One of my goals is to get ColdFusion installed on Ubuntu. Searching on MXNA I found a few good links which I’m going to post here for reference:
- Flex 2 and Flash 9 on Ubuntu
- How to install ANYTHING on Ubuntu
- CFMX 7 and Apache on Ubuntu
- CFEclipse on Ubuntu
- Oracle for Linux
I have done this now on several times and can pretty much confirm that it works just fine.
I am running the J2EE (Multiserver Configuration) setup on Ubuntu Server (Dapper) which has been turned into a developer workstation running Gnome deskop, Eclispe WTP, etc.
No issues as yet and stable like you would not believe.
Tied in with Apache it really is the best way to develop web applications with ColdFusion, considering most good things will eventually be served on production Linux boxes, it makes sense to develop on the same too.
