Upgraded Java, CF still using older version - how?

This server is Win2008 fully patched, IIS 7.0 in good shape - CF 9.0  no patches installed - which we obviously want to fix. When we tried to install patches, we got this:
To try and resolve this, our first mistake was installing Java version 8 (1.8) - which we-now-know doesn't work with 9.0.  What I'm not following is why CF settings reports still using 1.6. From what I've read and can see in java.config, it's storing/accessing its own JRE in CF directories. 2 questions: 1) How can I access the security settings for this JRE so I can get patches installed 2) If not possible, am I right in thinking we have to uninstall 8, reinstall the server version of 6 (1.6), point CF at the server version of Java so we can change the security settings (with restarts at the proper places) so we can start getting security patches installed? Any alterations to those steps?
Once I get to patch 4 we'll be upgrading to Java 7 - does CF 9.01 fully patched work with Java 1.8? I see Java 7 is due to expire April 2015.

Coldfusion uses its own version of java by default. You can, however, change this to use the version installed on the server when you download it off of the internet. Here is a blog post about this process - How to change/upgrade JDK version of ColdFusion server — Adobe ColdFusion Blog.
Note as well just because a new version of Java is installed doesnt mean that the old version is gone. Major java revisions dont upgrade, like .NET it just installs the different version. Sometimes when you install Java 7 or 8 it will leave the old legacy versions which the browser will still try and use. Usually, after the Java install is done, it asks if you want to remove the outdated versions. You can use the official Java uninstall tool to scan for old versions and remove them for you - Java Uninstall Tool
Coldfusion 9 wont support anything higher then Java 7. Java 8 has only just been made available to the most recent version of Coldfusion in the last 6 months or so. Like Java 7 soon, Coldfusion 9 is end of life and support for it stopped last year.
Finally, you don't need Java to update CF9. Java is used for the browse dialogues to find the files. If you have already downloaded the hotfix jars, just copy and paste the path & file name in to the Update File box and click Submit Changes. This will do the same thing and install the hotfix.

  • If I buy upgrade, can I still use previous version?

    I am sure this question is answered on the Adobe site or in the forums somewhere, but I can't find the answer.  I'm hoping that someone can point me to the official Adobe policy.
    I am thinking of upgrading from CS4 to CS5, and one of the considerations which would affect my decision would be the ability to keep and use the older version on my 2nd computer (a laptop).  Is this allowed?   Currently I have to de-activate Photoshop on my desktop PC and activate it on my laptop in order to use it while travelling, and I always forget to do that, so I end up not using Photoshop on my laptop at all.

    This question is only partly answered. His subject line question is not fully answered. His specific variation of the question is answered though. I am still trying to find the answer to his Subject line question. If an owner of an eligible older version of an adobe product buys the upgrade version. Can you keep using the previous version and then install and use the new upgrade copy on a different computer?
    The way this was answered so far, sounds like regardless of the upgrade, that a single version copy is allowed to be installed on a desktop and laptop for mobility reasons.

  • Why still use old versions of Oracle??

    Hi All,
    I was just wondering what are some reasons why organizations continue to use older versions of Oracle like 7 and 8i when we are now at version 11g?
    I would love to hear what everyone has to say.
    Thanks,
    JrOraDBA

    >
    Mogens Norgaard (Oracle Insights) says that most users only need version
    7.3 and that advances since then are for the UPS's and eBays of this world.
    Disagree. Totally.
    Oracle OPS cannot be compared to Oracle RAC. 7.3's partition views cannot be compared to
    proper partitioning. And then what about features such as FGAC, rman, ASM, Apex, materialised
    views - just to mention a few?I readily accept that Oracle is a good deal more sophisticated now than it was in
    version 7. I think that Norgaard - a man with no axe to grind with Oracle and who
    is a highly respected Oracle database practitioner - is talking about an "average Joe Sixpack
    run-of-the-mill OLTP system".
    Why do you think he made this point -
    "Most customers really only need Oracle version 7.3 with respect to features"? (p 92 of the book).
    All of these we use. In production. For 24x7 corporate mission critical systems. It would be
    laughable to suggest that these could run on Oracle 7 and provide as a robust, flexible,
    performant and scalable solution as using 10g or 11g.I accept this also - it's just that Norgaard is saying that "most" customers don't need
    Oracle after 7.3.
    I would tend to agree - in particular, the (totally free) functionality available
    from, say, PostgreSQL and/or Firebird gives you more than this.
    Open Source databases? Even more laughable. There is no way that these can compare
    to Oracle. Not when doing intensive processing. Not when needing scalability, availability
    and redundancy.Look [url http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/application-server-benchmark-proves-postgresql-is-the-best-enterprise-database-server-new-specjappserver2004-cost-metric-introduced-too/]here and in particular at the post of Clemens Eisserer
    Open source databases have come on in leaps and bounds in recent
    years and represent a value for money solution in many cases where
    an Oracle licence would be prohibitive.
    I have a SE database on a small 2 CPU server that at this very moment is dealing
    with up to 12,000 rows inserted every second into a single table.. after which that table
    (an hour later containing around 40 million rows) is processed. You want me to believe
    that an Open Source database can do the same? Then you will need to prove that cause
    I don't think for a single moment that Open Source databases like mySQL, PostgreSQL
    and Firebird are anywhere as capable and able as Oracle.Also, take a look at VoltDB - an Open Source high-performance database from
    Michael Stonebraker - SQL and ACID in a novel new design.
    There are "Lies, damned lies, statistics" and then* there are database benchmarks.
    How big are your rows? I'm running Hammerora at the moment against an Oracle 10
    XE instance and I'm getting Y no. of rows (I don't think that I'm allowed release any benchmarking
    that I do "into the wild") inserted/second - how meaningful is that? What is the disk setup?
    [url http://www.ib-aid.com/articles/item104]See here you have a very thorough
    benchmark with inserts of 24K rows/sec into a Firebird database.
    Table 3: Loading operations Description Value Time to load
    ~70 hours
    Total records inserted
    6.2 billions
    Average insertion speed
    24500 records/second
    Average record size
    146 bytes (min 13 bytes, max – 600 bytes)
    Transactions
    646489I don't want to get into a religious war here ;) - particularly since this forum is hosted by
    Oracle - I was just trying to explain to the OP why certain customers aren't interested in
    the latest "bells and whistles" version of Oracle - 1 reason is that powerful software
    is available for free elsewhere - although in terms of features, Oracle does have
    the honour of the "kitchen-sink" implementation with a rich feature-set.

  • Force using older versions JRE & Java Plug-in as default version from IE

    We have a web application that relies on JRE on client machines. It works properly with verion 1.4.2.xxx. Recently some of the users got updated to Version 1.5.0 automatically (auto-update feature). Now the web application doesn't work as expected on those machines.
    I want to know if there is any specific way I can force a machine to use an older version as a default version i.e. without completely removing the new version.
    I already tried various tricks like changing registry settings, Env Variables, etc. The default version changes when accessed through command prompt (java -version), but when I go back to the web page, it still loads the New version.
    Appreciate your advise. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this issue. I am having a simlar issue where we have 3 JRE versions on our terminal server.
    1.4.2
    1.5.9
    1.6.3
    But we would like the browsing JRE to remain using 1.4.2.
    An ideas would be great .
    Thanks

  • How i can use older version of softwares in my i phone

    How i can install some older version of softwares in my i fone becoz i dont want to Update My IOS from 6 to IOS 7.....
    I want some softwares of older versions....but i couldnt find out those sotwares like....
    IBOOKS,SKYVIEW........because these softwares want only IOS7 or more........so they are not installing in my phone.......
    and it is so ridiculous that i m using i phone but i cant downlod ibooks or some other sotwares which needs only IOS7 or more......
    Apple should also provide older versions of softwares for all people because people dont have too much time to update everyday hi or her ifone....
                             Thank YOu.........

    This may help for some apps if the vendor is supporting it: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5919
    But sooner of later, you will likely need to upgrade to iOS 7, or risk the device being left behind when it comes to fucntionality.

  • Can't use older versions of Skype anymore?

    Alright, so I hate when things update, and usually I just put up with it for new innovative features. I was very content with Skype 5, and the upgrade to 6.0 was frustrating, but I dealt with it. Never at any point during my use of 6 did I prefer it to 5, even as time went on. 
    Finally, we get to today. I was forced to download Skype 7, and it is the most horrible, buggy, frustrating thing ever. I can barely do anything without it randomly freezing, or spiking in memory usage. I'm using the right version for my computer, my computer is very up to date on hardware, and I've had no software problems with ANY other program to this magnatude. And that's BESIDE the fact that Skype 7 just looks DISGUSTING. The organization of my recent messages and contacts is downright attrocious and I can barely keep my recent replies in check.
    The worst part is that I can't downgrade to a better version. After STRUGGLING to find an older version, it just tells me that Skype can't connect. Are you serious? I'm being FORCED to use this useless piece of junk? I've used a LOT of Skype (at least 5 hours a day daily since I got it.) And I think this is the last straw for me. I don't know what to do, I can't use this version, it's terrible.
    The question I'm posing in this thread, is how do I use an older version of Skype. If the answer is "I don't." Then I'm uninstalling and never coming back. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have the same problem. This morning my skype decided it was time to update itself. Even though (of course), it shouldn't even check for updates or ask me to update. Or at least these are my settings...
    However, this has happened before. But before, when skype updated, I could just uninstall it and install the version that I want to (keeping an exe with the proper version always did the trick). The things is that when I tried to install my older version after uninstalling, skype installer says that servers are down. Meaning that skype has stopped working with these older versions. They are now forbidden to install (even if you find an installer somewhere and OldVersion and OldApps have stopped support for skype).
    I am seriously considering forgetting about skype and using an alternative. Some people have mentioned the emoticons and the general layout of the new version that disgusts them. But I will also add that the way we used to send pictures over skype is now changed. And it's horrible! Sending a link with the shared photo is just waste of time. You'd need to open a browser, log in, open the photo and download it just so you can have it on your computer (wtf??). Adding to this is the decrease of its quality and resolution and the missing name of the picture.
    Thank you for reading (a potato).

  • Upgrade guide for users of older versions of Flash Media Server?

    I'm looking around to see if anyone has sort of done a crossover or upgrade guide for people with older FMS installations.
    We've been running the server since at least version 2, and haven't had to change much in upgrading to subsequent versions.
    In doing so, we hadn't had to change to some of Adobe's newer ways of doing things with regards to configuration files, etc.
    In setting up a test 4.5.x server, though... it appears we will likely want to really change the way we are doing things.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive site that would sort of cover topics in a "if you did this this way before, do it this way now" sort of instructions.
    Thanks

    we just moved from 3.5 to 4.03 and now the sound has 'hiccups' - looked thru forum and made some changes but still happening - be nice like you said if there was a 'your using this version, and this is what you need to do in the next' area

  • Can't get the upgrade to over-write the older version

    i have tried to upgrade firefox but the older version keeps coming up. How do i get the newest version to over-write the older - according to my info i am using 25.0.1 which seems to be the newest version but i have some website saying i am using an older version. I have windows vista 2007

    Also, the "FBSMTWB" that appears in your current user agent string (you'll see it in about:config when you venture in there) is associated with an extension that many people find annoying -- unfortunately I can't recall which one it was.
    If you haven't reviewed your extensions for a while, you might want to see whether any deserve to be disabled or removed, particularly if they are nonessential or unrecognized. To open the Add-ons page, either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Hope that prevents your user agent from being changed back to that old version.

  • Can I still use old versions of itunes producer

    Hi.
    I recently purchased a mac mini (circa 2007) for the sole purpose of uploading epub files I already have to the iBook store.  I'm using os 10.6.8 with an intel processor and ram and processor speed in excess of what Apple lists as minimum requirements.  However when I download itunes producer 2.9 I get an error message that my machine won't support the program. 
    I've found a website where I can download older versions of itunes producer --  can I use, for example, vers. 2.2 of producer to still upload content?
    I'm a long-time windows guy and brand new to the world of mac.
    Thanks

    Like Windoze,  older  equipment is not able to deal with  updates intended  for "newer" equipment.
    The answer is, if  you can find older software it may be OK.
    I suggest you look at the  top of this page > Apple Support Compunities, and  scroll down to find the Mac Mini discussion group.

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...
