Recently I posted about upgrading my Mac Book Pro to Snow Leopard and then getting my already installed ColdFusion 8 running again. I basically had to reconnect CF8 to Apache and reconfigure my Apache settings since the Snow Leopard upgrade wiped them out.

Many people had problems or could not even install CF8 on Snow Leopard. The installer didn't even run for many people.  Since then Adobe has released ColdFusion 9.  It's shiny and new and oh so fast.  So at last weeks Twin Cities CFUG (http://www.colderfusion.com) I uninstalled CF8 and installed CF9.

It was pretty straight forward with no issues other than me entering the wrong web root path (doh!).  I downloaded the OSX 64 bit version and ran the installer.

I chose to install the Developer Edition and I chose to use the J2EE installation method.  I also opted not to install the component to connect CF9 to OpenOffice.  I use OpenOffice all the time, but I absolutely refuse to install desktop software on production servers.  I don't plan to use any of those features.  Sorry Adobe, you're just going to have to find a better way to implement creation and reading of office documents.

That's all really. Enjoy ColdFusion 9 on Snow Leopard
