So, my boss agreed that I could install CF8 on one of our boxes. And, overall, things went smoothly. Until I realized that, because we use UNC paths in some of our code (in cfdirectory, for instance), I have to have CF log on as a user instead of the system account.
However, when I do that, I get a jrun 500 error. Looking at the server log, I see that when it was restarting to use the new logon, it would have the following entry: "Information","main","05/27/08","15:23:45",,"ColdFusion started" "Error","Thread-1","05/27/08","15:25:35",,"The Metrics service is not available. This exception is usually caused by service startup failure. Check your server configuration." "Information","Thread-1","05/27/08","15:25:40",,"ColdFusion stopped" The service manager in Windows shows CF is still running, but apparently it's not. So, it appears that jrun isn't able to find/start the Metrics service. I've tried using this article as a guide to resolve it (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19120&sliceId=1) but it didn't seem to change anything. Is there something else I should try doing? If I have CF start up as the system account, CF starts, but I can't use UNC.
