          Hi,

           

          Can you please share the error log, it seems like you have to add the machine name in hosts file. However if you can share the error log that will give more information to resolve this.

           

          Thanks,

          Priyank

                senkel,

                Can you try to point CF to the default Java, and see if it starts up.

                You can edit the jvm.config file at <cf_root>/cfusion/bin and point the java.home setting to the default location at <cf_root>/cfusion/jre.

                  in my cold fusion folders are not a jre folder..

                  i unzip now ire.zip and copy the folder in cold fusion..

                  but now :

                   

                  The ColdFusion 11 server is starting up and will be available shortly.

                  There has been an error starting ColdFusion 11 server, please check the logs.

                  i can't find something in the logs

                    I deinstall the server and install new..

                    all folders are now there ...

                    and the java path:

                    java.home=../../jre/Contents/Home/jre

                     

                    but the server won't start again

                      I don't think with the default installation "<cf_root>/jre/Contents/Home/jre" exists. There should be no "jre" in "Home" . Can you check if that directory physically exists there.

                      The path should be set to "../../jre/Contents/Home
