Hi,

After a number of updates to a server of mine, fusionreactor no longer
works.

When I browse:

http://my_server_name:8088/fusionreactor/fhtml.cfm?mode=login

I get a standard "The page cannot be displayed" error.

Where do I start to diagnose the problem?

Well, it could be that your changes caused the CF configuration to lose the
indication that you wanted FR to run. Have you tried just re-installing FR?
Or if you're reluctant (reasonable, if you don't want to lose FR
configuration info), you could just check out the various parts that are
implemented if it's installed.

I assume you still have your /fusionreactor directory, right?

As for how FR runs on CF itself, it runs as a servlet filter, and so it's
configured (normally by the FR installer) to have FR listed as a filter in
CF's default-web.xml file. In a standalone server deployment on CF8, that
would be in C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF.

I'd recommend that you look at the section on "Manually installing
FusionReactor" in the FR Installation Guide (available in the
\fusionreactor\doc directory where you installed FR, or online at
http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fr/support.cfm#doc). It talks about where that
file would be in different deployments of CF and different OS's.

I'm not saying to perform the installation steps, but rather just look at
what it would tell one to do. Check to see if those things have been done.

If not, then I'd think you could just try re-installing it (either manually
or using the installer).

Hope that helps.

Hi Charlie,

Seems you are as busy here as on you are on cfaussie :>

Following is the fusionreactor portion from my default-web.xml file:

<!-- FusionReactor filter definition -->
<filter>
<filter-name>FusionReactor</filter-name>
<filter-class>
com.intergral.fusionreactor.filter.FusionReactorFilter
</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>
C:/FusionReactor/conf/reactor.conf
</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>FusionReactor</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Please note that I am on cfmx6.1 and have not upgraded to FR 3.0
(although we do have it on subscription).

I may try and reinstall... but i think that requires a server restart?

Hi Scott. Yep, I get around. :-)

As for your default-web.xml, I find it curious that your config param's
value is C:/FusionReactor/conf/reactor.conf. In my experience (in 3 and even
2, if I recall correctly) was that it pointed to a specific instance, such
as (in my current case)
C:/FusionReactor/instance/coldfusion.cfmx8.charlied620-vis/conf/reactor.conf
. Maybe someone from Intergral can speak if it might make sense sometimes
for it not to point at a particular instance.

That said, do you have a file at C:/FusionReactor/conf/reactor.conf? And if
so, since you said originally that it fails to respond to a request for:

http://my_server_name:8088/fusionreactor/fhtml.cfm?mode=login

look in that reactor.conf file. Is the webserver.port value set to 8088?
Also, have you tried variations of "my_server_name"? Such as using
localhost, from the machine itself? Any chance there's an issue with the
servername you're using? So other real CFM page requests respond using it?
Could always be a hosts file or networking issue, if not.

Finally, you should also be able to get through to the FR admin by using not
the FR internal web server port (8088 in your case) but just port 80,
meaning the same URL you'd use to browse any page on your CF server. Have
you tried that, such as just:

http://my_server_name/fusionreactor/fhtml.cfm?mode=login

What happens then? Or again with variations on the my_server_name?

Hope that helps.

/charlie
