Sorry didn’t see this was about a pre-release.
Figured out the manual method not working. Which still didn’t work after I selected to just Download via the GUI. The error message “This update is already installed” is very misleading.
The problem was I was pointing the installer to ColdFusion11cfusion instead of ColdFusion for the location. We don’t have ColdFusion installed on the C drive. It finally hit me as that was the default. Worked like a charm using just ColdFusion. Just a faulty error message.
Thanks Charlie. Figured the automatic way at least. The reason was I didn’t have a virtual directory for my Default Source Script in the web site where I run CFAdmin from. I run CFadmin in it’s own separate site and not on sites where content is. So my custom source script virtual directory I created on the application web sites but not the site I use for CFAdmin. For that site the CFIDE virtual directory worked for CFAdmin but haven’t used the update yet since I changed the source script I guess. As per best practice I filter out CFIDE on all content sites and it’s accessible only one site.
BTW, I tried going to CFIDE as you mention and it prompted me to save the javascript file. I assume this is because I have indeed changed the Default ScriptSrc Directory to a custom folder?
Anyways I picked download and it worked fine and the page looks different now as it has tabs. However the manual method still says I have it applied. after the download the .jar is in my hf-updates directory and my command line is similar to yours. We use the latest JDK (8 update 71) which is installed under Program FilesJava.
Yes only single instance of CF Enterprise and version still shows update 6 version number 11,0,06. We follow the lockdown guide and we went from version 9 to version 11. So implementing the lockdown guidd along with the new updates feature is new.
Yes no hf-11-00007 in the updates directory.
Yes this is for the production release I’m trying yo apply update 7 to. In production at least I defintely changed the location of the scripts directory as per the lockdown guide. Update 6 worked fine along with the notification in CFadmin that it was available. It’s possible I made this change after applying update 6. I use IE 11 for CFadmin on the server where I apply the updates to the 127.0.0.1 IP as per the lockdown guide. The IE version and settings haven’t changed although Windows Updates have applied the latest security updates.
Why can’t I even manually appky the update? Is it looking at the wrong directory?
I’ve tried applying this update via CFAdmin and clicking either download or download and install does nothing .These worked fine for update 6. Therefore I downloaded the update and tried to manually install. It says the update is already installed. I look in the hf-updates folder and it’s not there.
Sorry for the delay. I forgot to run Web Server Config
Thanks, for all of your help, it’s up and running.
thanks
Thanks Charlie,
Yes, I wanted to know where and how to run the command line statement.
I was able to install the update with your help, so thanks again.
I need to see if you can help me with the following error:
http error 404.0 – not found, when I try to login the CF administrator page.
Did my update work?
Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks again for your help.
can someone help me update the CF jar? where do I run the command java -jar /hotfix_007.jar?
Thank-you for posting this fix!
And how do I install on a fresh machine without jumping through so much workarounds?
Also why can’t you be more proactive and have this a lot earlier. 3 months after Windows 10 has been released and I haven’t been able to install it on my new machine, haven’t got the time to manually set it up. So I went with your competitor instead.
@Andrew: Installer does not have support for Windows 10 and Mac 10.11. We are certifying these platforms as part of these updates. So, we have to apply this update first, in order to configure connector with IIS 10.
Does this mean the installer has this support now?
It took another four goes for it to “take”, but it’s now reporting as installed.
I’ve found the experience of updating the Express edition to be… “variable”, so there’s no surprise here, really.
Hi Nimit, thanks for the quik response.
Version 11,0,04,293328
Update Level C:/apps/adobe/ColdFusion/11/express/cfusion/lib/updates/chf11000004.jar
I’ll try to revert to the normal update channel, redo anything it suggests, and try the prerelease one again.
This is on a Windows 64-bit Express install, btw.
@Adam: Build number should be 11,0,07,296112(PreRelease) after applying this update.
Can you please clear browser cache and check, if you have not tried it?
Having started from 11 update 6 and installing this one, my updater now claims I’m on update 4 (and no further updates available on that channel, which is no surprise).
What should my expectations here be?
@Shawn: We have to apply this update, in order to configure connector with IIS 10. We are upgrading wsconfig tool with this update.
On Windows 10, we can use CF’s internal web server to apply this update or apply this update manually by downloading jar file.
Isn’t this a cart before the horse? Why not release a new installer? Will CF admin even run without manually fixing it first to apply the update?
It is good to see the support being added for windows 10 and mac 10.11. I look forward to updating our mac servers once the finished update comes out.
