 
production of course.

Whenever we try to request a cfm url from one of these sites on the 
production server we get a 500 Internal Server Error.  HTML pages serve 
up just fine, and the new instance's Administrator runs fine on its 8305 
port.  So both Apache and ColdFusion seem to be working independently, 
but they are not talking to each other.  All the other Apache sites 
connected to the other four ColdFusion instances also work properly.

This has led me to investigate the web server connectors.  They have 
always been tricky and problematic to set up on these boxes.  The built 
in tools have never worked for us on these boxes and we have always had 
to manually compile the connectors and configure the connections in the 
web sites..

But, as far as I can tell, all the connection setups are the same 
between working examples and these non-working sites.

Any insights into what else I should be checking and|or how web server 
connectors actually work (they have alwasy been mysterious black boxes 
to me) would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Ian
