Using developer after expiry of trial period

[nwcarter]

Hi, I downloaded CF 9 onto my Windows XP Professional installation under a trial expecting it to revert to developer mode which would let me continue to use it to test cfm's on my own machine at ColdFusion9/wwwroot/myproject.

Now the license has expired pointing IE at my cfm doesn't work and checking CF ApplicationServer service it will no longer start .

What am I missing  please?

I've never seen that behavior - in all cases I've seen, it has simply converted to Developer. Are you sure there's no other problem causing the service not to start?

Thanks for your response.

I've considered uninstalling it all and starting again. Thought I was just

being stupid hence my post first.

What do you think?

cheers,

Wynne

Well, it's probably easier to do that than to fiddle around with it, if that's really the reason it's not starting. But did you actually verify that this is why the service isn't starting?

Don;t really know how to find out why its not restarting. The error message

wasn't helpful.

You can either check the log files (c:\coldfusion9\logs\*) or run CF as an application rather than a service by running c:\coldfusion9\bin\cfstart.bat from a command prompt.

Cool. Thank you very much - I'll try that tomorrow and let you know.

Actually working at home right now doing this to help someone else.

Your assistance is much appreciated,

Wynne.

Hi Dave,

tried to run from command prompt and it said path not found and then Jrun

not available etc.

then looked at the logs and it seemed to suggest it was now running in

developer mode....

tried accessing my index.cfm and it ran ok.

Not sure whats going on but i can start some testing work now so that's good

news.

Once again I'm very grateful for your help ..... hope it will go ok for a

while,

Best

Wynne
