ColdFusion Builder Admin Server Components Problem

[rjeffords]

After downloading the admin server components, extracting them into their appropriate directories, and executing the adminstart.bat file, I'm receiving the following error:

This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I did a search for that file and found several instances throughout the coldfusion8 directory.

I am running Coldfusion Standard                  8,0,1,195765 on Windows 2003.

Thoughts?

I was just about to post this.  I am receiving the same error message running CF8 multi-server with Jrun on Windows 2003.

msvcr71.dll should be available under C:/ColdFusion8/runtime/jre/bin in case of standalone or C:/JRun4/jre/bin. Copy this to runtime/bin in case of standalone and JRun4/bin in case of multiserver.

That seemed to do the trick, but shouldn't that have been noted in the install instructions?

Furthermore, I'm still not able to start/stop my CF services from CF Builder.  I think over all the instructions were extremely lacking for this install.  I've dug into the docs and found a different explanation everywhere I look.  Furthermore, after watching Ben's videos where he sets up a server, that looks like he's getting different screens than I am.

I suppose it IS a beta, so I'll just sit tight!

Can you please let us know which Windows version your using. There are few issues using service option in Vista/2008/7.

FYI. If you try to start/stop server through service. Server should be configured in server manager with Use Window service enabled in second screen.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition

As for the "Second screen" you speak of, are you referring to the "remote server settings" where you specify naming port, username, password, document root?  That should just be a valid AD account for that server, right?

Again, I think the documentation of setting this feature up could use some work.  Do you have any links you can send me that explain every step properly?  I hate to ask a million questions if its been documented somewhere already.

[rjeffords]

By the way...do I need to install server manager as well?  I'm running Coldfusion 8...I didn't see a seperate download for that.

If you are looking for information on setting up a remote server, please see the following topic in the ColdFusion Builder User Guide:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusionBuilder/Using/WS0ef8c004658c1089-38317734121cdfd5fd3-7fff.html.

Let me know if this does not cover the information you are looking for.

Thanks,

The second screen does not prompt me for a ColdFusion version like the documentation indicates it should.

I am running OS X 10.5.7

[Kiran_Sakhare]

Version is removed for remote server. We need to update the same in Doc. Thanks for pointing out.

[rjeffords]

No problem.  I've followed all of the directions...

Updated the {CFHome}/runtime/lib/security.properties file.

Grabbed the jrun user account from the jrun-users.xml file.

etc.

I'm able to connect to the server, but I have no options to start/stop.  The status just says "unknown".

[Kiran_Sakhare]

Have you started admin server on remote machine. What error getting logged on CFB consol when you refresh the server?

[rjeffords]

I have started it using the adminstart.bat file.

Starting Macromedia JRun 4.0 (Build 108673), admin server
07/14 08:52:39 warning Unable to open C:\ColdFusion8\runtime/lib/license.properties
07/14 08:52:40 info JRun Naming Service listening on *:2910

Think the problem has to do with the second line...shouldn't that be "security.properties"?

[rjeffords]

Console doesn't read any error:

[LMS], (07/14 at 09:00:28): Server is available. Getting server settings from Server

I can connect to the server no problemo...the status reads "unkown" with all of the buttons greyed out to start/stop, etc.

[Mallika_Yelandur]

You're right; "Security Properties" is a more appropriate title to include in the docs. I've made a note of that. Thanks.

No, the adminstart.bat is referencing a wrong file name.  Its attempting to open a file that does not exist (license.properties).  The correct name is security.properties.

For sake of moving forward, I copied the security properties and renamed it to license.properties which allowed me to execute the adminstart.bat fine.  Again, still no ability to start/stop services from CFB

[Kiran_Sakhare]

Can you check in your machine temp directory three jars are copied (jcmd.jar, jcmd_u7.jar and jcmd_u5.jar).

[rjeffords]

I just checked in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and did not find those files.

You are referring to the server right?

[Kiran_Sakhare]

Check in machine where CFB is installed.

FYI :- The temp directory of windows, location is stored in windows environment variable. Type set on command line consol and look for tmp or temp.

I have seen the references to AdminServerComponents.zip in the documentation. Can someone tell me where to download this file?

Thanks
