This is an incredible display of community where Chris, and Dave draw upon their own expertise and take the time out of their busy schedules to help work out issues experiences by a fellow user. None of these guys are employees of the publisher, and are not getting paid for their help, but both have appeared, as evidenced by posts over the past couple of days shown their determination to stick with a very frustrated user, with a goal of helping him through his roadblock. While I , and probably several others have not experienced problems such as the one being worked through, it is really heart-warming to know that people like this are members of our chosen trade. The least I can do is to give kudos to both of you, I know the problem is not an insurmountable one, and that you will guide the user through it until it is finally resolved, and even beyond that, that he understands what is taking place on his system. He will be the better for it, and perhaps will make himself available in the future to return the favor. We all are gaining by this experience. So Thanks guys!

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 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
