ColdFusion 10 and IIS listening on private IP - unable to run updates

Apparently, ColdFusion tries to initiate updates through the same interface IIS is bound to. We have our IIS server bound to a private IP subnet (no outside access) and we are unable to run updates. Is there a way around this?

You could try to apply HotFix / Update manually:

CMD (as administrator?)

C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\hf-updates>

C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\hf-updates>echo %JAVA_HOME%

C:\ColdFusion10\jre

C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\hf-updates>echo %PATH%

C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;etc;C:\ColdFusion10\jre\bin

C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\hf-updates>java -jar hotfix_001.jar

Prompts for where is ColdFusion located

Offering

C:\ColdFusion10

The install should complete offering - Install Complete.

The only other thing is how to get the CF10 HotFix / Update JAR in the first place. Perhaps of you have a notebook that can browse download. Install CF10 developer edition on that and do the CF10 update process there with download now install latter option. Copy that JAR to your secure CF10 servers.

HTH, Carl.

Thanx, but for simplicity's sake, I think we will just bind IIS to the public network for the (infrequent) patching, then re-bind it to the private network. Thanx for the replies.

I have not attempted this but apparently there is an option to have your own update server.  Not sure exactly how this works but it is documented here.  Look at the bold Settings section.

Has anyone done this?
