Hi,

Can you please share the error log, it seems like you have to add the machine name in hosts file. However if you can share the error log that will give more information to resolve this.

Thanks,

senkel,

Can you try to point CF to the default Java, and see if it starts up.

You can edit the jvm.config file at <cf_root>/cfusion/bin and point the java.home setting to the default location at <cf_root>/cfusion/jre.

I don't think with the default installation "<cf_root>/jre/Contents/Home/jre" exists. There should be no "jre" in "Home" . Can you check if that directory physically exists there.

The path should be set to "../../jre/Contents/Home

These two solutions don't work for me. My situation is right after install the coldfusion, the localhost server works fine. But when I reboot the computer next day, the server show up the the NullPointerException.  What I found saying that the coldfusion server is start right the way when boot the computer, but the Tomcat is not. So my solution is


1. Delay coldfusion server  at the startup item of mac.

or

2. Restart coldfusion server every time after reboot computer.

Mac Temrminal:

./Coldfusion restart
