So, I'm into night 3 of trying to get BlueDragon working with Apache on Ubuntu 6.10.  Tonights task was trying to get the web server adapter on BlueDragon Server 7.0 to work with Apache 2.055.  The built in web server works fine, but I can't figure out how to get apache to work.  I've got a simple index.cfm document that will not display at all. Actually no coldfusion pages will display. All I get in my browser is a blank screen.

 I'm no Linux expert by any means so bear with me here. I followed the directions layed out by Adam Howitt his blog as well as the article on we3Geeks for setting up the symbolic links to Apache2.  Basically it says to do this:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/apache/bin

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/apache/conf

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf



sudo ln -s /var/www /usr/local/apache/htdocs

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/apache2/modules /usr/local/apache/modules

sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd

So that's what I did.  I'm guessing the location of apache2 is correct as I browsed to the locations and verified there were files and folders in them.  I'm not sure which files should be there as the article doesn't say.  

Adam howitt's blog lists the same commands and his versions are a bit closer to mine.

 I've verified within BlueDragon Administror that the port 9999 is setup and in the servletexec.conf file the port is set to 9999 as well. So, I'm stuck at this point.  So, any help you could lend would be greatly appreciated. I'm probably not giving you nearly enough information, so if you need more please ask.

Thanks and I'll talk to you later,

Mark
