Ah, got it now. I missed that this was a silent install. Thanks for your
patience with me, Mike. :-)

Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 10 updates Offline

 

Ok, so two completely separate items really. Sorry to confuse the two.
First, this:

java -jar hotfix_005.jar -i silent -f properties.txt

I have to do this because I need a way to update CF 10 with the appropriate
hotfixes on Solaris. It's a DoD server under strict control. Could I use a
remote X session to blow back the GUI to my desktop using Cygwin or
something? I suppose, but it seems like overkill does it not? So double
clicking on the jar file to execute it is out of the question. I can't
remember where, but I found some Adobe documentation regarding the patching
of CF 10. They did mention this java command above. Here is what I put in
the properties.txt file BTW:

INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/web/cf10
DOC_ROOT=/web/cf10/cfusion/wwwroot

I'd be willing to bet $10 that is how the CF Administrator actually installs
the hotfixes as well. 

The second issue is the end of line character. *nix and Windows do it
differently. I forget the specifics, but if I'm not mistaken, Windows uses
two different characters and *nix uses one. So, I wrote the properties.txt
file on my Windows 7 workstation in notepad and scp'd it over to the Solaris
box. It borked the hotfix install because the installer wasn't applying the
patches to the correct directories. It was adding what looked like a "space"
character to the end of the path, so the actual path looked like:

/web/cf10 /cfusion/wwwroot

That was bad :) Running dos2unix on Solaris fixed it up and I'm now good to
go.
