ColdFusion MX 7 fails to start when used with a 64-bit Java VMProducts affected
Issue
After installation, ColdFusion MX 7 fails to start on a 64-bit Java VM.
The exact error message generated varies, depending on the operating system. For example, the following error would be generated on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3.0:
ln: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /bin/ps: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Starting ColdFusion MX 7... The ColdFusion MX 7 server is starting up and will be available shortly. sleep: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ps: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There has been an error starting ColdFusion MX 7, please check the logs.
Reason
ColdFusion MX 7 is not supported on a 64-bit Java VM. Enhancement request 59638 has been opened to add 64-bit Java VM support in a future release of ColdFusion MX.
Solaris on SPARC-based 64-bit hardware is a 64-bit operating system with a 64-bit Java VM. ColdFusion MX 7, however, will install the Sun Solaris 32-bit Java VM with either the stand-alone "Server" or the "Multi-Server" installation options. These configurations will work properly and are officially supported. Please see TechNote ColdFusion MX 7 support for 64-bit platforms.
