Upgrade 9.0.0 to 9.0.2

Hi there,

I would need some help in upgrading my ColdFusion in my company's server from CF 9.0.0 to CF 9.0.2

Currently my company installs CF 9.0.0 on IIS, however our product would need to use Java 1.7.

Some articles suggests me to apply cumulative hot fix and change the Java source path to Java 1.7, as mentioned in the article Cumulative hot fix 1 | ColdFusion 9.0.2

However, the hot fix is only applicable to CF 9.0.2 and the CF (running off IIS) that got installed in our production server is CF 9.0.0.

Some articles suggests that the only way to upgrade CF 9 to CF 9.0.2 is by doing a fresh install of CF 9.0.2 and uninstall CF 9.0.0.

However, if I do that, won't I lose my data source information, etc?

Is there any smooth way to upgrade CF 9.0.0 to CF 9.0.2?

Thanks for your time to read my questions   Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Ivan.

Hi Ivan,

When jvm.config is set to java.home=C:\\Program Files\\java\jdk1.7.0_15\\jre is msvcr100.dll from Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_15\bin placed in \ColdFusion9\runtime\bin ? If you have a msvcr100.dll already there take a copy of it before replace so you have a rollback.

HTH, Carl.

Hi Ivan,

CF 9.0.2 is a fresh install using 9.0.2 installer package which is not available on Adobe CF download page.

I have used CF 9.0.1 CHF4 with Java 7. From memory it is not an official Adobe supported platform.

CF 9.0.0 can be updated to 9.0.1 with an updater package. I would not try update 9.0.0 to 9.0.1 on production prefer you do that on a dev area (someone's notebook) first.  I guess 9.0.0 could work with Java 7 but have never tried myself. On dev area, install your CF 9.0.0 package and configure it with Java 7 then test.

Hi Charlie and Carl,

Thank you so much for your input.  It does help and I made some progress

Yes I think I will choose to go down the path where I don't need to upgrade CF 9.0.0 to CF 9.0.2 in the production server, but goes down the path where we can use Java 7 on CF 9.0.0.

Charlie, I've followed the instructions on http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/cumulative-hotfix-3-coldfusion-900.html and everything seems to work fine after the upgrade.

However, as soon as I follow the instructions on Use ColdFusion with an external JVM that is by installing JDK 1.7.0_15 and then resetting the java.home in the "jvm.config" file, then my CF can't start anymore.

It asks me to look at the System Event Log, which just says "The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service could not be started.  Check the server "coldfusion" log files for more information.", but there is no entries in the CF log folder that may relate to the failed start up.  Any idea why this is the case?

I know JDK 1.7.0_15 works for CF 9.0.2, and the article referred to by the hotfix for CF 9.0.0 also mentions that version in the example.

Again, thank you very much for your time to answer my question above.

Kind regards,

Ivan.
