Make sure that on the last screen, when they ask you the name of your computer, you change it from your computer name to: 127.0.0.1 You can leave the default on just about everything. Run the installer, choose “developer” as the mode and make your choices. Select the developer edition, fill out any information they require and download the install files. Install Coldfusion 2018.ĭownload the latest version of Coldfusion 2018 from Adobe. To do this, you need to use the “connector” that Coldfusion provides. My goal was to install Coldfusion2018 and use it for sites that were stored in my /Sites folder.

With the latest release (10.14.4) these bugs were removed.

There have been some bugs in Mac OS X 10.14 (Mojave) that made it impossible to use Coldfusion outside of it’s root.

Primarily, we would rather access the site using a name like somesite.local. You could mimic multiple sites by creating subdirectories and access a site at localhost/somesite. This is essentially a single site configuration. The term Virtual Host refers to the practice of running more than one web site on a single machine.īy default, the Apache configuration on Mac OS X serves files from /Library/WebServer/Documents accessed by the name locahost. What are Virtual Hosts?įrom the Apache Virtual Host documentation: In the same amount of steps (two), you can adopt a more manageable configuration. Furthermore, Apache configurations often get reset when upgrading Mac OS X. To mountaindogmedia's point, this becomes difficult to manage.

Over the years, I have created many virtual hosts. You need to edit the Apache configuration to include this file and enable virtual hosts. In fact, this is the default configuration for many servers.īy default, the Apache Virtual Host configuration on Mac OS X is located in a single file: /etc/apache2/extra/nf. Indeed, mountaindogmedia, this is an easier way. I think it would be easier to manage host files and changes. Jason, have you tried a modified Include statement for virtual hosts to map a directory? So instead of /etc/apache2/extra/nf as indicated, one would use /etc/apache2/extra/vhosts/*.conf and then just create a nf for the first virtual host, and then add/edit/delete vhost files as needed.
