New Install of Coldfusion 2016 Startup Issue XPathFactory

Hello all

I have installed Coldfusion 2016 on Ubuntu and I am seeing this in the logs:

Error [localhost-startStop-1] - XPathFactory#newInstance() failed to create an XPathFactory for the default object model:

http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the XPathFactoryConfigurationException:

javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory:

jar:file:/opt/coldfusion2016/cfusion/bin/../lib/saxon9he.jar!/META-INF/services/javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory:2: Illegal configuration-file syntax

Anyone see this?

Also, maybe related, but I also cannot update (CF Update 6) the server using the CF Admin: seeing this in the logs:

[cfthread-1] - Installing update, Update-File: /opt/coldfusion2016/cfusion/hf-updates/hotfix-006-308055.jar Update-Level: 06

[cfthread-1] - Install Error -  =======================================================  Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported  Unable to load and to prepare the installer in console or silent mode.  =======================================================

any help would be very appreciated

thanks in advanced

    Hi,

    Could you please let me know if you are getting this after you installed the ColdFusion or while installing it. please share the install log here.

    Thanks,

    This is happening after installation. The site that is hosted on this CF2016 (standard) works (mostly) fine by the way. Do you want the entire install log? it pretty big - i quickly looked thru it - it all says "SUCCESSFUL"

    We are talking past each other. I don't think I have misunderstood you.

    Again, are you quoting from CF's *installation log*, which is in the root of the CF folder? I have been asking instead (well, additionally), about the *update* log, which is in another folder. I will repeat the two key points of what I said in my first reply above:

    [snip]

    Artiem, when you say the log all says successful, let's be more specific (for your sake, and Adobe's, and those of us following along).

    To be clear, you are referring to the installation log that's in the root of the CF2016 folder, right?

    [snip]

    Finally, you mention having tried to run an update, and that failed. Was that in the UI, or were you looking at a log about the update, in the cfusion/hf-updates folder? There would normally be a folder there for each update one tried to install (6, in your case), and a log file in that for each time you tried to add or remove an update. Did you get such a log? (It's possible there may be no folder there for your update 6, if the update never really started.)


    I apologize, I thought I had already mentioned that there is no log that I can find as it relates to the updates. There are no log files or folders in the /cfusion/hf-updates folder. there are only 2 files there - the downloaded.jar file and a .properties file.

    thanks
