Running ColdFusion MX in Windows 98/ME

Upon installation of the 30-day trial program, I am not getting the two programs that are referenced need to be run in Win98 or ME. It would be helpful if you name the files and show where they are located. I assume I double click them to get them running..???, or do they launch automatically?

I'm not sure yet. Am trying to do same.
Thinking it is start.bat and stop.bat in bin folder. If you find out please post comment.

So what is the latest development with regard to installing CFMX 6.1 on computer running Windows ME? Additionally, I receive this non-fatal error message in the installation log: ERROR - 16: C:\CFusionMX/runtime/bin/jrunsvc.exe returned with a non-zero error code of 1.

OK, this is the 2nd time I've tried to install CF MX Developer version on a Win98SE PC, and the 2nd time the installation has failed miserably with the following ERROR message:

ANT Script Error: Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - 16: C:\CFusionMX/runtime/bin/jrunsvc.exe returned with a non-zero error code of 1

The installer informs me that the installation succeeded, but with errors. Then I click on the box that says "I understand that there were installation errors", and then the installer simply STOPS WORKING. I get NO "CF RDS" or "CF Server" icons in the system tray, no running web server (even though I requested installation of the built-in Developer server that reportedly comes with CFMX trial edition), and no further error messages or communications of any kind from the CFMX installer.

This is now the 2nd time this has happened to me on a Win98SE machine, and I'm about to throw in the towel on CFMX but I thought I'd make one last, desperate plea for HELP in this forum. I mean, that's what this is for, right? Unless I get some help from Macromedia, I'll be compelled to abandon CFMX altogether and go back to CF 4.5 (which, BTW, still runs perfectly on my primary desktop Win98SE PC). Is the CFMX Trial Edition capable of being installed on a Win98SE PC?? Heeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!

Here is a technote that might help.

One last attempt at running CF MX 6.1 on Windows 98 ME. Below is the message received [C:\CFusionMX\runtimeogs\default-event.log] when I run CFSTART.BAT. Please advise.

I am currently dealing with the same exact situation as afcorona:

[1]java.lang.Exception: No LicenseService configured; server terminating

while attempting to start coldfusion on windows 98.

No screen name said on Oct 7, 2004 at 6:15 AM :

I also had the same problem as the other two users. Is a fix available for Windows 98?

Slew said on Oct 17, 2004 at 8:33 PM :

Having the same problem with 98SE - cfstart.bat runs, and...nothing happens. Edited the files in accordance with the above-referenced tech doc - it runs and fixes the "bad command" output, but still no CF server - just a bunch of jrun command lines. I've run the previous version that shipped with MX successfully, but 6.1 isn't working and it's the only developer eidtion I can get my hands on.

Also, when running CF (successfully in Windows 98), I've had cfstart running on the task bar, but never two icons. Somebody please help.

Hello, Here's what I've found to help me past this. Note that the directory paths are example defaults.

In c:\CFusionMX\runtime\bin\jvm.config file, there are 2 problems:

1. You need to add a line at the top:
application.home=c:/CFusionMX

2. The line:
java.ext.dirs={jre.home}/lib/ext

should be
java.ext.dirs={java.home}/lib/ext

These are what worked for me anyway. HTH, Dave

Hi Dave S
Early this year I tried without success to install CFMX 6.1 on WIN98 SE I had the exact same problem and output mentioned above so I did not touch it again until now. I can say that today I have truly found a solution, yours. The text below is what I get when I can finally get CFMX to start after following your solution. Many thanks Dave S for you simple and sweet solution for WIN98 SE users. I wish you all the best. You are a CFMX Developer I suppose and a good one at that.

Hi dloren01 - I'm glad it worked. In my opinion, this is a bug in the deployment/installation program for CFMX 6.1. I needed to make the same jre.home->java.home change in a CFMX Standard edition installation on Win2000, although the application.home entry wasn't needed. Anyway, again, I'm glad it helped. -- Dave

The application.home and java.home changes also allowed ColdFusion MX 7 to run on Fedora Core 3!

Thanks for the help.
