CF8 on Apache: server monitor's flex2gateway 500 error

[slr242]

The basic problem has been fairly well documented elsewhere, but this is it in a nutshell:

When you attempt to bring up the server monitor (a Flex app) in CF 8, the monitor can fail to let you in, and instead display a 'Coldfusion Server is Unavailable' message. On the backend, I see this:

2011-06-13 17:58:55,051 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/].[MessageBrokerServlet]] Servlet.service() for servlet MessageBrokerServlet threw exception

flex.messaging.MessageException: No configured channel has an endpoint path '/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure/index.cfm'.

I've seen documentation on how to fix this in IIS and JRun, but we're using Apache 2.2 and JBoss.

Been scouring the Interwebs for a solution, but it's eluded me.

Can anyone help? Thanks much in advance.

Looks as though one solution is to bypass Apache by hitting CF Admin via the JBoss port that it's running on. As that's working for me, I'll mark this question as answered! 🙂
