ColdFusion 9 Web Server Configuration Tool problem

[jlwhite]

I am using:

ColdFusion 9.01

Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.13

Windows 2008 R2 Standard

When I try to use the Web Server Configuration Tool, I get the following message:   warning "connectors/nsapi/intel-win64/prebuilt/jrun_nsapi.dll".  Could it be an incompatability with the versions of software that I am using?  Has anyone successfully configured ColdFusion 9.01 with Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.13?

I can't get past this message (see below).

The wsconfig.log file has the following:

02/14 00:39:57 debug Parsing Sun ONE Web Server (iPlanet) configuration file G:\Program Files\Oracle\WebServer7\https-CFAdmin\config\magnus.conf

According to ze documentz, iPlanet is not a supported webserver for ColdFusion. I reckon that's your answer.

Sun™ Java™ System Web Server 7 has been renamed to Oracle iPlanet Web Server since the ColdFusion docs came out.  However, I am running the 64 bit version of ColdFusion 9.01 and Oracle iPlanet Web Server is 32 bit.  There may be an incompatibility there.  I am going to try installing the 32 bit version of CF 9.01 and see if that makes any difference.

[Owainnorth]

Ah, that changes things then. In which case yes, could well be an architecture incompatibility. Rather than going for CF 32-bit, why not use a 64-bit webserver? Might as well make use of a 64-bit OS.

Any luck? We are installing CF 9 tomorrow. Wasn't sure about 64-bit or 32-bit, since we also have installed 32-bit Oracle iPlanet Web Server in Windows 2008 R2 platform.

[jlwhite]

We are using 64-bit Windows 2008 R2.  I could not get any combination of CF 9 and 32-bit Oracle iPlanet Web Server working on this platform.  I finally went all 64-bit, substituting IIS for 32-bit Oracle iPlanet Web Server.  This works.

I'm using  Solaris 10 SPARC, iPlanet 7.0.15, and I'm not going to use Apache!

Note: I made a slight modification to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 reference in the startup script for iPlanet.

You have to do this to make the virtual server use the 64-bit libraries.

vi /sun/webserver7/https-<config_name>/bin/startserv

look for this line:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64="${SERVER_LIB_PATH_64}:${SERVER_JVM_LIBPATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64}"; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64
and change it to this line:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64="${SERVER_LIB_PATH_64}:${SERVER_JVM_LIBPATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64}:/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9"; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64

I'm moving from CF8 ENT to CF9 ENT.

Here's the problem: iPlanet virtual server is configured for 64-bit operation; the connector in CF9 is 32-bit.

Question: What Program is Making this file ---> libjrun_nsapi.so ??

I'm assuming CF is creating it, so try to follow my logic here.....

CF9 doesn't want to produce libjrun_nsapi.so in 64-bit mode.

The file is located here:
/opt/coldfusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/libjrun_nsapi.so

Instead it spits out a 32-bit file....

# file libjrun_nsapi.so

libjrun_nsapi.so:       ELF 32-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARC32PLUS Version 1, V8+ Required, dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information avail

It's supposed to look something like this:

# file libjrun_nsapi.so

libjrun_nsapi.so:       ELF 64-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

I found out that when I use CF8, the installer asks for 64-bit configuration during install,

AND the initial startup makes the 64-bit connector.

In CF9...no such menu item; it doesn't mention 32/64 bit anything.

How do you force CF9 to produce a 64-bit libjrun_nsapi.so file?

??????

This creates the 32-bit file...

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws sunone -dir /sun/webserver7/<config-name>/config -coldfusion -v

When I add -ws64 it breaks the script....

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws64 sunone -dir /sun/webserver7/<config-name>/config -coldfusion -v

How do you force CF9 to produce a 64-bit libjrun_nsapi.so file?

??????

FYI:  I grabbed the libjrun_nsapi.so file from my CF8 ENT install, and used it in my CF9 ENT install.

No errors from the web server, but it's running dirt-slow now.

Could be the file because the libjrun_nsapi.so was created to connect with CF8, not CF9 !?

How do you force CF9 to produce a 64-bit libjrun_nsapi.so file?
