JRun CFusion server won't start after updating JVM

[odyssey]

I just applied the ColdFusion Updater 7.0.2 and then upgraded the JVM to
j2sdk1.4.1_11 and edited the jvm.config file to point the java.home to the new
folder. After editing the file, I tried to restart the ColdFusion service as
directed in the Technote d2ab4470 but it will not restart.

Can anyone provide any assistance with this?

Thank you!

What errors appear in the runtime/coldfusion-out.log, server.log or
cfserver.log? That should point you in the right direction. If you are on
windows your runtime/bin/jvm.config should probably be pointing to JAVA_HOME as
c:/j2sdk1.4.2_11/jre. Does it? The forward slashes are required for java or
you can use double back slashes as:
c:\\j2sdk1.4.2_11\\jre.

If this does not get you going start by moving back to the original internal
JRE:
c:/cfusionmx7/runtime/jre. Make a backup of you jvm.config outside the CF
directory structure. Then if you break something during an update you can just
copy a running copy back in. Generally, the jvm.config.bak in runtime/bin has
the same problems as your jvm.config - so an outside backup is better.

I had the same issue as you. I had initially installed the new JVM to
{cfusion}/runtime/jre after just renaming the old version's folder jre-old.
After several re-installations and using different versions I still couldn't
get it to work. Once I installed it to C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12 then changing my
jvm.config to point to the new location, the server started just fine.
