Tried to install CFMX on a fresh development box at home and hit problems. Posted the following to the Macromedia Forums but haven't had any response so far. Any ideas? TIA =======================
The ColdFusion MX service isn't starting. I've read the numerous other posts on this and have tried the steps below. I suspect the problem is due to (6). Any ideas why the initial set up appears to have gone wrong and (more importantly) how to fix it? TIA System setup: Completely fresh installation of Windows 2000 Professional, running IIS 5.0. No Service Packs installed. ColdFusion 5 not previously installed. IIS works find, able to browse .html and .asp pages without problems. (1) Opening the CFAdmin page displays a 500 Internal Server Error. (2) Trying to start the ColdFusion MX service manually returned "Service-specific Error 2". (3) I wiped the machine, did a complete reinstall and didn't install any Service Packs (several threads suggest there are problems with W2K SP3 and CFMX). CFMX service still doesn't start. (4) I altered the Recovery settings for the service to "Restart the Service" for both first and second fail. Trying to start the service returns the "Service-specific Error 2" message. (5) Confirmed that, as per Sean Corfield's blog at http://www.corfield.org/blog/2002_07_01_archive.html checked that jvm.config doesn't pass corrupt arguments and that the line says: # Arguments to VM java.args=-DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS -Xmx512m (6) In Internet Services Manager | Home Directory | Configuration the .cfc, .cfm, .cfml and .jsp extensions are mapped to C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll However, this path doesn't exist. The closest folder to the one referenced is at C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\ which contains just two files, jrunwin32.dll and wsconfig.log Should I just change the mapping for the 4 extensions above to the jrunwin32.dll file instead? (7) Read the page "To configure IIS for ColdFusion MX in Windows" at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/cfmxdocs/Installing_ColdFusion_MX/configu ring4.jsp#1118876 Running c:\cfusionmx\runtime\jre\bin\java -cp c:\cfusionmx\runtime\lib -jar c:\cfusionmx\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar -ws IIS -site "0" -map .cfm,.cfc,.cfml,.jsp -v from the command prompt returns os.name: Windows 2000 os.version: 5.0 os.arch: x86 platform: intel-win web server: IIS File C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrunwin32.dll newer than JAR file C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar so not extracted findServers(): attempting connect to port 2901 on host 127.0.0.1 Could not connect to any JRun servers on host localhost. Confirm that the JRun server is started. The "JRunScripts" virtual directories weren't automatically created. Is this because the initial installation went wrong? (although it appeared to complete fine) (8) Looked at Task Manager | Processes and jrun.exe is listed with a PID of 488. Does that mean that JRun really is running?
