can't get coldfusion 8 startup script to work on Ubuntu
I've successfully instlled CF8 on Ubuntu and now I'm tying to add a startup script to make it auto start whn the server is restarted.
I followed the instructions in Matt woodwards blog on this subject to the t, changing path/ file names where appropriate and have double and triple checked it.
When I list out the contents of the rc2.d folder I get the coldfusion links appearing red with three dots at the start of the path when all the other sym-links are in blue with two dots. (See attached screenshot) What does this mean? why doesn't the coldfusion server start on hardware re-boot? any ideas?
I deleted them and set them up again with your commands above and it now works, thanks
so what was the difference? Could it be that when I originally added the symlinks I had three dots instead of two?

Yes, that could be the reason. Only .. is treated as a special filename inside a directory, ... is a valid name for a directory therefore your symlink pointed to a non-existant directory.
