Server won't start/Bad JVM?

Running CFMX7.02. After noticing that the Java version was
1.4 something (the version originally supplied with the product in
2006), and that I couldn't do things like use the ''browse server''
controls in CFAdministrator without getting Java errors, I
repointed the CF engine to use the version supplied by Java on
their website today. Now the server won't start.



From the CF error log:



Error: no `server' JVM at `C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\server\jvm.dll'.



Windows event log is no help, reporting that is has received
''server-specific error code 2''. Based on the advice of some earlier
topic, I tried to restart the service with ''interact with the
Desktop'' checked, but no DOS window there.



Any ideas? I'd be happy to point CF back to its own version
of Java, if I could do so without interacting with the
Administrator (which requires starting the server).
Server won't start/Bad JVM?
1. CF 7 does not support JVMs higher than 1.4.2_11



2. You should install the full JDK so you'll get the server
version of the JVM



3. You change change the JVM version by editing the
jvm.config file.

Ah. That explains
that.

Got it--and thanks for the extremely quick reply.

However, what can I do to fix the Java errors that keep me
from using the GUI file-browsing components in the CFAdministrator,
since I can't upgrade the main Java engine?




Try installing the 1.4.2_11 j2sdk from Sun and then configure
your server to run on that version.

Some clarification:

The java plugin used by the browser is separate from the JVM
running coldfusion. As far as I know you can install multiple
versions of java on a machine. Just be sure CF is using a
compatible version.
ColdFusion 7.0.2 is supported on the entire 1.4.2_x platform.
Adobe just doesn't test each release. But if you're on 1.4.2_x
they'll give you support. _15 is the latest, last I checked and
there are some serious bugs that were fixed after _11.
