Updating JRun for ColdFusion MX7 running on IIS

  • 772

Old, I know, but that's what I'm working with.

I need to update to JRun update 6 (or 7) but the Adobe site only has a .exe installer.

  • That installer wants to update C:\JRun4\.
  • That folder doesn't exist, and my JRun.exe is in D:\CFUSION\runtime\bin\.
  • ColdFusion is up to date (for that era) at MX7.02, so I assume I need to update JRun directly.

Is there a way to update JRun 4 automatically or manually when it is part of the ColdFusion install?

iis-6 jrun coldfusion

  1. Odd that you would need to apply the JRun updater when things are installed under CFUSION. Are you sure you're running the Enterprise CF using JRun? Because standard (or single instance) ColdFusion will install using JRun, but in those cases you don't update using the JRun updaters. As far as I've ever seen you only need to apply the CF patches and not focus on JRun stuff.

    So if you're not installing the multi-instance using JRun version of CF Enterprise, then I don't think you need the JRun updaters...

    The solution ended up being the simple one. Change the installation location of JRun to COLDFUSION_ROOT_DIRECTORY\runtime\ (or the runtime folder in your CF installation, wherever it is.)

    The full update, which I had to do for the JVM update, was:

    1. Install new JDK
    2. Shutdown CF Server
    3. Install JRun updater
    4. Edit COLDFUSION_ROOT_DIRECTORY\runtime\bin\jvm.config and point JAVA_HOME to point to the new location
    5. Start CF Server

    Note that the JRun update took quite a while on my Dev server (~15 minutes) but only a couple minutse on my production server. Outside of a slight difference in server hardware, I don't know why this was.
