Security hotfix APSB07-02 installation fails

[julio5]

I have followed the instructions given at
[url]http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-02.html[/url] to apply the
security hotfix APSB07-02 to my CF7.0.2 standalone server, but when entering:

java -Dtrace.ci=1 -jar wsconfig.jar -upgrade -v

into the command prompt as instructed, I get the following error:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command

[rcgnsi]

I think that you need to navigate to your {jrunhome}\lib directory (where the
java.exe file resides) in order to run the command. The reason you get that is
becuase the directory you are currently in does not contain the java.exe, so
that's why you get the error.

I too had a problem with this installation, but my error was "the wsconfig.jar
file is corrupt or incorrect version" or something along those lines.

Thanks for the reply. My server is the standard rather than multi-server JRUN
CF7 and I simply followed the instructions in the technote which said run the
command in:

{cfmx_root}\runtime\lib

There is no java.exe in that folder. However there is in

{cfmx_root}\runtime\jre\bin

Are Adobe's instructions incorrect? Should I be running the command in that
folder?

Thanks.

Adobe's instructions are rarely correct, you have to be a mind reader or know
the product inside out to decyfer them, so I don't blame you for finding an
issue with the instructions.

Anyway, I would try and run the command like this:

drive:\{cfmx_root}\runtime\jre\bin\java -Dtrace.ci=1 -jar wsconfig.jar
-upgrade -v

FROM the directory that the wsconfig.jar file is in. So if your wsconfig.jar
is in the directory {cfmx_root}\runtime\lib, use cmd prompt to navigate to that
directory and then run the above command line.

Be sure to back up your existing wsconfig.jar file BEFORE doing anything else.

One other quick thing that might be helpful is that you can add the java.exe
file to your "path" Environment variable so no matter what directory you are in
it will "know" where the java.exe file is and you can launch commands from
wherever in your system tree. To do that you would right click on "My Computer"
select "Properties" then the "Advanced" tab. Find the System Variable called
"Path" and append the full path of the java.exe file like
drive:\{cfmx_root}\runtime\jre\bin\java.exe.

That worked fine on my development server - thanks very much indeed. And for
the tip about environment variables.

Adobe really should take more care with their instructions rather than assume
everyone is au fait with command line operations and has all the paths set up
as they no doubt do. They also don't make it clear you need to unzip the new
jar file before re-naming it and assume you will copy it to the correct place.
Needless to say I gave the page a "poor" feedback rating.

[rcgnsi]

Unzip the file? Hmm, maybe that is what my problem is. So what you are saying
is that you have to download the zip file from the site and then unzip and
rename the wsconfig-U6-65311.jar file INSIDE of the zip file? That would
explain why I was getting errors about the jar file being corrupt...

[julio5]

Ah yes, you need to unzip the jar file, rename it to wsconfig.jar and then copy it to your \runtime\lib to replace the existing one (having backed it up as you say).

You scratch my back.... :-)

More puzzlement: the technote says the Product Version of the new
jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll should be 4,0,6,10840, but on both servers I have
patched the version is 4,0,5,108409 The file is dated December 11th 2006 so
it's definitely been updated.

My jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll is also version 4,0,5,108409 after running the upgrade. Has anyone found a resolution for this?

[Educate WebTeam]

We had the same issue on our dev server and had to add the java.exe file to
your "path" Environment variable.
Our jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll is also version 4,0,5,108409 after running the
upgrade.
