"error Occurred while Processing request" uponColdfusion installation

[val444]

Hello

Im aboslutely new to web development, except for being able to produce not
dinamic web pages. I am a beginner to Coldfusion, and I have tryed to instal
coldfusion server on my computer, Using ISS as web server. Installation seems
to run OK, but when it finishes and coldfusion tries to start, I receive a
"Error Occurred while processing request" message. The stack trace begins with
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" and lots of sentences after that.

I have tried to find some help in the knowledge base, and I just simply cant
find anything to help me...?can anybody tell me, in a very basic language, what
is happening? I have tried the installation several times and its always teh
same. Probably something in my station configuration does not work or is
wrongly configured.

Than k you very much in advance...

Hi val444,

It is hard to tell what the problem is without seeing the first 5-10 lines of
the stack trace. However, I'll take a guess that you installed MX6 and the
first two lines of the stack trace are as follows ...?

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])

If yes, see this Tech Note:
