Odd installation issue
I've got a Windows 03 server on which I installed MX7 yesterday. After getting it all installed, I browse to the administrator and get the configuration wizard screen. I type in the admin password and submit. Then it goes to the next page for about one second before it pops back to the login screen. I know the password I'm typing is correct, because when I type a bad one in it tells me that it's not the right password. There's a continue link on that next page and I've tried clicking it really quickly before the page changes, but that doesn't help either. I put a test.cfm file in the web root with just a cfdump var=#server# inside of it. When I browse to that file, it works as expected, so it's serving CF pages just fine. I just can't get into the administrator because I can't get past the config thing. Has anybody seen that before or does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Odd installation issue
Do you have Norton Anti-Virus installed on this server? If you do, turn that beast off until install is complete.

RE: Odd installation issue
Nope, no NAV running. Though I would expect it to cause problems before this point, but not AT this point. Once you get to the point where you're in the web browser hitting the administrator, I'd expect no problems out of an av scanner.

Re: Odd installation issue
I have had NAV stop at the point speak of it. NAV has a habit of thinking java changes are virus related. Other than NAV, I have not seen a stopping point at the configuration before. Typically if you get the configuration after deployment, your installation was successful enough to execute CFML correctly.

RE: Odd installation issue
That has been my experience every other time too. This is the first time I've ever had any issue with installation and that's a LOT of installations! I'll try disabling everything else that's running on the box that I can disable and see if I can get it to go past that step. The strangest thing is that it serves CF pages just fine; it's just the admin that I can't get into. Surely there should be a method for making an end-run around that bit and configuring anything that it missed by hand? I was hoping I'd get someone post who had this exact same problem last week and fixed it by doing x. No such luck though, huh?

Re: Odd installation issue
The only thing I acn suggest is checking the neo configuration files to see if there is a way to superceed the steps.

Re: Odd installation issue
This is probably NOT it, but I did have a semi-related error (if I remember right), that had to do with the case of the CFIDE directory. Some links pointed to CFIDE and others pointed to cfide. Something like that. I highly doubt that your problem was my problem, because Windows isn't case sensitive. But maybe it's the CFIDE directory check permissions etc..? That must narrow it down quite a bit for you, right. :-P lol Force be with you, fellow weird-error-er. =-ps oh yeah, check your webserver logs and see what's really going on! ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:253061 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Odd installation issue
I just had my install hell night and one whole day later hell. My issue was CF forgot to install the windows service I have grown to love and the docs to jrunsvc.exe were as cryptic as per normal. Cryptic jrunsvc -install [jrun instance name] [service name] [display name] [description] Decrypted C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\binjrunsvc.exe -install coldfusion ColdFusion MX 7 App lication Server ColdFusion MX 7 Application ColdFusion MX 7 Application I had no idea what the [jrun instance name] was and I had no access to the JMC so I looked in my old event logs for clues and there is was in air quotes. If you get the first set of quotes wrong your hell night grows longer and the other sets of quotes are meaningless labels. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:253088 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
