CFHTTP with https not working after server IP change (CF 10, Windows Server 2008 R2)

Question

Hi,
We noticed that a call to https://www.googleapis.com/ via CFHTTP stopped working after our sysadmin switched the IP of our web server.
The error from ColdFusion is:
JSON parsing failure at character 1:'C' in Connection Failure
After researching, I tried using the keytool ([CF 10 root]/jre/bin/keytool.exe to import the top-level certificate (GeoTrust Global CA), which was exported from Google Chrome 42 in DER format.
I used the following flags:
-import -v -alias GAGLOBAL -file [.cer location] -keystore cacerts -storepass [password]
It appeared to add correctly, as it displayed the owner, issuer, etc. and asked if I wanted to trust the certificate. I replied "yes", and it responded "Certificate added to keystore" [Storing cacerts]. I then restarted the CF 10 application service. The same error persists.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Dave

Answer 1

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that manually added statics route disappeared after rebooting.
Try to use command line:
Route –p add destination mask subnetmask
gateway metric costmetric if
interface
Note:
Interface indicates the interface number. Type route print, the first column of
interface list, find the interface number corresponding to the MAC address.
Routes added by using the -p option are stored in the registry under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip \Parameters\PersistentRoutes
You may open registry edit and check to see if the registry entry is added.
Besides, you may try a work around way to add this route entry in hosts file, which are stored in the local systemroot\System32\Drivers\Etc
folder.
