INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9
Troubleshooting
Last updated 1/20/2012
Virtual mapping resource path of /* does not work
Problem:
You add a virtual mapping resource path of /* which does not work.
Solution:
Do not map any directories to wildcard resource paths that contain WEB-INF as a virtual mapping. In ColdFusion
MX 6.1, the fact that this worked was a side-effect of the particular way the classloader was configured. For ColdFusion
MX 7 and later, the classloader is consistent across all editions; the ColdFusion classloader is no longer blended with
the application server’s classloader. This change was made to ensure that ColdFusion MX 7 worked consistently in
stand-alone server as well as deployed as an EAR/WAR to any certified J2EE application server.
Uninstall problems
COM disabled
Problem:
You have an earlier version of ColdFusion on the system. When you uninstall ColdFusion, COM is disabled.
Solution:
Re-register the typeviewer.dll file associated with the earlier version of ColdFusion.
