@Krishna: Thanks for the follow-up. I have retrieved the referenced JAR file, made the noted change to my /etc/hosts file, and tested CF10 on Java 7 while connected to the work network and on a different network. So far, the CF server seems to start and function fine in both network configurations. I will continue testing, but this seems very promising. Thank you for your assistance.

@Ron (in response to my comment#32)
I am sorry for the late reply.

Can you please download the jar file from
https://coldfusion.adobe.com/assets/content/kp/LocalhostTest.jar
Open the terminal and set Java 7 as the currentjdk by giving the following command.
set JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home
Run the Jar file in the terminal by issuing the following command:
>java -jar
If you see any exception messages in the terminal please modify your hosts file accordingly
and then restart the server.

Just in case others have problems with their install of Java 7. I tried various installs and kept getting a non startable cf10 service. I finally used the link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jdk-7-download-432154.html which installs the JDK. The other versions did not work.

@Carl( Comment #29)
For Windows 32-bit it is mandatory to use JDK only(JRE won’t work as it doesn’t contain server VM )
And for other platforms you can use either JRE or JDK as Server VM is there in both of them.

Rakshith,

In your comment #8, item #2 you talk about making sure you use the Server VM JRE and not the Client VM JRE. To be clear, by Server VM JRE are you referring to the Java SE JRE? And by Client VM JRE are you referring to the normal Java client installed from java.com?

A bit of follow-up to my comment #24 above: I have the system in question back on the network at work at this point and have verified that ACF10u8 will start and run successfully on either Java 6 or Java 7.

I should also note that this I do not believe this behavior is specific to update 8: I installed Java 7 yesterday while on the network here at work and changed the jvm.config file to point to Java 7 and verified that ACF10u7 would run on it. I then took the box home at the end of the day to work from home and when I attempted to start ACF10u7, it failed to start. I switched the jvm.config file back to point to Java 6, verified it worked, and installed update 8 (at least partly in the hopes of addressing this problem).

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information to help troubleshoot this.

I have a MacBook Pro which I use to do almost all of my CF development these days, running Apache with ACF9 and ACF10 in standalone mode. I have the Apple Java 6 JRE installed along with Oracle Java JDK 7u15. When I am unplugged from the network at work (e.g., connected to my wireless network at home), ACF10 will not start when configured via the jvm.config file to use Java 7. Switching back the jvm.config file back to use Java 6, ACF10 starts and runs fine. Below are contents of the ../cfusion/logs/coldfusion-out.log file from starting pointing to the two different versions of the JVM. Note the entry in the Java 7 version of the log file where there is some sort of hostname lookup occuring and failing, which is not present when running on Java 6. The hostname shown is the name of the computer when connected to the work network.

Not strictly related to this update but I just tried CF10 with Java 1.7 and MySQL 5.6.10 and it looks like the J/Connector that ships with CF10 (mysql-connector-java-commercial-5.1.17-bin.jar) needs to be updated to the current version (5.1.23) to work correctly.

Any idea when formal support for MySQL 5.6 will be included

@Jason, If you had the connector in place before applying Update 8, you should remove it and reconfigure it after applying the update. You can use the wsconfig tool to do that. You can launch the tool from the Finder at /Applications/ColdFusion10/runtime/bin/wsconfig.

Hi Rakshith,

Just a couple minor typos in that KB article, in the “Installation > For Mac OS X” section:

———–
If you encounter the following error message when running the ColdFuison 10 installer: “Adobe ColdFusion 10 can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.”, ensure that the “Allow application downloaded from” security setting in System Preferences> Secutiry & Privacy> General is set to “Anywhere”.
———–

1) “ColdFuison 10 installer” should be “ColdFusion 10 installer”
2) “Secutiry & Privacy” should be “Security & Privacy”

Thanks!,

Questions:

1. Am I reading this correctly that CF10u8 REQUIRES Java 1.7 (which is different than just supporting 1.7)?

2. The referenced document refers to both the JRE and the JDK in different places. Will CF10u8 run on the JRE or is the JDK required?

3. On Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, where the latest official Java JRE available from Apple is still Java 1.6, does this mean we wait to move to update 8 until we get something from Apple or do we move to an Oracle JRE/JDK?
