Hi,

Is there a document that provides the detailed steps to update the Cold Fusion 11 java engine?

Also, where would one go to obtain the appropriate Java engine for Cold Fusion 11 32 bit?

Thanks,

Mike

    Hi,

    In the Cold Fusion Administrator, the path for the JVM show D;\ColdfFusion11\jre

    There is no version number in the path.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Did you install the JDK? Did you do any of the things @Haxtbh and I suggested?

    In the Cold Fusion Administrator, the path for the JVM show D;\ColdfFusion11\jre

    There is no version number in the path.

    Of course, there isn't. That is what you have to change.

    Hi,

    I have not installed the new version yet.

    I originally install Cold Fusion 11.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    The highest Java build number for ColdFusion 11 is 1.8.0_25. So you should install the 32-bit version of the Java SE Development Kit 8u25 from the JDK archive.

    The steps:

    1) On the download page, click to 'Accept License Agreement'. (I assume you have Windows). Download the 32-bit JDK file. It is the file named jdk-8u25-windows-i586.exe.

    2) Launch the executable, accepting the default settings during installation. The JDK should then be installed in: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25.

    3) Open the ColdFusion Administrator. Go to the 'Java and JVM' page. Click on Browse Server to select the new value for the Java Virtual Machine Path . You could, alternatively, just type it in. It should be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\jre.

    Press the button to submit the change.

    If you are running Enterprise ColdFusion and have multiple ColdFusion instances, then you should make this change in the ColdFusion Administrator of every instance.

    4) Stop and restart ColdFusion. (Do this for every ColdFusion instance, if running Enterprise ColdFusion).
