Updated my local CF2021 install to update 5, and now CF will not start. server.log file shows the lines below. Not sure where to look next... any advice?
Copy code
"Severity","ThreadID","Date","Time","Application","Message"
"Information","main","10/20/22","10:13:12","","C:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\logs\server.log initialized"
"Fatal","main","10/20/22","10:13:12","","Unable to install Logging package: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.logging.log4j.util.StackLocatorUtil.getCallerClassLoader(I)Ljava/lang/ClassLoader;"

To be more accurate... the windows CF service shows as
started
but requests result in a 500 error:
update... install log shows 4 "moving files failed" messages and one "failed to delete directory" message.
attempted to run uninstall, but still stuck in same state so far.

I was going to suggest you clear out the class files, but those install log errors seem more ominous.
m
agreed
gotta be a file permissions issue
I'm just gonna roll back to my VMware snapshot and try again.
c
Did you apply the update through the CF Administrator web interface, or from the command line?
m
via the CF Admin
i attempted to update from 3 directly to 5. this time i'm going to go via update 4.
c
Might also try from the command line, running As Administrator. There's a step (that I can't find documentation for at the moment) required to make the CFAdmin update process work if you've run the lockdown tool.
m
yeah, even updating to 4 has caused the same issue.
the admin ui is also unable to stop/start the CF service, so that's in the mix too.

Likely to be better to ask Qs like this in #adobe where the Adobe bods can see it and provide a response...
There's a long thread there already from someone trying the same update and borking there install...
