  • ColdFusion 11 – PDF Service prerequisites on Linux

    If you are planning to use PDF services on a Linux box with ColdFusion 11, you would need a set of packages to be preinstalled, and would also need to import a set of fonts onto your machine. Though this is called out specifically in the Adobe Live Cycle Documentation, I decided to post a set of out-of-the-box commands that get these prerequisites in place without hassles. These commands use the yum or apt-get package managers to install prerequisites and have been tested on RHEL 6+ and Ubuntu 13.10+.


    RedHat, and everything YUM powered,
    Execute the below commands from a terminal, or run it from a script file on an RHEL, or any machine with valid yum configurations.

    yum -y install glibc.i686 zlib.i686 libX11.i686 ia32-libs expat.i686 freetype.i686 nss-softokn.i686 libxcb.i686 libXau.i686 libXext.i686 libSM.i686 libXrandr.i686 libXrender.i686 libXinerama.i686
yum -y groupinstall "X Window System"
wget http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/font/ibm-type1/snapshot/font-ibm-type1-1.0.3.tar.gz
tar -zxvf font-ibm-type1-1.0.3.tar.gz
cd font-ibm-type1-1.0.3
mv * /usr/share/fonts/
cd ..
rm -rf font-ibm-type1-1.0.3
rm -rf font-ibm-type1-1.0.3.tar.gz



    Ubuntu
    Execute the below commands from a terminal, or run it from a script file on an Ubuntu with apt-get repositories configured. 

    #!/bin/sh

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

# Add dependencies for PDF
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

apt-get --assume-yes install glibc-2.*

apt-get --assume-yes install libxinerama1
apt-get --assume-yes install libxinerama1:i386
wget --no-check-certificate  https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/font/ibm-type1/snapshot/font-ibm-type1-1.0.3.tar.gz
tar -zxvf font-ibm-type1-1.0.3.tar.gz
cd font-ibm-type1-1.0.3
mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/
mv * /usr/share/fonts/
cd ..
rm -rf font-ibm-type1-1.0.3
rm -rf font-ibm-type1-1.0.3.tar.gz

rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*



    Hope this helps!

  • The fun in compiling Apache

    Quite contrary to the title, compiling Apache from source can be pretty frustrating at times, with trivial errors, compile options that are hard to remember, etc..

    Wrote a small piece of code to help you with this compilation. The script is tested on RHEL, definitely works on any Linux distro, and most likely just works out of the box on a Mac.

    The only thing that needs to be done manually, is to place the HTTPD, PCRE, APR, APR-UTIL archives in the same directory as the script, and execute! This was tested for Apache 2.4.9, which does not come with bundled APR, APR-UTIL libs. If you need compile an older distribution on Apache which has APR, APR-UTIL bundled, just comment out the “Extract APR” and “Extract APR-UTIL” code blocks.

    Have a look at the script at the BitBucket repository.
