ColdFusion MX service won't start at boot
Tried to install CFMX on a fresh development box at home and hit problems. Posted the following to the Macromedia Forums but haven't had any response so far. Any ideas? TIA === The ColdFusion MX service isn't starting. I've read the numerous other posts on this and have tried the steps below. I suspect the problem is due to (6). Any ideas why the initial set up appears to have gone wrong and (more importantly) how to fix it? TIA System setup: Completely fresh installation of Windows 2000 Professional, running IIS 5.0. No Service Packs installed. ColdFusion 5 not previously installed. IIS works find, able to browse .html and .asp pages without problems. (1) Opening the CFAdmin page displays a 500 Internal Server Error. (2) Trying to start the ColdFusion MX service manually returned Service-specific Error 2. (3) I wiped the machine, did a complete reinstall and didn't install any Service Packs (several threads suggest there are problems with W2K SP3 and CFMX). CFMX service still doesn't start. (4) I altered the Recovery settings for the service to Restart the Service for both first and second fail. Trying to start the service returns the Service-specific Error 2 message. (5) Confirmed that, as per Sean Corfield's blog at http://www.corfield.org/blog/2002_07_01_archive.html checked that jvm.config doesn't pass corrupt arguments and that the line says: # Arguments to VM java.args=-DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS -Xmx512m (6) In Internet Services Manager | Home Directory | Configuration the cfc, .cfm, .cfml and .jsp extensions are mapped to C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll However, this path doesn't exist.

Did you have a beta installed at some stage? Check the registry for the keys which start the services and verify they are pointing to the correct folder for the CF services.

RE: ColdFusion MX service won't start at boot
Did you have a beta installed at some stage? Check the registry for the keys which start the services and verify they are pointing to the correct folder for the CF services. It was a *completely* fresh install of everything, starting with wiping the partition and reformatting with NTFS. After having installed Windows 2000 Professional, I installed IIS, then CFMX. Thanks for the reply, Neil.

RE: ColdFusion MX service won't start at boot
Yep, that is more than likely your problem. I know there are some issued with the installer as well. it may be worth swinging my MM.com to check it this is a documented one.
