Hmm, not me. I get the oddest problems installing CFMX on gentoo. This is a recent build of gentoo, already has apache2 in /etc. So the install goes fine, but the script throws really odd errors: ps: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That's just an example. Every command in the script does that. So it's something odd in the script, cause all those commands work fine outside of the script - ps, ln, etc. CF does start fine with /opt/coldfusionmx/bin/cfusion -start default, so that is good. Am following your instructions aw well as I can, but I think I'll be rewriting that script because it fails work work even at all.

Okay, I've rewritten their script. Very little is different but it works fine. Anyway I thought i'd copy / paste it in for someone else.
