9.0.1 Upgrade, date format error on the scheduled task list

Hi there

I upgraded our server to 9.0.1 and since then we are having a constant error on the scheduled task listing page:

7/16/2010  6:28:00 AM is an invalid date format.

it seems to be stemming from the LAST RUN column. I'm assuming its simply because LSDateformat() hasnt been used when formatting the last run datetime? My server is using English (UK) windows settings and my JAVA Defult Locale is set to en_GB. The current fix is to edit the task, which resets the last run time to NOT RUN. This is unworkable though when we have 100's of tasks.

I desperately need a fix for this as it makes the tasks unusable.

Kind regards

Tom Jenkins

    Right - this is a QUICK and DIRTY fix, but it works (solution given for a Windows 2008 server). Doesn't mitigate the fact that the 9.0.1 upgrade breaks the admin scheduler list/admin pages.

    Open up a window to X:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\scheduler (X being whatever drive is appropriate). RENAME the scheduletasks.cfm file you'll find there to sommat meaningful like scheduletasks.cfm.901. Now open up a window onto Y:\ColdFusion9\updater_backup\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\scheduler (Y being whatever drive is appropriate) and COPY the scheduletasks.cfm file to the directory above. No need to restart any services, you just get your ability to administer scheduled tasks back.

    Like I said, this don't fix what was broke, just a work around till Adobe ... (complete sentence in idiom of local language).

    Checkout Coldfusion Administrator Summary, my Java Default Locale  is de_DE (running CF 9.01, latest hotfix applied on Win 2008 R2 x64)

    So

    1. goto: Java and JVM

    2. add at the end of JVM arguments: a space and  -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US

    3. restart Coldfusion

    4. goto info page again, now it should show: en_EN and the errors should disappear

    Unfortunately with our cluster / multi instance environment, there doesn't seem to be a backed up version of the scheduleTasks.cfm

    Oh well, looks like I will just have to create a custom schedule task listing
