Terminal stopped working normally.

Before I start, I must say I don't have a clue how the terminal works, so forgive me.
I've been using it to start my installation of Coldfusion 8, without any problems.
However, today I entered my usual:
sudo /Applications/Coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion start &
Which has always worked before.
This time, is asked me for a password, which it hasn't before, but I entered it anyway, and all I get is 'Command not found' and that it had been stopped.
All the lines have the prefix of xp:~, which I'm sure it didn't before.
I hope someone can help as I'm at the end of my tether and am desperate to test my websites.
UPDATE: I quit terminal and started it again. When it starts I get no prompt at all, just a grey box. When I type in the start Coldfusion command and press enter, it just sits there, not doing anything.

You always have to enter an admin password when using the sudo command in Terminal (it's good for five minutes). The *command not found* message indicates that coldfusion isn't in that bin folder. Finally, you'll probably get a more cogent response posting to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies.

  • Ever seen the error "ialmrnt5 display driver has stopped working normally"?

    Have a user who hasn't used E-test in about a year. He has version 8.01.0249 with IE 7.0 and is getting an error running a script: "Windows display driver stopped responding. The ialmrnt5 display driver has stopped working normally . . . .".
    On a different machine with E-test 7.0 with IE 7.0, the same script works fine.
    Should I have him upgrade to version 8.20.0526? Also, assuming I upgrade his version, why does the same script work with E-test 7.0?
    THANKS!

    Hi,
    It would be better to upgrade to version 8.20.0526. Prior to eTest Suite 8.20.x there was no support for IE 7. There were some cases where eTest Suite would work with IE 7, but it was not consistent since the product did not has IE 7 contemplated in the design. That can explain why it works with e-Test Suite 7.0.
    Additionally in 8.20.526 there are several additional features that makes the tasks easier, and there are several bug corrections that can save you time when troubleshooting scripts.
    If you are planning to use eTester for Load testing scripts I would recommend moving to 8.20.0569, which has additional bug fixes that can save you a call to support.
    You may want to contact your Empirix Sales Rep in order to know if your license would work with the latest version of e-Test Suite or just install it and try the license.
    Once you install e-Test Suite 8.20 make a quick test to see if it works with your web application, then, consider the alternative of upgrading all the other computers that will have eTest Suite. It's better to work in a consistent environment where everybody has the same version because you will ensure compatibility of scripts and configuration settings, it will be easier to maintain your environment, and it will be easier to troubleshoot computer problems since you should all have the same configuration.
    e-Test Suite 7.0 may not be supported since it's older than two releases than the current one, even if the script work with e-Test Suite 7.0 I would look for the upgrade.

  • HD 5770 HAWK: ati2dvag display driver has stopped working normally

    I keep crashing to desktop with an error dialog "ati2dvag display driver has stopped working normally" while playing Trackmania United. The crash is into a 640x480 4-bit color desktop from 1920x1080 32-bit.  I updated to latest drivers for the video card and bios, and I am not maxing out my card when playing this game, it is fairly average.  I don't get this error playing other games on higher settings.  This behavior is fairly consistent.  Additionally in TMU I keep having saturation and contrast flactuations: saturation loops between highly saturated to barely saturated and then repeates over about 30sec-1min.  The looping is very smooth.  Any help in resolving this issue is appreciated.  Thanks

    Well, any window I have open on the desktop, iTunes, Firefox, IE, etc when I move that window around, or if I resize it, the content inside that application window is repainted very sluggishly.  I would say it takes about 1/8 to 1/4 of a second to redraw.  With iTunes I can see the repaint take maybe 1/2 second from top to bottom.
    This happens at any time I am in the desktop.
    That sounds like there's something not right with the graphics drivers.
    Also, check your monitor refresh rate is set right.
    How about testing with some older drivers to see if there's any change. Either use the ones from the CD that came with the graphics card or use the ones in this >>link.<<
    A useful utility to remove old parts of drivers is Driver Cleaner Pro. You might want to give it a go if you choose to try other drivers. Available >>here.<<

  • TS3274 After installing iOS 7 camera stopped working normally. I can't take pictures with the back camera only the front camera. All was good before the update. Please fix this bug.

    After installing iOS 7 camera stopped working normally. I can't take pictures with the back camera only the front camera. All was good before the update. Please fix this bug.

    Hi Midnightbrat,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone:  I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
    Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • [SOLVED] Terminator stopped working Unable to start shell:/bin/bash

    Hello,
    I just wanted to share as I didn't found anything about it,
    Since yesterday I can't launch my favorite terminal emulator which is terminator, it gives me :
    Unable to start shell:/bin/bash
    displayed in terminator window where I'm supposed to type commands.
    What is strange is that I can launch /bin/bash in tty's plus I installed xterm temporarily which works fine with bash.
    One more thing is that if I close terminator window it closes my graphical session !
    Any idea to troubleshoot this ?

  • Backspace Key stopped working normally on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    I was able to use my backspace/return key totally fine by just pressing it and it would go back a space. One day i start my laptop up and i am not able to go back anymore, absolutely nothing happens when i press my backspace key, i now have to press fn+backspace in order to use the normal backspace option of deleting one letter or several letters that i have just typed. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue as the backpace is now fn+backspace, how do i get it to go back to normal as it is tres annoying to press two keys for this? Any help is much appreciated.

    Create another user account on the computer and see if it behaves the same way. If it does then it's probably a hardware issue, if it doesn't then it's software and most likely a setting that has changed.

  • Indesign CC Stopped Working Normally

    In the middle of building an advertisement the program started acting very funny. I can no longer drag and frop images into the file. When I drag it in it shows the image but it will no let me place it. In addition I can no longer highlght text using the text tool. It will allow me to place my cursor in the text box and delete or add text but I cannot highlight. If I try to expand the size of a box it expands the size of its contents as well. I have no idea what I may have selected to get this to happen. Anyone have any ideas on what may have caused this and how I can set it back?

    Try making a new file and see if the same thing happens.
    If it happens in another file, I would start by restoring your preferences. Here are some instructions how to do that:

  • Older accessories work w/ iphone 3GS, then stop working?

    So about a month ago the office moved from samsung smartphones to the iPhone 3Gs. sweet.
    When I first got it, I did some testing with the existing ipod accessories I have - a sony radio/alarm clock, and the headunit adapter I have for my mazda.
    The alarm clock worked fine with the exception of the "airplane mode warning" and the car adapter worked similarly but wouldn't charge. Fine with me, I'll use the classic on long trips anyway.
    But about a week and a half ago, I noticed that the alarm clock had stopped working normally. It would charge but not play music, using the clock's buzzer instead of playing my wake up music.
    Then today I plugged the iphone into the car for the first time in a couple weeks, and it started playing music when plugged in, but only through the phone's tinny internal speakers. Nothing I could do would route it through the car audio system.
    What could cause the iphone to suddenly stop feeding line-out to accessories? Anybody seen this before?
    Apologies if this has bee posted before, I did scan through a few pages of posts before posting.
    Thanks.
    P.S. Make itunes 9 work with XPx64. Please.

    Have you tried to restore it?

  • ShellPrompt in xmonad stopped working

    Ok,  after a general update of my entire system a couple of days ago,  I noticed that the shellPrompt stopped working normally.
    It comes up, and I can type in it, but commands won't execute, nor can I escape out of it.
    I'm not really sure what happened.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the xmonad stuff, thinking that maybe something didn't quite register right.   No joy.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    I can post my xmonad.hs if you want, but nothing changed in there since before it was working.

  • Firefox ver. 3.6 stopped loading pages of any kind. Even Google or Facebook! Maybe it's because I tried to download a program that didn't even open up. All other browsers work normally.

    My Firefox ver. 3.6 stopped loading pages of any kind. Even Google or Facebook! I don't know how this happened. May it is because I tried to download a program that didn't even open up.... But I don't know how to make it work. All other browsers work normally, and I'm scanning for viruses even though my anti-virus did not warn me of anything... I tried to download a keygen and this is what happened. I can't figure out what it is. Not a connection problem. I even tried to uninstall an re-install firefox, but still nothing worked.

  • My admin password stopped working. Can't restart in recovery and tried terminal but need more specific guidance there. Am operating macbook from external drive

    My macbook pro admin password has stopped working.  Can't start it in recovery mode and am having no success with terminal command although I could do with more in depth instruction on that.  Have been operating it from an external drive (Yosemite) for 3 months after a stuck reinstall of mavericks and it was working fine till last week.  I am currently downloading another copy of Yosemite with a view to trying to install it on my internal hard drive which has been erased.  Help

    Hey JustSomeGuy,
    Thanks for the response. It is the external drive that has the data I need to keep. Reboot did not do it...
    What I did get done just now is going into Safe Mode and delete the problematic files there and Empty Trash. That worked - so one step closer hopefully. I did not do the .DS Store files (will do that after done writing this).
    How do I do a copy with cp rather than the finder?
    Repair permissions is grayed out in DiskUtil - I did do a Disk Repair in Safe Mode and that turned up without error. However, now back in normal mode - Disk Repair gives an error again saying that the drive cannot be unmounted.
    Thanks for the help so far.
    Cheers

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    when i open itunes its normal and then out of nowhere it says "itunes has stopped working" and i have to click 'close program'. help?

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.
