ColdFusion 5 on MS Server 2008 R2

Need to see if ColdFusion 5 will run on MS Server 2008 R2.
On a client's site that has ColdFusion 5(yes 5) and wants to move it to a MS Server with 2008 R2 and IIs 7.5 on it. The one app that is on it is going away as is all ColdFusion. So they do not want to invest in an upgrade. Simply not an option for them and they have made it clear.
2008 R2 Issues: CF 5 being 32-bit doesn't install for me. Is there a way to make this happen?
IIS 7.5 I've read articles that CF 5 can be run on IIS 7.5 with compatibility mode turned on. I don't think this will be the big hurdle.
The alternative is to keep in on the server it's on but for reasons this is the last alternative.
So for the most part I am looking for advise on running CF 5 on MS Server 2008 R2.
Thank you!

Hi,
ColdFusion 5 is not officially supported by Adobe any more. you can run ColdFusion 5 with Server 2008 R2, however, you may have compatibility issues. you can try running the Application pool for IIS in 32-bit mode.

Hi Peter,
Please check if the IPv4 Address and Domain Restrictions feature can help you to achieve target. For more details,
please refer to following article.

In addition, I agree with SenneVL. This issue seems to be more related to IIS configuration. As SenneVL suggested,
you would post your question in IIS Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
Hope this helps.

Data Compression in ColdFusion 9 for SQL Server 2008

Hi,
I need to store fairly large blocks of HTML text in SQL Server (I won't go into why, unless necessary).
Unfortunately even after stripping out the white space, the text string gets so long that the INSERT/UPDATE query times out.
I'm looking for a way to compress that text on the fly and send over just the compressed string. Then uncompress it when it's retrieved from DB.
The only way I can think of doing it is using CFZIP to create a temporary zip file, then read it in and send that binary string to SQL Server. But I don't know if that'll speed things up any, cause of all the file operations. Ideally I would just do it in memory.
I also looked into GZIP for ColdFusion, but I don't think there is much difference.
Any suggestions?

I don't really want to go into too many details as to why, but in this particular scenario just caching the page doesn't work.
It's used by TV talent to view scores, and has to be almost instant. The scores are coming in from 100 different sources constantly, so if I cache, then the first user who gets to that page has to wait too long for it to load, and I have to keep clearing the cache like every 5 sec. Plus it's on a clustered server, so what I'm doing is I'm doing all the heavy lifting in a separate process that might even run on a different server, and then simply getting the generated HTML from SQL.
When a score comes in it triggers an EventGateway that runs a process to generate all different variations of screens for TV talent in the background.
Then when TV talent looks at any screen in loads instanly cause there are no calculations to be done, and the data is only delayed by how long the process takes. The actuall process is about 10 sec, but it's getting slowed down a lot because the query that sends the HTML over to SQL Server to store, is HUGE.
If I can compress that HTML and store the compressed text, then when I do the SELECT from SQL uncompress it and send it back to the users, that would work just fine.
But I can't figure out how to compress text in ColdFusion. I'm trying to do GZIP but it's not working.
Please let me know if you know how to compress a long string in ColdFusion using either GZIP or any other method.
Thanks.

CF8 on 32bit Server 2008 Install Issues

Brand new Server 2008 with IIS7 install, fresh download of CF8 developer version (not the 64bit version). The administrator won't show up. When I go to the administrator, I get a 404 not found error. When I browse through Explorer (not IE) it's there. Everything is installed in the default folders. I added the .cfm MIME Type (application/x-cfm) through IIS Manager and that didn't help. Our other servers are Server 2003 and installing CF8 was a breeze. We can view .html pages.
Anyone have any ideas?

This might help:

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

Installing Coldfusion 9 and Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

I'm having issues getting ColdFusion 9 working with Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.
The server is brand new and it's a fresh install of Apache and ColdFusion 9.
Having installed Apache, I tested the web server and it was working fine, so I proceeded to install ColdFusion 9. I attempted to restart the Apache server through the Apache Service monitor, only to get the error dialog box 'The requested operation has failed'.
On closer examination of the Windows error log, I saw the following error:
The Apache service named reported the following error: >>>
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 488 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so into server: The Apache service named is not a valid Win32 application.
I updated the ColdFusion installation to 9.0.1 in case there was an issue with version 9.0 and Apache. Still no joy.
After a bit of research, I thought perhaps there was an issue with the mod_jrun22.so file (since when I commented out the reference to that file from the Apache config file, the Apache HTTP server started without any problem). I tried replacing the mod_jrun22.so with the 32 bit version (extracted from the wsconfig.jar file), but that made no difference either.
I have tried a number of things. I have run wsconfig and uninstalled all web server connectors and then re-created them.
I have to use Apache and IIS is not an option (I use rewrite rules extensively in an existing live installation and have many sites set up in a vhosts file), so please - no suggestions to use IIS instead.
The system requirements on http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/coldfusion/systemreqs/ state that Coldfusion 9 will work with Apache 2.2.17 and later on Windows 64 bit, so why am I having issues with a brand-new installation on a 'virgin' server?
Any help would be much appreciated. I have spent hours trawling the Web for solutions.

I missed an important detail in my opening post. My Coldfusion 9 version is 64 bit - not 32.
OK. Simple solution to this. I'll put it here for other peoples' reference.
To cut a long story short, after phoning Adobe support this morning I was told that you can't run a 64 bit version of ColdFusion with a 32 bit web server. In essence, the web server software and the ColdFusion server software must be the same - either 32 or 64 bit.
Apache is only officially released as a 32 bit version, but there is a 64 bit unofficial version available from http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/binaries, so I downloaded that and installed it, based on the instructions at http://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/64bit-apache-php-mysql-windows.html.
Once I'd installed the 64bit version of Apache, the installation of Coldfusion 9 64 bit went smoothly and all appears to be working just fine now (well, I can get to the ColdFusion Administrator page and I have successfully updated the server software to ColdFusion 9.0.1).
The fact that you can't mix different 'bit' versions of software in this way may be obvious, but it wasn't obvious to me. Having been an early adopter of a 64 bit version of Vista on my own PC, I never experienced these kind of problems before. Software installed itself into the corresponding locations on my PC without any problem and just worked. This is the first time I've run into this problem.
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any information regarding this very important requirement on the system requirements pages, so I suggested to the support engineer that he may want to make the recommendation that the page is amended to clarify the situation: e.g.
IMPORTANT: 64 bit versions of ColdFusion require 64 bit versions of web server software to function. You can not mix 32 bit and 64 bit versions of web servers and ColdFusion server.
Hope this helps someone else out.

CF10 on Windows server 2008 (64bit): 32-bit CF cannot be installed, but 64-bit can.

Hi, I have exhaused my research and ways of fixing this issue.
I have a Windows Server 2008 (64-bit).
I am able to install 64-bit CF10 on it and CF websites run just fine.
On the same machine, I have a ASP website that must be in run in 32-bit and within this website there are some ColdFusion pages. So I have to install CF10 32 bit. So I uninstalled CF10 64bit.
When installing CF10 32 bit, I always got error message:
Cannot configure IIS connector. Enable the required option ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filter in IIS under Windows Features and try again.
I did lot of online research and found RELATED posts, but none of them worked for me. Basically, in my case I have the IIS following installed
ISAPI Extensions
ISAPI Filter
ASP.NET
CGI
but I alway got the above error message. Cannot think of other reasons.
Any help is really appreciated!!! I have been working on this thing for the past three working days.
Regards.

Hi,
I saw your post which is similar to the problem I'm trying to solve. I'm not sure if I need to post a new topic, but I thought just add it to your post.
I installed CF10-64bit on Windows 2008 server (64 bit). When I opened the CF admin, it gave me an error - HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error. The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred. Module: IsapiModule, Handler: cfmHandler, Error Code: 0x800700c1. After searching for solution in the internet, I finally made it work after changing the DefaultAppPool which is used by the CFIDE in the advance settings, the "Enable 32-bit Applications" to False.
Now, my problem is I have an ASP application which requires that the application pool advance settings must be set to True for "Enable 32-bit Applications". I created another application pool for this application. It woks fine. However, this ASP application calls some CF pages and I'm having a problem because the CF10 is set to use a different application pool with diferent setting for "Enable 32-bit Applications".
In order for my application to work, it seems that I need to install the CF10 32 bit version. Am I right? Or is there a work around for my issue?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm going to create a new post for this.

Installing CF9 on Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-bit

Hi-
I'm attempting to install a new ColdFusion configuration with a host who is useless regarding the support that they offer (for now, they shall remain nameless).
It's a Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS configuration. MySQL is already installed so I'm on the hook to configure ColdFusion 9 with IIS (7.5, I believe). There are numerous settings which the installer does not seem to address so I've had to address several Module Mappings which failed during the install....
Can anyone point me to an installation doc for the above configuration? Will the CF installer eventually handle these issues or are we on our own to support this?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

My advice is to get out now and go to a site like hosting.com that has a solid track record hosting CF. There are several others to choose from. If they are starting this rough you will have constant problems.

Connecting SQL Server 2008 + CF8 mac

Hello,
I am currently porting all of our access databases to SQL Server 2008 and i am using a mac for development. If anyone can tel me how to connect sql server database from the cfadmin on mac to a virtual environment on parallels 5. In the cfadmin on mac SQL Server is listed as a kown datasource you can connect to but the only way i see to do this is thru a virtual environment or remote.
Please help
Thanks,
D

Having not used Parallels in some time I couldn't say for sure, but essentially that SQL engine needs to be accessible from Coldfusion on an IP address somewhere. Depending on what networking mode you're using, that'll either be:
1 - Its own IP
2 - Localhost, or 127.0.0.1
As long as your ColdFusion instance has network access to the SQL box, there's no additional config required.

Problem calling COM Object on Windows Server 2008 x64

Hi,
We are using 32 bits COM object called in Coldfusion page on 32 bits OS. It works fine since few years.
Now we need to use it on x64 Windows Server 2008 and 64bits IIS.
As I 've seen (http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=87869C67-B1 9B-288F-F32B6E8BAB3228CA ),a 64 bits process can only call 64 bits DLL.
So we created a 64 bits Wrapper like this : http://www.dnjonline.com/article.aspx?id=jun07_access3264
But calling 64 bits COM Object still raises the same error (" The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not use native code: Initialisation failed") whereas it works fine with a 64 bits executable created in .NET for example.
Is there a known issue about this subject?
Sorry for english , I'm a french developper.
Thanks in advance.

Can somebody please share the solution for this issue?
I am facing similar issue with Windows 2012 R2 x64 OS and Excel 2007(32-bit) combination.
I tried couple of things like Excel is able to Open an existing workbook on my system but fails to
create a new Workbook as done by invoking the "Add" command. It fails with Error 800a03ec.
I tried creating the two folders i.e. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop & C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop, but could not get it working.

Indexing .cfm files using Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0

Hi All,
Anyone knows why .cfm files would not get indexed by Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0. This is a coldfusion website using Indexing Service for site search. There are a lot of cfm pages indexed as unknown files. Any clues on how this can be fixed?
Thanks!

You might try editing your registry so that *.cfm, *.cfc, and other ColdFusion related files are treated as text files by the Windows search feature. See link below.

Cold fusion 9 Installation on Windows server 2008 (IIS 7.0) - IIS websites not working ?

I am having a 64 bit machine on which windows server 2008 R2 is installed. IIS 7.0 is configured and running on it. on which I have my organisations main website. I have to install Cold fusion on this machine as some of my site pages are designed with CF.
I used all the default settings for installing cold fusion 9. It got completed succefully. But after I restarted my system and tried accesing my ASP.net website it was not loading the page. Text getting displayed was only as follows '<script> src="'. Later I unsistalled CF and my site was working fine.
Please can any one guide me to successfully install Cold fusion without disturbing my main site deployed on IIS ?

Sarfarajms, I don't recognize what about the CF install would conflict with ASP.NET, but I'll note this:
If you downloaded CF 9 recently, you are still running 9.0--which does NOT formally support IIS 7. If you followed the steps about enabling IIS 6 compatibility and such (in the install guide or some blog entry), perhaps that caused the conflict.
Instead, you will want to install 9.0.1 (CF 9 Updater 1, which is NOT provided in the current 9.0 install). THAT is the first release to formally support IIS 7. And if you read the updater installation guide (http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/901/cf901install.pdf), it discusses how to deal with the upgrade depending on what you had done with respect to IIS, starting at the bottom of its page 8.
Hope that helps.

Error: Registering remote JRun instance in CF9/Windows Server 2008

Hello,
We are upgrading our dev/qa/uat environments to a new set of servers (2). CF9.01 with the latest patches is installed fresh on both servers, which are running Server 2008/IIS7. I created jrun instance dev01 and dev02 on each server, respectively. The plan was to let the CISCO load balancer manage the load between the two boxes, and to then share JRun sessions between the boxes so that we could failover anytime during the day if need be. Whenever I try to register a remote instance I get the following error:
Variable ORGSPECDIR is undefined.
The error occurred in serverlist.cfm: line 360

Now, from either of the 2008 servers I CAN register a remote JRun instance that resides on a Server 2003 box. If I go to the Server 2003 box and try to register an instance from either one of the 2008 servers I get the same error as above, so it is definitely specific to Windows 2008 server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to think about storing sessions in a db but want to have that high availability/flexibility at anytime.

Gary

Hi Gary, this was a bug in CF 9.0.1. We've issued a hotfix fo it:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/886/cpsid_88660.html

ColdFusion8 works with SQL Server 2008 compatibility level 90?

We're currently is using ColdFusion8 and need to upgrade the database from SQL Server 2000 to 2008. Will ColdFusion8 work with SQL Server 2008 compatibility level 90?

Hi,
ColdFusion 8 is not supported with SQL Server 2008. A list of supported environment is available at http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf8_systemsupportmatrix.pdf
