Ok so this post is a bit late as I saw it in my drafts, but better late than never. I did these even before I wrote the PostGres8.3/Postgis/pgRouting post.

  1. Apache
    reference: http://httpd.apache.org/

./configure –prefix=/usr/local/apache2 –with-m2m=prefork
make
sudo make install

– To start on boot, download apache2startup.tar.gz and extract to your /Library/StartupItems/

  1. ColdFusion
    – run the installer as you would normally do in any windows/linux installation. I would suggest you put your installation in /opt and not ~ (home) because Leopard might wipe it out when upgrading to a higher OS version.
    – should automatically start on boot
    – bind coldfusion to apache

– Just in case you need to start it on boot, download coldfusion8Startup.tar.gz

  1. Installing mod_python on Apache
    $ ./configure –with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
