Coldfusion 7 Installation Problems
If like me you are using a Windows XP with either IIS or apache, you may have encountered problems installing Coldfusion.
The usual senario is that at the end of the installation when trying to either browse to http://localhost or log into the coldfusion administrator…. It won’t.
Basically whats happened is that when coldfusion installs it does a port scan for the JDNI port (I won’t go into any detail on this).XP service pack 2 blocks port scanning! Thus coldfusion fails to complete its install and attach itself to your webserver.
To get around this, once the installation has completed, open up a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd.exe) and type the following command (some of the paths you have maybe different, so change as appropriate).
C:coldfusionmx7
untimejreinjava -DWSConfig.PortScanStartPort=2920 -DWSConfig.PortScanCount=1 -jar C:coldfusionmx7
untimelibwsconfig.jar
This will (or should) make the scan on port 2920 only.
You’ll then be able to complete the installation manually, by selecting the webserver etc.
