Hi Charlie,
I should have clarified things.
First off Ravi's solution works. I used the "Other" option, and set the sever home to [whatever]/WEB-INF/cfusion.
( [whatever] refers to the full path — it was easier not to keep typing it).
No jvm.config file.
That worked.
Then I deleted the newly created server definition. Next I created an empty jvm.config file in [whatever]/WEB-INF/cfusion/bin.
Unfortunately that did not work. CfB still returned an Invalid server home.
Since Ravi's solution worked and works well for my needs so far I'll be going with his solution.
Hey Larry, I totally appreciate that the problem is solved for you with Ravi's solution using "other".
As for my proposed solution, and what failed for you, I think I know why. I offer this as much for others who may find this thread.
I found I was able to experience your challenge if the closing slash on the "server home" field was missing. The response is immediate, while editing a CFB "server" configured this way. (Curiously, the slash is NOT needed if empty jvm.config is there when you first attempt this. The problem is when the file is NOT there, and you create a server with the server home having no slash, and THEN you create the empty jvm.config. Again, just add the slash then and it should work.)
If you're willing to give it another shot, I'd appreciate hearing if that solved things also. BTW, you had said you "deleted the newly created server definition", but as I noted above it's ok to have two or more "Servers" configured to point to the same instance (for whatever reason). 🙂
And while this closing slash does NOT matter for Ravis's approach (which is nice), as I said there are those feature differences I observed, at least in the menu offered for the server, and there may be still others. So it may help for some to know of both options here.
Indeed, I have added the discoveries from this thread as a new post on the Ortus forum thread from a couple of years ago that I referred to in my first answer. Someone may find that discussion and not this one. Finally, also edited my first reply above to make the need of the closing slash more clear, for future readers here.
Hope all this helps someone.
