A legacy application I maintain uses Verity, and is being moved from a CF7 server to CF9. We do not have the approval to upgrade it to use Solr at this time.
My development environent is Snow Leopard. I have CF9 Developer Edition installed clean on it. The installation never gave me options for setting up Verity. So imagine my surprise when I find that Verity is not installed in my CF9.
After asking around some, I did some digging myself. I think there might be an issue with the OS X installer that could explain this.
I opened the Adobe_ColdFusion_9_InstallLog.log file, and searched for verity. I found this line:
"Install File: /Applications/ColdFusion9/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/verity.jar"
Looking in my /Applications/ColdFusion9/ directory, there is no WEB-INF/cfusion/lib directory. I found the verity.jar file in /Applications/ColdFusion9/lib/.
So putting this together, it looks like the installer is looking in the wrong place for this?
This brings me to two questions:
- How do I report this to Adobe?
- Can I manually install this verity.jar file? I have no experience in that arena, would need to be handheld through it.
Any help is appreciated.
May 8, 2010 at 8:30 PM I'm pretty sure Verity doesn't support OSX. I didn't find anywhere in the docs explicitly saying that, but the docs DO say "By default, the installer installs the Verity search server on the same computer as ColdFusion, unless you install ColdFusion on a computer that is running Mac OS X or AIX."
I didn't see any stand alone installer of Verity for OSX either
