Coldfusion 10 will not start

I am running CF 10 on Redhat Linux 6 and everything was working fine until recently, but now I cannot get CF to start up.  I had created a datasource to connect to a unidata database and it was not working, so I needed a newer version of the database driver.  I got the new version of the driver (the 2 files needed for the driver are unijdbc.jar and asjava.zip).  I placed the files in the location where I've always placed them while using CF 8:

/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/classes/unijdbc.jar,/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/classes/asjava.zip,"%CLASSPATH%"

and set the class path in the CF Administrator accordingly, then stopped and started CF, and it came up fine, but the datasource to unidata would not verify (see my other recent forum post) -- in reply to that post, someone had recommended I put the drivers in a different location, so I did that, and set the classpath accordingly:

/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/unijdbc.jar,/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/asjava.zip,"%CLASSPATH%"

then stopped and started CF, and it came up without problem, but datasource still would not connect. 

So, I made one more change to the classpath and took the "" off the end so it looks like this:

/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/unijdbc.jar,/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/asjava.zip,%CLASSPATH%

and then instead of doing "service coldfusion_10 stop" and "service coldfusion_10 start" as I had been doing, I decided to try "service coldfusion_10 restart".  It said it was stopping CF but then could not start it.  I don't have the exact error but it did end with this:

The ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion is starting up and will be available shortly.

There has been an error starting ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion, please check the logs.

So I thought perhaps the "restart" left a pid or something hanging and it did not completely shut down, so it could not restart, although it would not let me do the stop command either, nor were there any coldfusion processes running on the server.  So I decided to reboot the server to see if that would help, it did not -- after the server came back up, I tried starting coldfusion again, and keep getting this error: 

[root@ctc3650z selinux]# service coldfusion_10 start

Starting ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion ...

nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'

sh: /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/asjava.zip: cannot execute binary file

sh: line 0: bg: no job control

The ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion is starting up and will be available shortly.

There has been an error starting ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion, please check the logs.

[root@ctc3650z selinux]#

I cannot get into the coldfusion administrator to change the classpath, but it does not appear to like the asjava.zip file, which it had no problem wtih before (is same file).  I do not understand this error:

sh: /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/asjava.zip: cannot execute binary file

Also it says "please check the logs" ... I have looked at all the logs under /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/logs and nothing in them references this error.

Here is the entry in the /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/bin/nohup.out:

Usage: java [-options] class [args...]

Can anyone help?  Thank you very much, and sorry so wordy...

I fixed it myself!!  I could not get back into the CF Admin to undo the syntax change on the classpath on the Java/JVM page, since CF was down, so I dug around on the server and found this file:  /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/bin/jvm.config  which is the contents of that screen.  I edited it with vi and undid the syntax change I did, then I was able to start up coldfusion.  Still can't get my unidata datasource to connect, but that's another issue...
