Starting ColdFusion OS X

Okay, I'm on a mac pro quad-core intel xeon, trying to get
the coldfusion server started. I'm working through the Flex 3
Training from the Source book & I've tried the supplied
(appendix a) terminal command of
./jrun -start cfusion in
driveroot:/cfusionFlexTFS/bin directory with
-bash: JRun: command not found results... I've tried using
the CFusion Launcher as well to no avail. Perhaps I'm doing
something wrong or need to update something for 64 bit ... ? Please
help point me in the right direction if you have a moment.
Thank you kindly,

bad install of coldfusion ... copy zip file to driveroot,
then open (after an uninstall).

Error When Starting Coldfusion

I just installed Coldfusion, I don't think I configured my
external APACHE webserver correctly because I cannot open a cmf
(administration) file. When I try to go to the admin login it just
asks me to download the login.cfm file rather than actually showing
me the file!
Also when I start coldfusion I get this error saying
something couldn't be loaded. I'm so lost, please help!

Ok great, BUT it is going to ask me where to install the root
files which is CFIDE (the administrator).... On apache my root is
/var/www/vhosts/defult/
Should I install it there or the default? Because once I get
apache to work with coldfusion and I don't include port 8500 it
won't know where to find the CFIDE files since it is not in the
root apache directory.
Also you said to use LOCALHOST when trying ot access it. Can
I use my ip address because it is held on a server far from me. Or
do I have to remote dekstop into the unix server?
Using the ip address didnt work
http://72.35.76.29:8500/CFIDE/administrator/login.cfm
also note that I used all teh defaults for coldfusion AND started
it. Below is a screen straight from SSH

Starting ColdFusion Multi-Server Instances - Correct Method

Can someone please provide me with the correct method of starting multi-server instances of ColdFusion from the command line?
I have been using:
/<jrun4 home>/bin/jrun -nohup -start cfusion (for the cfusion instance)
/<jrun4 home>/bin/jrun -nohup -start <coldfusion instance 2> (for a second instance of coldfusion)
etc.
I see however that when the second instance of coldfusion (<coldfusion instance 2>) is started from the ColdFusion Administrator (Enterprise Manager - Instance Manager), it appears as the following:
/<jrun4 home>/bin/jrun -nohup -start -childVM <coldfusion instance 2>
What is the purpose of the -childVM switch that appears to be used when starting the instance from the ColdFusion Administrator (Enterprise Manager - Instance Manager)? Should it be used when manually starting the instance from the command line?
Is there an online reference for the jrun swithces to be used when starting ColdFusion instances? I have not been able to find any.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

This is one are were you won't find too many good docs on.
I have two servers running CentOS in a cluster, with each server running two CF 8.1 servers in a cluster on each server. So I have 4 CF prod servers.
The problem you will find is that the admin server interface can stop/start a service, but it uses the same jvm.config file as with thich the admin server was started. I have searched a lot, but couldn't find a solution to start the servers from the admin console. So I start them vir the "service" option on the OS level.
So I build a script were I can start each server with its own jvm.config file. Madness to allocate 1Gig of mem for the admin server just so that the other servers can get 1Gig as well.
Here is my startup script:
[root@clu1 logs]# cat /etc/init.d/coldfusion8multi
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 345 90 14
# description: starts the MultiServer cfusion instance
if [ -f /etc/rc.common ]; then
. /etc/rc.common
fi
# Start ColdFusion 8 Multiserver
# Because this is a start up script, and will be run by root, we use a specific
# user (the user who installed) to run ColdFusion
CF_DIR="/opt/cfusion/clu1_man"
RUNTIME_USER=""cfusion""
su $RUNTIME_USER -c "$CF_DIR/bin/jrun -start cfusion >& $CF_DIR/logs/cfusion-event.log &"
su $RUNTIME_USER -c "$CF_DIR/bin/jrun -config $CF_DIR/bin/jvm.config_clu1 -start clu1_01 >& $CF_DIR/logs/cfusion-event.log &"
su $RUNTIME_USER -c "$CF_DIR/bin/jrun -config $CF_DIR/bin/jvm.config_clu2 -start clu1_02 >& $CF_DIR/logs/cfusion-event.log &"
Hope it helps a bit.

Starting coldfusion server on fedora core6

I am having problems in starting the coldfusion mx server.
Coldfusion has been installed but problems in starting it. After
installation i got this message.
To continue with your installation, go to
/opt/coldfusionmx/bin and type
"./coldfusion start" to start your server.
I get the code below when trying to start the server when
logged in as root. Could some please help?

you did not say which cf version you are running....
for cfmx7/cf8 on win xp:
go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
in the list of services look for Coldfusion services (should
be 3-4
there). the main one is called Application Server. make sure
the status
next to the name shows "Started". if not, double-click on
that service
and in the window that opens select Automatic for Startup
Type, click
Start button and then OK.
NOTE: even with Automatic Startup selected i still have CF
not starting
with win xp sometimes on my dev computer and have to manually
start it.
If the status of the service in the Services panel shows
"Started", but
you can't view any .cfm pages, then try restarting the
service, and if
that does not help look into re-configuring the web server
connectors...

Starting ColdFusion server: error, no known vms (check for currupt jvm.cfg file)

just installed ColdFusion, from adode flex 3 training from the sourse. But when I check to see if it works correctly by entering jrun -start cfusion in the command prom I get the error, no known vms (check for currupt jvm.cfg file). I tried uninstalling Java and reinstalling but nothing changed.
I don't know what I need to do to get it working can anyone help?
many thanks

When you say you can't open the jvm.config file, what exactly does this mean? Is the file zero-length? How have you tried to open it? It's a text file, and should be opened in Notepad.

Automatically starting ColdFusion when server boots up.

We have multi-home ColdFusion running under Jrun4 installed on our 64 bit Solaris 10 boxes working with a 32 bit Apache 2.0 web server.
When ever these boxes boot up (as happend after a recent power failure), we have to manually start all the ColdFusion instances. Neither the script that ships with ColdFusion nor putting the command line "{jrun_root}/bin/jrun start {server_name}" into the boxes start up scripts seem to work.
Can anybody advise us.

I can't remember the exact syntax, but you might need a nohup parameter in there so the CF process doesn't get killed as soon as the shell running the start command ends.

Cannot start Coldfusion 9 Application Server Service

Note that this is for a Dev server. Not vital, but super annoying. I found my machine had been restarted due to Lumension. This is normal. However, since I imported a .car file from the old CF8 server directly to this CF9 Dev server I had not rebooted or restared the CF9 service.
I found these error messages in the Event viewer:
The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service could not be started. Check the server "coldfusion" log files for more information.
and
The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service terminated with service-specific error The system cannot find the file specified..
I checked the JRUN logs and cannot find any logs pertaining to anything matching today's timestamp nor anything out of place that appears to be the cause. Nothing in CF logs either, mostly because CF never got up to running status so no logs could be generated.
I thought I found the culprit in this post, http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:61223 ... but the fix had no effect. I didn't find anything in my search using grep outside of the JRUN temp folder which a single .xml file had an invalid Coldfusion8 path. Fixing the path or deleting the offending temp files didn't cure the problem.
I've also tried moving all the root files that was moved into the /ColdFusion9/wwwwroot/ directory out and trying to start the service, but same error and failure occurs.
I have not tried reinstalling. I did install the CF9.0.1 update and it was working just dandy until this restart. There are no other computer problems experienced that I can tell and not other errors were found in the event viewer.

Thanks! I now have an error that I can chase and hopefully diagnose.
"Error: no known VMs. (check for corrupt jvm.cfg file)" was the exposed error.
With a little big of the Goog I ended up with a solution from another CF user experiencing the same joys: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/795168
Found the problem to be as I suspected some incorrect path. It was the java.home variable that was incorrect. java.home=<IncorrectDrive>:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre I changed that to java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre and it fired up just fine. Solved!

Help needed in starting Coldfusion

I have download coldfusion trial version and I would like
very much to know how to start cold fusion and start using
it.

Can u let me know on which OS the cold fusion is installed?
According to that in case of windows u can restart it using
command prompt
1) go to the path cf_root/bin and there type a command
jrun.exe -start cfusion
Note :- cfusion is the service name that has to be started.
2) In case to start the JRun
go to path cf_root/bin and jrun.exe -start admin
Check by netstat the ports assigned to the coldfusion server
must be in listen state.

Is there a guide for starting coldfusion development on Ubuntu?

I have successfully installed coldfusion on Ubuntu 13.10, but as a newbie to Ubuntu I am looking for a guide on the best way to continue from here?
For example, I can view the CFADMIN at "http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm", but am having difficulties viewing test documents placed in the wwwroot folder.
Wayne

Dear Anit
Thank you so much for all the help! The general guide on the differences immediately solved one problem once I changed the name of "application.cfm" to "Application.cfm"
I am far from a "power user", but am enjoying the learning process. Inevitably I find that most of my encountered problems are associatied with permissions.
For a few brief years I was a cf developer, but now work in the tennis field at a large club. I developed an application which saved me hours and hours of work, and this application has become a key element in the whole summer program. Unfortunately, after migrating to CF10 from CF9 I can no longer connect to smtp.gmail.com (after hours and hours of searching for a work-around). Luckily I still had the same application on an older laptop, which was using CF9 ... and so I was still able to work as I wanted.
I decided to partition my new laptop to see if CF10 would work as I needed on Ubuntu.... which explains my intial posting.
I am very happy to report that, with your help, I have had success. For the record this is what I did
after installing Ubuntu I followed this great guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache-and-coldfusion-9-on-ubuntu-9.04 (of course installing the downloaded CF10 and not CF9)
BUT, the apache connector didn't work for me. (this was before the above posting of Anit's ... and as a Ubuntu newbe I couldn't see any way forward)
so I uninstalled coldfusion and reinstalled ... as a standalone server
no problem at all viewing the CF Admin page
after installing and running msql, I imported my club database and application files
not a problem creating the appropriate datasource within CF Admin
BUT, I couldn't view my application in a browser after moving it to the "wwwroot" folder
finally I (fortuitously) changed the permissions on this application folder so that I had appropriate rights ... which had a GUI allowing me to do so, otherwise I think I never would have done it alone!
Immediately I could view index.cfm, but then I would have a DATASOURCE error when I drilled down
Once I saw that "application.cfm" had to have a capital "A" i.e. "Aplication.cfm" everything worked
went to "mail" under CF Admin. Verifying my mail server was at first annoying. Port 465 with TLS checked didn't work ... but then port 587 verified!
a test email to myself using my application in the browser proved successful...yay!
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
Again Anit, thank you for your help!

Coldfusion 10 will not start

I am running CF 10 on Redhat Linux 6 and everything was working fine until recently, but now I cannot get CF to start up. I had created a datasource to connect to a unidata database and it was not working, so I needed a newer version of the database driver. I got the new version of the driver (the 2 files needed for the driver are unijdbc.jar and asjava.zip). I placed the files in the location where I've always placed them while using CF 8:
/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/classes/unijdbc.jar,/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/ww wroot/WEB-INF/classes/asjava.zip,"%CLASSPATH%"
and set the class path in the CF Administrator accordingly, then stopped and started CF, and it came up fine, but the datasource to unidata would not verify (see my other recent forum post) -- in reply to that post, someone had recommended I put the drivers in a different location, so I did that, and set the classpath accordingly:
/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/unijdbc.jar,/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/as java.zip,"%CLASSPATH%"
then stopped and started CF, and it came up without problem, but datasource still would not connect.
So, I made one more change to the classpath and took the "" off the end so it looks like this:
/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/unijdbc.jar,/opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/as java.zip,%CLASSPATH%
and then instead of doing "service coldfusion_10 stop" and "service coldfusion_10 start" as I had been doing, I decided to try "service coldfusion_10 restart". It said it was stopping CF but then could not start it. I don't have the exact error but it did end with this:
The ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion is starting up and will be available shortly.
There has been an error starting ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion, please check the logs.
So I thought perhaps the "restart" left a pid or something hanging and it did not completely shut down, so it could not restart, although it would not let me do the stop command either, nor were there any coldfusion processes running on the server. So I decided to reboot the server to see if that would help, it did not -- after the server came back up, I tried starting coldfusion again, and keep getting this error:
[root@ctc3650z selinux]# service coldfusion_10 start
Starting ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion ...
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'

The ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion is starting up and will be available shortly.
There has been an error starting ColdFusion 10 server instance named cfusion, please check the logs.
[root@ctc3650z selinux]#
I cannot get into the coldfusion administrator to change the classpath, but it does not appear to like the asjava.zip file, which it had no problem wtih before (is same file). I do not understand this error:
sh: /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/runtime/lib/asjava.zip: cannot execute binary file
Also it says "please check the logs" ... I have looked at all the logs under /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/logs and nothing in them references this error.

I fixed it myself!! I could not get back into the CF Admin to undo the syntax change on the classpath on the Java/JVM page, since CF was down, so I dug around on the server and found this file: /opt/coldfusion10/cfusion/bin/jvm.config which is the contents of that screen. I edited it with vi and undid the syntax change I did, then I was able to start up coldfusion. Still can't get my unidata datasource to connect, but that's another issue...

Coldfusion 8 service will not start. Server log is ending with "Starting license..." (Emergency)

Our server has gone down and the Coldfusion 8 service will not start. There is no information in any of the logs for anything today since its gone down. Ive checked the root logs directory as well as the runtime logs directory.
The server.log is the only file being updated and it shows "Starting logging..." and then "Starting license..." and hangs. The service does not start and the log gets nothing more after this point. Memory continues to go up slowly, we've increased the start timeout tremendously with no effect. There is little to no CPU usage.
Our server is licensed and has never had this problem before. It is the standard version.
Our server is completely down and we are losing clients. From what we can tell a windows update occurred, which we have since removed in case it was the issue, and when the server restarted CF did not come back. We have been working on this for hours with no results.
Please help and let me know anything you may need which will help diagnose our issue.
Thanks

So that others who see this know the solution.
I started Coldfusion from the command line: c:\Coldfusion8\runtime\bin\jrun -start coldfusion. This brought up all the commands as it worked through them. From that we found that CF was looking for license.properties in the C:\Coldfusion8\runtime\lib folder. We found a copy in the C:\Coldfusion8\lib folder. For now we've left it running under my account and then after hours are going to try and see if the service will run now that we've copied that properties file to the other direcory.
Probably simple to everyone on here but was new and odd to us. Wanted to put what we found out here in case it happens to anyone else.

Hi everyone, it's hard to believe that there is not someone
out there in this high tech community that can help me with the
above problem. I talked to someone at adobe, but all they said is
that it would cost me $400 to have a tech resolve it over the phone
