How to install Xlibs
« on: May 31, 2007, 02:27:56 PM »
I install ColdFusion Server 7 on SME Server 7.1. The installation is ok, but ColdFusion not running well because there is a problem with "Graphing service". It could not start. The reason of problem is X libraries that I do not have at my system yet.

How to install X lib without Internet connection? I have CentOS 4.4 CDs.

It is not advised to install X on a SME Server as this poses new security risks to SME Server. The designers left X out intentionallly as this is normally not needed.

If you have no access to the internet I suggest you try and figure out what RPM's are needed, using for instance RPMfind.net and then download them, burn them to a CD or store them on a USB drive and issue a yum localinstall command. Perhaps all libraries you need are already on the CentOS CD's.

Adobe say that, if ColdFusion MX 7.x Graphing service does not start on Red Hat Linux, it  need Linux packagexorg-x11-deprecated-libs. For RedHat Linux, rpm file for this package is "xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-23.EL.rpm."  Then, what is the rpm file name for SME Server?

I have found a slightly different version (6.8.2-1) for you here.

Download it to your machine and try a
Code: [Select]
yum localinstall /path/to/rpm
