Coldfusion 8 Application Server can't start

Get Started
1

Recently I switched from Windows XP 32-bits OS to Windows 7 64-bit OS. I still use Coldfusion 8 Application Server 32-bit Developer Edition at Windows 7 64-bit OS.

I am still using Coldfusion debugger to line debugging with CFEclipse, and sometimes the debugger stuck or can’t stop at a break point, then I usually restart the coldfusion 8 application server service to restart the coldfusion debugger. This situation happens at both my Windows XP and Windows 7 computers.

However, I encountered a trouble that I hadn’t met before: at my Windows 7 computer, if the debugger got stuck or can’t stop at a break point, then I tried to restart the coldfusion 8 application server service, the service said it couldn’t be stopped. Although after a while, it was indeed stopped!

After it was stopped, I tried to start the service. The first time the service would be turned on in a second, super fast! After about 5 seconds, the service switched from started to stopped automatically, since I only see ‘Start’ at the context menu. If I tried to start the service again, it took super long, and finally said “The ColdFusion 8 Application Server service could not be started. Check the server “coldfusion” log files for more information.”

The only way to start the coldfusion 8 application server service will be reboot the computer, or install coldfusion 8 32-bit server again, either of which is painful.

I tried the following methods, and none of them worked:

  1. I modified the debugger port at C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\bin\jvm.config and/or Coldfusion 8 Administrator, say from 5005 to 5006 or other ports.

  2. I restarted all other services that are already running in the system.

Could anybody please help?

Thank you in advance!
