JAR update

[cld007]

Hi,

I get an I/O error message from CF interface when I try to browse for the Jar
file (Cumulative Hot Fix 1 for CFMX 7.0.2 running on W2K SP4 Server) . As a
result, I cannot search and click on the update/jar file using the browse
option and then submit my changes.

1- I do not know how to troubleshoot this kind of error as it doesn't provide
me with much info (other than the message itself).

2- As a workaroung, can the Jar file simply be copied into the "right CF
directory" for it to work and then restart CF Services OR does the JAR file
actually need to be "installed" using the System Information screen?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Claude

If the browse function is not working, verify that RDS is operational.

You can simply copy the file to the proper location.

For ColdFusion standalone that path would be:

<coldfusion home>\lib\updates

For ColdFusion in J2EE:

jrun4\servers\<instance_name>\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\update

The file has been copied to the proper directory however I cannot be sure if it
worked as the problem it was suppose to fix (lines are gettting cut in
CFDocuments) still occurs.

From Dreamweaver 8, I do not use RDS nor FTP as I have a drive mapped onto the
server to xfer .cfm files. All of my Admin is done directly on the server on
which CF is installed. On the other hand I can see all of my Data Sources,
which is not done by "browsing" however, the CF admin module is able to see
other CF parameters. RDS is not setup on my development serverand I am able to
browse for update files from that one!!??

After you've placed the file in the proper directory, make sure you restart CF.
Then, log into the administrator and click the System Information link at the
top. If HF1 has been loaded you'll see this in the Java Class path section for
CF classpath:

../lib/updates/chf7020001.jar

Exact, I just checked and the HF1 has indeed been loaded.

Thanks ke4pym.

Now that I have a workaround to my initial problem (I/O error in Communication
when I hit the Browse button) which prevented me from installing Hot Fixes, the
later doesn't seem so important however, if someone knows how I can get rid of
it, I would have a healthy system....

Thanks you very much.
