Trouble Upgrading CF7 To CF8

Hello All,
We're having trouble trying to upgrade from CF7 to CF8 on a
Unix box (Sun). We ran an upgrade installation of CF8 so as to keep
our current settings. We gave the installer the same JRun path we
used for CF7. But Apache continues to talk to CF7. When we start
CF8 and shutdown CF7 and hit our CF apps we get "500 Server"
errors. I checked the JRun section of Apache's httpd.conf file.
JRun references all point to the where JRun should have been
overwritten by the new install. I tried running:
jrun_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws Apache
-dir apache_root/conf -coldfusion -v
and got the error,
"The JRun server(s) found on host 127.0.0.1 must be upgraded to
use this version of the Web Server Configuration tool. I then
checked to see if there were a mod_jrun20.so somewhere in
jrun_root/runtime. But, I didn't find one. There's only the
one in
jrun_root/lib/wsconfig/1 which I assume to be the one that's
part of the CF7 install.

If you have the space, and CFMX7 is not running, then that
should be fine. There is no "best practice" link or technote that I
could find to address your concern, but if you want to uninstall
CFMX 7, you can just backup the CFusionMX7 directory and uninstall.
your CFMX7 settings are stored in your CFusionMX7/lib directory
under the neo-*.xml files. More info on this technote:

    you are out of luck, I think.
    Not using the exact spec for memory wil cause trouble.
    When you have the original in (1066MHz) and add another with higher speed (1333) there is a (small) chance that the higher speed one is "clocked down" and will work, but expect kernel panics often. Most of the time it will not work.
    If there is no standard spec ram in at all, the mac will not start.
    Luckily ram is cheap nowadays. Send it back.
    The best way to buy is researching the Manufacturers' site and use the configurator, then go shopping, if you want.
    Use only respected brands: Crucial, OWC, personally have not so good experience with some other brands. And remember "pennywise is poundfoulish".
    I think Amazon will take it back and refund. Very unlikely that the memory is harmed. Ask them to take it back.

    Hi, not positive, but it sounds like maybe the Optical drive is flaky, but a lomg shot...
    I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterpretable Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Coexistence of CF7 and CF8 on one server

    I have CFMX 7.2 running on a server using the external web
    server, IIS6. I have installed CF8 in the multiserver configuration
    onto the same server. What I read is that for these to coexist the
    CF8 needs to be installed on the built-in web server (also what CF
    apparently automatically does when the multiserver configuration is
    installed).
    One of my questions is this - if I have CF7 using the
    external web server can I NOT run the web configuration tool and
    connect my CF8 instances to the external web server also?
    Another question is this - CF8 uses the webroot of
    jrun4\servers\instancename\instance-ear\instance-war . I want the
    developers to store their documents somewhere else. I have done the
    virtual mapping in the jrun-web.xml but I can't get anything to
    work when I do that. Is there anyway to point something to the
    location of the users files and have them resolve them on a
    website?

    You can get ColdFusion 7 and 8 running in both server install
    mode connected via an external webserver and also via the JRun
    multiserver setup. Here's some links to guides on doing both which
    should help. Note they'll both need some manually config file
    changing, you can't do it all with the wsconfig util.

  • Trouble Upgrading to GB 2.0.2

    I'm having trouble upgrading to Garageband version 2.0.2 I downloaded the installer but whenever i click on it a window opens up that says: 'an eligible GarageBand application was not found in /Applications'
    Any help is greatly appriciated,

    no i do not have garageband 2, i didnt know you had to buy it, but the whole reason i tryed to download it was because since i upgraded to Tiger my garage band wont play real instruments. The description of the 2.0.2 update said that it improves compatibility with Mac OS X Tiger, so i figured i should try that. But i guess i need to BUY garageband 2 in order to use that update. But does that mean in order for me to use my garageband effectivly again i need to BUY another product (garageband 2)?

  • Trouble upgrading to 10.6.1

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble upgrading to iTunes 10.6.1.  Earlier today, I opened iTunes, and received an error message that "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  Still not sure why this happened. I followed a workaround I found by essentially renaming a previous iTunes library. 
    Now, I open iTunes, and when I click on "software update," it is indicated that I can update to 10.6.1.  However, this takes me to the main Mac Software Update program, but unfortunately I'm told that there are no updates for my computer.  The "current version" I am using is iTunes 10.5.1. 
    Any advice on how I can actually upgrade to 10.6.1? 

    Are you able to update using a .dmg from the Apple website?

  • I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried Tools -- Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3  years without difficulty

    I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with
    Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried
    Tools --> Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3+
    years without difficulty; I have lots of ram, hard drive and speed.
    Thanks for your input

    One step listed in the link to "helpful" info, was (when Iooked 30 seconds ago), to search for and download the newest version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes on Win 7 machine and was prompted to update today, 10.22.2014, and did so without a problem. Having said that, however, it looks as though the latest iTunes (12.0.1.26) is finally doing what the last version refused to do, which is to actually fully populate all my playlists on my 6, but there is a hitch: 12.0.1.26 will NOT allow you to show the sidebar unless you click on "playlists," that is, you cannot keep it open all the time.
    And, when plugging the 6 into the computer, the phone icon shows up but clicking on it does nada. What does work, for some strange reason, is clicking on the tiny icon (just under the "Store" menu link at top screen) which looks much like a tiny barrel, someone's idea of external drives, I suppose. The phone then comes up, with the list of stuff on the phone just under it where the sidebar used to be. Sync is now restricted to the lower right of the screen.
    Apparently, you will also need to update your iPhone's software as well; some friends with the 4 and 4s, however, had troubles with them after upgrading. The message from Silicon Valley (I can see Apple from my backyard, ha ha) is apparently, "keep upgrading," folks, get rid of those old phones.

  • Cfdocument printing issues: cf7 vs cf8

    Here's what happens when I create a pdf with
    <cfdocument> on CF7 vs CF8:
    CF7
    The generated pdf is 16 pages and 87.6 KB. When I print the
    pdf the progress bar in acrobat fills up immediately. The total
    size in the print spooler is 1.18MB
    CF8
    The generated pdf is 16 pages and 622 KB. When I print the
    pdf the progress bar in acrobat takes almost 3 minutes to get to
    100%. The total size in the print spooler is a whopping 75.5MB
    I am using fontembed="false", but that seems to have no
    effect on the actual filesize either. Also, on the CF8 document I
    can click all over the place and get these 1/2" x 1/2" blue cubes
    that show up. They are exactly like the ones you get if you click
    on an image, only they are in random areas all over the place. One
    other thing, when I save the CF8 pdf, there is a progress bar in
    the lower right that says "optimized for fast web viewing". It
    doesn't do that for CF7.
    What is going on here, and what can be done? Users are not
    able to print anything out in a timely fashion. Thanks.
    EDIT:
    If I don't import my 3KB css file, the pdf behaves like it
    does in CF7, minus the formatting of course

    There was a background image in the css that was causing the
    issue, but it was only a problem when using @import to get the css,
    and only in CF8.

  • What are the recommended steps to upgrade from CF7 to CF8

    I have read all of the documentation for how to upgrade from
    CF 7.02 to CF 8. Well there is actually only one blurb in all of
    the CF docs.
    "Upgrade installation You can upgrade from ColdFusion MX,
    ColdFusion MX 6.1, and ColdFusion MX 7. When upgrading from
    ColdFusion MX, ColdFusion MX 6.1, or ColdFusion MX 7, the installer
    preserves the existing settings and installs in a new directory,
    automatically assigning ports that do not conflict with the
    existing installation."
    OK that sounds simple enough, so i went ahead and installed
    it. Well it did not work, now I am stuck somewhere between 7 and 8.
    My basic step, as I can best recall at 1:00AM.
    * Select Multi server Configuration
    * Select install path, I used D:\JRun4
    * This is where my existing cf7 install was located
    * installer told me port 8300 was being used so it gave me
    port 8306 instead
    * Selected d: for ColdFusion8DotNetService install path
    * Select Passwords for admin and rds
    * installed cf
    * received error after install
    (Adobe_ColdFusion_8_InstallLog.log)
    ANT Script Error:
    Status: ERROR
    Additional Notes: ERROR - jrun.xmlUnable to remove existing
    file D:\JRun4\bin\jrun.exe
    * rebooted
    * can't login to cfadmin at port 8306
    * tried to login to cfadmin at port 8300, everythin works
    * it appears the cf7 services are still running,
    * didn't notice any new cf8 services, excpet the dotnet
    stuff
    Any assistance would be appriciated.

    Essentially CF comes with the updates that will become JRun 4
    Updater 7
    integrated into it. (The beta of Updater 7 is under way).

    Use the CAR file, XML file formats have changed between

    What you are describing is a simultaneous update of JRun and
    CF. For
    just an update of CF you need to redeploy the CF EAR file as
    described
    in the JRun manual. For just an update of JRun you have to
    wait until
    updater 7 is released (or join the beta and file bugs if you
    don't like
    the procedure).

    Use a CAR file for that.

    In place upgrades are never clean. In my book, an upgrade
    means
    rebuilding from scratch.

  • Upgrade Path from CF7 to CF8

    Hi,
    I have to upgrade an existing production server from CF7
    Standard Edition to CF8 Standard Edition and have not found any
    upgrade instructions specific to this version. I am running this on
    a Win2003 Server using IIS as the web server.
    Is it as simple as downloading the latest build of CF8,
    installing as a standard edition and supply my upgrade Serial
    Number?

  • Cf7 to cf8 - uninstall cf7?

    I can't remember why, but when I installed CF7, I left CF
    MX(6) on my system - think it said I needed to leave it there, but
    maybe I'm wrong. So I'm ordering CF8 (all standard versions) soon
    and wondering if I can uninstall 7 (and 6) once 8 is up and
    running. I've looked through the only Installation document I could
    find (112 pages) and couldn't find a thing on upgrading.

    If you know that you want to uninstall all previous versions
    of CF with
    your upgrade, it is usually simpler and cleaner to uninstall
    them before
    the upgrade. AS ksmith said, doing so afterwards can make the
    CFIDE
    folder disappear. You just need your license key of the
    previous
    version to enter into a form box when the upgrade installer
    asks for it.
    Some people like to keep the previous version running in
    parallel to the
    new version for validation purposes. But if you are not going
    to do
    this, you might as well go with the clean install.

    After the upgrade a lot of apps didn't works anymore (nicotine, downloaderx ecc), everytime giving the same error:
    ImportError: libXfixes.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I've solved downgrading to the old version of gtk2 and libglade, anyway, i've looked for libXfixes.so.3 around and i've found something intresting here:
    http://www.webservertalk.com/message661337.html
    It seems that libXfixes.so.3 only exist in xorg 6.8.1 but  i cannot upgrade my xorg because of the ati driver, and, probably, xfree86 users will have the same problem.
    Does someone know how to solve it??

    Ops... i haven't done it, and i don't know how to do it!  :oops:  :oops:
    morphus: have u had trouble with ati-driver upgrading to kernel 2.6.10?? i've just found a patch that  make everything works and i've added it to the PKGBUILD from Link Dupont, you can find that patch and more infos here: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33797225
    ...ok i know... i'm just trying to speak about something else ...
    Is there a form to fill or i only have to send an email to the package mantainer??? 
    Let me know (and sorry for my english)
    greetings and happy new year!!

  • Trouble upgrading from PSE 3.0 to PSE 8.0

    I'm getting an unusable format of my ver 8.0 when upgrading from ver 3.0. My 3.0 PHOTO browser is OK but my 3.0 FILE browser is a mess because I moved many files by "getting" pictures and "deleting from catalog" rather than using the FILE browser in Editor. Does ver 8.0 look at the PHOTO browser or the FILE browser when installing. If this is the problem, is there a way to re-initialize or update the ver 3.0 file browser before I install ver 8.0. I'm using Windows XP SP3. I'll appreciate any help. I'm stuck.

    I have used Windows Explorer to managemy directories and files for some time. Last night while trying to get a handle on what was happening I found two troubling things. First, adding or deleting categories and sub-categories in PSE 3 Organizer does not add or delete them in the Editor File Browser. Not having used the File Editor for some time I never discovered this. I'm sure that somewhere, early on in my use of PSE 3, I found information that lead me to believed that the two browsers held the same information.
    The second thing has also escaped me for some time because I ignored the File Browser. There was a second copy of the Documents folder and the My Pictures folder in the File Browser. These were relics from a long time ago when I had placed shortcuts to both the Documents folder and the My Pictures folder on my desktop because it made it easier to access them. As I grew more familiar with using the program I realized that a shortcut to Windows Explorer was all I needed. So, I sent both the Documents and Pictures shortcuts to the Recycle bin. That, of course, as I found with Categories and Sub-categories, did not remove the short cuts from the File Browser. I was not aware that the shortcuts were still in the File Browser. All of this simply means that when I tried to upgrade to PSE 8 it was confused. When I removed PSE 8 after the bad install things got more scrambled.
    I have removed the second copies of Documents and Pictures and am now starting on the, I'm afraid, long process of getting my files in order. It's clear to me why the two browsers didn't agree. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
