I really appreciate all the help you guys have given me, specially Chris Kief who did a remote session on my desktop yesterday, and Dave Watts who has suggest numerous things ... but none of it helps me connect CFMX to IIs.
Here's what I'm up to now .. I have installed CFMX and can operate under the CFMX web server on port 8500. That's cool. But I can't get it to connect to IIs, and the fault is in the package I downloaded from Macromedia's site. Don't tell me different because I have seen it a dozen times now. What happens is that the install package extracts a file called jrunwin32.dll which gets a create timestamp as at the moment it's extracted from the install package. Later, when you need to connect to IIs, the following message is logged when the connect routine aborts: [quote] C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrunwin32.dll newer than JAR file C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar so not extracted [/quote] This means that none of the following events in that routine occurs, including creating a folder called \1\ which is supposed to contain jrun.dll. The file jrunwin32.dll is included in the download. It is extracted by the install routine, which promptly falls over on its own file. THAT is a flaw in the install routine, surely. It's nothing to do with my machine. Isnt that correct? Or am I reading it wrong? Surely this is a fault in the package I downloaded from Macromedia. However, jrun is actually running on my system. I don't know why because it didn't exist before the install of CFMX. Dave Watts suggested I treat the wsconfig.jar as a zip compressed archive and extract the single file I need, jrun.dll and do the job manually. I'm about to give that another go, but that archive contains 614 files. If I only use the one of them, what about all the others? What were they all there for if I don't need them? Frankly, the only reason I'm persisting with this is because I NEED to have ColdFusion. IF I was really evaluating this to see if ColdFusion would be a good technology for my company to use, I'd have dumped it ages ago. Surely an evaluation copy of a program should be the one that is the most trouble-free. There is no trouble shooting stuff in the docs, the whole assumption is that everything is going to work perfectly and no hint as to what you should do if it doesn't. I don't know what I'm going to do now, since I can't connect it to IIs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
