INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9
Troubleshooting
Last updated 1/20/2012
Migration problems
Data sources not recognized
Problem:
When you migrate from an earlier version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion 9, your application does not recognize data
sources.
Solution:
Redefine the data sources.
CFCs not recognized in Dreamweaver
Problem:
When you migrate from an earlier version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion 9, the CFCs do not appear in the Components
panel of Dreamweaver.
Solution:
Check the mappings and update them as necessary.
Installation fails
Problem:
On UNIX and Linux systems, when you try to install ColdFusion on systems where the /tmp partition is mounted
noexec, the installation fails.
Solution:
This is because the install attempts to use the /tmp directory for unpacking and running the installer runtime. To avoid
this issue, set the
IATEMPDIR environment variable to a directory on the system that has execute permissions before
running the installer.
Problem:
When you try to install ColdFusion, the installation fails and generate the error:
"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError Invocation of this Java Application has caused an
InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)"
Solution:
You must clean up the directory to which the installer is trying to extract the JRE, for example, /tmp.
J2EE configuration problems
Problem:
There is inconsistent behavior when you try to launch JRun using /opt/jrun4/bin/jrun.
