CF 9.0.1 Update - Cannot Start CF Application Server

Report · Jun 06, 2011

Running a dev box with W7 x64. i7 8GB ram. Had CF 9.0.0 (x86) running. Able to get to /CFIDE/Administrator.cfm and add DSNs, etc, but could not access CF websites due to 403 errors.

Installed 9.0.1 x64 update and now CF Application Server service will not start. (Error Code 2) and the Win event log posts "The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service terminated with service-specific error The system cannot find the file specified."

Checking the service properties, it is looking for: "C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\bin\jrunsvc.exe" and I verified that it was there.

Looking at the forum I saw that it may be a JRE error, so I edited my JVM config to "java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre6" (Copied the ../jre6 folder from C:/program files/java/ in case the config file was tripping over the space in "Program Files")

Tried toggling IIS6 compatability on/off - No joy.

I've spent a couple of days chasing this (Tried to load CF9 x64 and it was a bust.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

IF I understand correctly. You tried to install the 9.0.1 64bit UPDATER to a 32bit (x86) CF 9.0.0 Installation?

IF SO that is a bad combonation. 32bit with 32bit or 64bit with 64bit. Mixing and matching will always cause problems.

If this is what you have done, I can not advice you beyond a clean install and pick a number of bits and stick with them (either choice should be fine on your hardware).

You understand it correctly.

I get the same 9.0.1 /CF Application Server behaviors/errors regardless whether I use the the x86 or x64 versions of the server. The primary benefit of using the x86 CF server is that the DSN connectors include MS Access (Unicode) connectors while the x64 install does not.

If I had a way of getting 9.0.1 x64 and MS Access Unicode, I would be ecstatic, but for the moment, I'm stuck at 9.0.0 x86

The prod environment is a different story, but I was hoping to normalize the sandbox.

Thanks.

Hi Tom,

Win 64 bit with CF9 32 bit should work ok with some tricks applied to IIS to make it 32 bit. I worry the CF9.0.1 64 bit updater1 might mess things up a little. If you mean CF9.0.1 32 bit updater1 then I think that should be OK.

Suggest check in CF\runtime\logs\EVENT and OUT log tail (Jrun4\logs case multi server) for error when ColdFusion application service tries to start.

Another idea CD CF\bin, run CFSTAT.BAT. Any errors?

HTH, Carl.

I've tried both the x64 & x86 updaters without any success. (The labling on the update package suggested that it related to the OS vs. the Server version.) Same error either way with both the x86 and x64 CF9 servers

I looked at the logs and didn't see much...

(Note: This is back to a straight x86 9.0.0 install, so it won't have the 9.0.1 errors. Doh!)
