Element JDKPATH is undefined in FORM after Java upgrade

[RobinxH]

Hi,

I'm using a VPS with CF 8.01 (Enterprise) and recently upgraded Java from 1.6.0_04  to 1.6.0_11 to fix a memory leak issue.

Changed the jvm.config lines below to reflect the upgrade:

#java.home=C:/ColdFusion8/runtime/jre
java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_11/jre

The system info in CF admin still says the java home is C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\jre and the version is 1.6.0_04

What's worse, is that in CF admin under 'Java and JVM' I now get the following error:

Element JDKPATH is undefined in FORM.

The error occurred in jvm.cfm: line 174
Called from jvm.cfm: line 145
Called from jvm.cfm: line 143
Called from jvm.cfm: line 1

-1 : Unable to display error's location in a CFML template.

So I'm now unsure if the server is using the newly installed 1.6.0_11 java version or the old version.

Does anyone know how I can fix this error in CF admin?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Robin.

try using the double quotes when you have a space in the path defined in your jvm.config

java.home="C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_11/jre"

I managed to resolve it by uninstalling the jdk for the 64bit platform (jdk-6u11-windows-x64.exe) and installing the 32bit jdk (jdk-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe).

I'm running windows server 2003 64bit so don't know why the 64bit version didn't work.  Any way fixed now.

Thank you for looking.

You have to run a 64-bit version of ColdFusion to use a 64-bit JVM (and vice-versa).

The x64 mismatch will cause the problem, but it's not the only way it can happen. We saw it in conjunction with this error:

"Security: The requested template has been denied access to C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\bin\jvm.config."

...during the Java update, permissions got change on the directory structure. After a reinstall and repairing the permissions, both problems went away.
