ColdFusion 9 on Snow Leopard
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

So when you say you installed in the wrong web root path, what was the wrong one and what is the right one.
I have 10.6 server and when I put it in the default location "webserver > Documents" , I've had no luck getting the CF admin to come up.

I've been trying to successfully connect the standard apache install in 10.6 Server to CF 9. Did you have any trouble doing this?

@Tim: Yes, I've been able to connect to ColdFusion 9 Apache. In my post of reconnect CF* to Apache after upgrading to Snow Leopard [http://www.trunkful.com/index.cfm/2009/8/30/ColdFu...] I posted a link to [http://blog.daemon.com.au/go/blog-post/how-to-inst...] which gives the exact steps for connecting to Apache. I think that is what I did for CF9 also.
