Question

Installing CF MX 7 on Windows 2003 with sp1

Hi,
I'm currently evaluating .net and coldfusion for the future upgrade of asp applications. I downloaded Coldfusion and Dreamweaver on my testing pc and tested some. There were some issues but everything went well, so I decided to test Coldfusion on my testing server. I installed Coldfusion MX 7 trial version on my Windows 2003 sp1 testing server and experienced some problems. I finished the installation checking on something like 'installation done with some errors'. Here is the excerpt from a log (only errors).

Installation: Successful with errors.

1755 SUCCESSES
0 WARNINGS
3 NONFATAL ERRORS
0 FATAL ERRORS

Action Notes:

Web Server Connector Configuration Error: Run the Web Server Configuration Tool (wsconfig) to configure your web server after the installation completes.

ANT Script Error:
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - standalone.xmljava.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\CFusionMX7\tmpmove.bat (Access is denied)
ANT Script Error:
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - standalone.xmlC:\CFusionMX7\lib not found.
Web Server Connector Configuration Error
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - JNDI port 2920 for server coldfusion is not active

Could you help me with this to resolve this problem? I'd appreciate your help. Thanks

Your IIS data connectors failed to initialize. There is a utility in your MX program folder (Start | All Programs) that will help you set up your IIS connectors.

For those wanting to run on Apache, Google the ColdFusion ACME guide. It's a great resource for information on this.

Most likely step number 2 will fix your issue.

Thank you for your responses. I resolved the problem with a silent installation (sp1 reinstallation did not work for me).
I found a web page described exactly the same problem with possible solutions. I attached a link here fyi.

I'm setting up dreamweaver - cfusion to do some application development testing. Thanks again.

I was able to fix that problem by going to the microsoft site and simply installing SP1 again, it solved that part of the problem for me. There seem to be a number of ways to do this, but reinstalling SP1 worked for me (nothing fancy at all - download it, then run it, and you're done) - however my machine is just recently configured, so that might not be an option for you.

However I'm far from being able to get CF to actually run with my Apache installation, so I'm in no better boat than I was a week ago...blah.
