J2EE configuration problems

Problem: When you install JRun 4, then install the ColdFusion MX 7 WAR, and attempt to open the ColdFusion MX Administrator, the following error appears:

500 The Security service is not available.
The security service is not available.

Solution: Look at the log files in cfusion/logs to see if a message indicates that you need the Java Crypto Extensions (JCE) on a 1.3 JVM. (The 1.4 JVM has this preconfigured.) Run JRun 4 Updater, making sure that you specify the correct directory.

Problem: There is inconsistent behavior when you try to launch JRun using /opt/jrun4/bin/jrun.

Solution: Launch JRun using the following:

/yourJAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar /opt/jrun4/lib/jrun.jar -start cfusion

ColdFusion MX Administrator fields not editable

Problem: When you run the pure Java installation kit (coldfusion-70-other.jar) on Mac OS X in GUI mode, the password and confirm password fields on the Administrator Password panel are not editable.

Solution: To be able to enter a password, click Next, and then click OK when the message that you cannot have a blank password appears. You can then enter a password.
