While those instructions certainly may work, they involve editing the
registry to trick the wsconfig tool. It's worth noting that there's an
alternative approach, which has worked for me whenever I've had problems
with wsconfig - for example, after applying Updater 2 to CFMX running
against Apache 2.0.43.
The wsconfig utility is a runnable jar file. When you run it, it extracts
the appropriate module, places it in a directory, and configures your web
server to use the module. You can do this yourself, manually.
1. Copy \cfusionmx\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar to wsconfig.zip.
2. Open in your favorite zip utility.
3. Extract the appropriate module.
4. Edit your web server configuration to use the module.
Of course, you have to be able to find the appropriate module, but they're
pretty clearly named within the jar file. You also have to know how to set
up your web server to use the module. In IIS, you can simply add the
appropriate ISAPI extension mapping in the Internet Service Manager; in
Apache, you have to add some lines like this to httpd.conf (note that there
will be differences depending on where you've placed the module):
LoadModule jrun_module "C:/CFusionMX/runtime/lib/wsconfig/2/mod_jrun20.so"
<IfModule mod_jrun20.c>
JRunConfig Verbose false
JRunConfig Apialloc false
JRunConfig Ssl false
JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false
JRunConfig Serverstore
"C:/CFusionMX/runtime/lib/wsconfig/2/jrunserver.store"
JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51010
#JRunConfig Errorurl <optionally redirect to this URL on errors>
AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws
</IfModule>
Now, there's one missing piece, but so far it hasn't made any difference
that I've seen. That's the creation of a "/jrunscripts" web server mapping.
When you run wsconfig with IIS 5, that gets mapped to the directory
containing the module. Does anyone know exactly what this is for? It doesn't
seem to matter if it's omitted, as far as I've seen.
Finally, I mentioned setting up the connector module as an ISAPI extension.
It can also be set up as an ISAPI filter, but I've stuck to using the ISAPI
extension, personally.
