CFMX 6.1 Daylight Savings Patch

[Ronsweb]

The patch for the DST is not working.

The server version is:
CMFX 6.1 version: 6,1,0,83762

Installed the full SDK located at:
C:\Program Files\java\j2re1.4.2_11

Changed the VM configuration in the jvm.config file located at
C:\CFusionMX\runtime\bin to:

java.home=C:/Program Files/java/j2re1.4.2_11

Tried to restart Coldfusion Services and it would not restart!


Does anyone have any suggestions or did I miss anything?

Thanks,

Ron

I just tried this patch and fix and I am getting the same problem. My cold
fusion will not restart When I look in sys information I get Java 1.4.2-b28.
Can anyone help me with this ????

Thanks

First, try restoring the path to your prior JDK (restore from a backup
jvm.config if you have one).
(I.E. java.home=C:/CFusionMX/runtime/jre)
Confirm that ColdFusion MX restarts and you are back to square one.
Next, install the JDK in a path without spaces (I.E. C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11 instead
of c:\program files\j2sdk1.4.2_11)
Now, edit the jvm.config with the new path java.home=C:/j2sdk1.4.2_11
Save the file, restart ColdFusion and it should start.

Thanks you were right on point

Thanks LL@work for replying.

I moved the j2re1.4.2_11 to C:\j2re1.4.2_11 and configured the jvm.config to
C:/2re1.4.2_11. I also tried moving the
complete install C:\java\j2re1.4.2_11 and configured the jvm.config to
C:/java/2re1.4.2_11. I tried to restart coldfusion in
both instances and Coldfusion would not restart. I had to go back to the
original jvm.config java.home=C:/CFusionMX/runtime/jre

Here is the jvm.config that I tried to install:


# VM configuration
#
# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM is used
# if not then it must be the path to the JRE itself
java.home=C:/j2re1.4.2_11
#
# If no java.home is specified a VM is located by looking in these places in
this
# order:
#
# 1) bin directory for java.dll (windows) or lib/<ARCH>/libjava.so (unix)
# 2) ../jre
# 3) registry (windows only)
# 4) JAVA_HOME env var plus jre (ie $JAVA_HOME/jre)
#

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server -DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS -Xmx512m
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -Xbootclasspath/a:

#
# commas will be converted to platform specific separator and the result will
be passed
# as -Djava.ext.dirs= to the VM
java.ext.dirs={jre.home}/lib/ext

#
# where to find shared libraries

java.library.path={application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin,{
application.home}/../jintegra/bin/international,{application.home}/../lib/_nti40
/bin
system.path.first=false

# JVM classpath

java.class.path={application.home}/servers/lib,{application.home}/../lib/cfusion
..jar,{application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../runtime/lib/jrun.jar,{appli
cation.home}/../runtime/lib,c:\\cfdev\\spellchecker\\CFX_JSpellCheck.jar,c :\\Act

Thanks for the help,

OK, I figured out the problem -

You have to make sure that you have the right download from Java. If you look
at my jvm.config you will notice that the file name
is j2re1.4.2_11. It should be j2sdk1.4.2_11

So here a step by step install for CFMX 6.1 with updater 1

1) Make a backup of your jvm.config file located at: C:\CFusionMX\runtime\bin
If you have any problems, just change the path back to the original
java.home=C:/CFusionMX/runtime/jre

2) Download the J2SDK 1.4.2_11 at:
[url]http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_11/index.html[/url]
** Make sure that you DO NOT install the J2RE 1.4.2_11. This is what gave me
the problem***

Install the full J2SDK 1.4.2_11 - Here is the download:

[url]https://sdlc6a.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=3BC516FBC3CC49D84B7C1 F8[/url]
3E775207E


3) I would use LL@works suggestion about not installing with any directory
with spaces. I installed
it at the default java installation location C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11

4) Manually reconfigure the jvm.config file to point to the new installation
java.home=C:/j2sdk1.4.2_11

5) Restart the coldfusion application service in services.

6) Then you have to check out this hotfix:

You now should be in business.
Thanks LL@work for all the help!
