Okay, for those of you who have stared at segfaults in the Apache logs after installing the Coldfusion jrun module, I’ve figured it out.

You’ll want to download and install the 7.0.2 updater for Coldfusion MX7 found here.

Then make sure you install the Apache 2.2 Coldfusion Connector patch. You can find the Coldfusion KB article here.

If you’ve already tried to install the connector module, you’ll need to remove it.

/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/bin/wsconfig -uninstall

Running this command will remove all Coldfusion connector module configurations on that server. Now we’ll start getting things together to build the module instead of using the pre-compiled connector found in the wsconfig.jar file.

A couple of edits needed to be made to the Apache 2.2.4 libtool executable. You can download the edited file here. Unzip and install it to:

/usr/local/apache2/build

Make sure to chmod 755 the file.

You’ll also need the edited Coldfusion MX7 connector script found here. Unzip and install this file to:

/opt/coldfusionmx7/bin

Go ahead and run the connector script that you just installed. Make sure you already chmod 755 this file as well.

It’ll take a minute since it’s custom-building the connector for your apache binary. You’ll want to check the log under /opt/coldfusionmx7/ConnectorInstall0.txt if it comes up with any bugs.

That’s it. All that really should remain is starting Coldfusion and Apache.
