Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost

Question

I am a new CF admin and I am trying to upgrade my Apache.  I am following the instructions in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf364104-7fd9 .html but am getting an error.  Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost
I am running CF8 on Linux Suse and trying to  upgrade apache to version 2.2.22.  I am running apache on server-1 and ColdFuson on server-2.
I tried running the following on server1:
/data/jrun4/bin/wsconfig -server cf8-2 -ws Apache -bin /data/web3/apache-2.2.22-general-cf/bin/httpd -script /data/web3/apache-2.2.22-general-cf/bin/apachectl -dir /data/web3/apache-2.2.22-general-cf/conf -coldfusion -v
but got the error.
So then I tried installing apache on server-2 and running:
/data/cf8/bin/wsconfig -server cf8-2 -ws Apache -bin /data/web3/apache-2.2.22-general-cf/bin/httpd -script /data/web3/apache-2.2.22-general-cf/bin/apachectl -dir /data/web3/apache-2.2.22-general-cf/conf -coldfusion -v
I got the exact same error.
CF is definately up and running.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Kiran,
Yes, Coldfusion is running and I have root access. You need
to be root just to get the installer to run and to execute the
Apache connector to produce the error I pasted into my message. My
firewall is disabled, as is SELinux. I'm not sure how to "Write
small program to check socket creation..."
I'm reading through some of the tortured things Steven Erat
had to do to get CF7 running on FC6 here:

I suspect I'm running into one of these snags. I was just
wondering if anyone knew if RHEL5 was officially supported yet, or
more concisely, Apache 2.2?
