Hi Guys - I have a Coldfusion10 update 16 is running on standalone Linux server. I have 5 apps on this Coldfusion. Now I am trying to update the Coldfusion with update 23. When the command line prompts to enter the "Where is ColdFusion 10 located?" I provided and tried all the below paths and none of them is recognized by coldfusion.
/opt/coldfusion10
/opt/coldfusion10/app1/
/opt/coldfusion10/app1/wwwroot
I tried to reach support as we are on support contract, but they unable to help as the CF10 reached eol.
-----------------
Installation and use of Adobe ColdFusion 10 Update 23 requires acceptance of
the following license agreement:
The specified directory is not valid.
Select the home directory of your ColdFusion 10 installation. For example,
/Applications/ColdFusion10
For J2EE installation, it is the WAR directory containing WEB-INF, CFIDE and
META-INF
-------------------
I sincerely appreciate any help with this.
Thanks
Srini

Have you tried /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/ (with a trailing slash)? Are you using proper cAsE in the path (ie, as it actually is cased)?
Just throwing some things against the wall to see if any of it sticks.
HTH,

I tried using a trailing slash. but no luck. To let you know no cfusion is under /opt/coldfusion10/. I just have all the 5 apps listed there.
Here is the command I am using. they all have cfusion user and group permissions.
/opt/java/current/jre/bin/java -jar /opt/coldfusion10/app1/hf-updates/hf-10-00023/hotfix_023.jar

Try the following in terminal: whereis -l coldfusion
Or you could try: locate coldfusion

when i do 'locate' it is picking all the 5 apps paths. we do have valid coldfusion under /opt/condfusion10.

That's a real head-scratcher.
Unfortunately, I'm not the install expert that Charlie Arehart is. Hopefully he will find this thread and provide some wisdom. He's quite good with issues such as this.
Wish I could have been of more help.

No problem. I do appreciate your quick input on this so far.
Adobe recommended to move the hotfix jar to /opt/coldfusion/jre/bin and directly run from there. I tried and it didn't work for me. Let me reboot my VM and see whether that fixes the issue.

If it does not work, you can reach out to Charlie via his email address, charlie@carehart.org.

Hi, Priyank,
Refer to reply #2.. OP states that there is no cfusion folder under /opt/coldfusion10/.
V/r,

Hi,
Thanks, they have cfusion folder because it is the default instance. When you install an update, it checks the installation directory(/opt/coldfusion10/11/2016) and for instances, it looks for instances.xml which has an entry for all the instance and that is where it is failing. The user can verify this.
Thanks,
Priyank Shrivastava

I took backup of the instances.xml and then added the above content and ran it. Still same error. 'directory not found' when i choose the default and hit enter. To let you know there is no 'cfusion' dir under /opt/coldfusion10 ( This is not existing > /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion).
But the cfusion is under /home/cfusion. I mentioned this because your instances.xml tags has the cfusion path.
<server>
<name>cfusion</name>
<directory>/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion</directory>
</server>

I also tried with the updated path in the instances.xml with no luck.

to:
