After completely uninstalling CF7, I tried installing CF8 (single instance) to
run through IIS 7 on Vista Ultimate. At the end of the install, it fails to
configure the web connectors, stating that the port (51020) may be blocked by
firewall, etc.
I can get to the actual JRun web service in a browser (and .cfm files work),
but I couldn't get the connector working. In jrun.xml, I've tried setting
deactivated to false in jrun.xml for JRunProxyService, and changing the ports
for the proxy (and also the JRun Naming Service, and the JRun Web Server)...
numerous times... all to no avail.
I have verified through port scans that all the above ports are open and
listening (many port changes and CF service restarts). I have even tried
specifying the starting port and number of ports from the command line, as in
-DWSConfig.PortScanStartPort=startport -DWSConfig.PortScanCount=portrange, etc.
No matter what I do, the web server configuration tool tells me that it,
"Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost"... but I
can connect through the JRun web server port.
I have tried all this by uninstalling and reinstalling CF8 without firewall or
anti-virus software as well.
I decided that I could live without IIS 7, but I would have to install
multi-instance, so I completely uninstalled and reinstalled ColdFusion 8 and
set it to run on the internal development server...
Almost there? Now when I try and create a new server instance, I get an error
that I've never seen before, and apparently Google and Yahoo haven't either...
Can't find resource key "AddTag.NoAdminServiceOnHost" in base name
jrunx/jmc/management/tags/resource.properties
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated? Can I call Adobe?
I just wiped everything, reinstalled vista, cf8, etc. ... all is working fine.
Thanks for the post... I'd be interested to see if that works, and what others
experience. Everything I tried was either a right-click and, "run as
administrator" or at an elevated cmd prompt.
When you run the CF8 installer, even if run as administrator, it's still only
the file extractor. Perhaps parts of the CF8 installer don't have the correct
permissions? Just a thought.
Thanks again
Thanks
I too tried to intall CF8 on Vista Business with IIS7. It failed many times,
unable to build the connectors. Many users have reported similar problems with
no real solutions. In my case I discovered the jrun server would never start
thus preventing the installation of connectors.
Fix: The c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file has a bizarre entry:
::1 localhost
Comment it out using notepad run as administrator like so.
#::1 localhost
Reinstall. Done.
All this is with User Account Control turned off.
getting desperate
If it continues to fail, give us the failure messages. What is in the install
log?
Licensed installations of ColdFusion have free installation support.
The technote http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402192 is published. But, it does not
give much information beyond what is in this thread.
There are no other errors in the install log, other than the ones I listed
when starting this thread a month ago.
If I install with the option to configure IIS, I get:
...port (51020) may be blocked by firewall, etc....
If I use the internal web server and then try the connector tool, I get...
Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost
What's strange is that when using NetStat, a browser, and the log files, I can
see that everything is there and listening.
On one system that was having the problem, I reformatted and reinstalled CF8
first thing, and it worked fine... which leads me to believe that it must be
some sort of 3rd party port/application conflict?
Could that be the case?
I too, just received the same error trying to install CF8 on Vista
Premium. I have disabled all firewalls (norton) including windows
generic firewall and I still get the same error that port 51020 is
blocked! I think this is an Adobe guess more than a certainty. I have
done three installs after uninstalling and doing a registry clean
sweep. and I just can't get past this error. I had better luck running
CF7 except for the RDO errors. I'm seriously thinking of just
partioning my hard drive and installing XP on it but I think I'll try
installing cf8 on my apache server and see if it works...had a similar
problem with PHP and once I put it on Apache I never had another
issue, open source...go figure? Gotta love Capitalism, never mind if
it works correctly just get it out on the store shelf. I'll let you
know what happens.
