Tech Note: ColdFusion 9 Standard Serial Numbers Fail On Linux

Unpiczip -

The "Unpiczip" command was a cosmic trash compactor running in reverse. For eons, the universe had been compressing information to save space—entropy was just the ultimate file compression. And Arthur had just hit "Extract All."

One Tuesday, while scouring a mirrored server from a defunct university in Novosibirsk, he found it. A single file, 0 KB in size, named unpiczip.exe . Unpiczip

The room went silent. The Roman sword was gone. The extinct bird had vanished. The holographic map was a memory. Arthur sat in the dark, his heart hammering against his ribs. He reached out and touched his monitor; it was cold. The "Unpiczip" command was a cosmic trash compactor

    On the same note, there’s an issue I think with validating bulk serial numbers. We purchased 9 CF9 Std licenses which all failed during the install process (as per this note) but also through an error in the log file saying the serial is already in use on the network. I was told when we got them you only get 1 license and it’s valid 9 times, however, it’ may be a confusing error message for some.

    Thank you so much! I have been banging my head against the perverbial wall trying to get this installed. I opened a ticket on the support portal and that is completely worthless. This saved me quite a few headaches and a ton of time.

    I have been trying to get CF9 install on CentOS for weeks. It installs find under its own web server but I cannot seem to get the Apache connector to work. Anyone have a link to a good article about how to install the connectors manually?
