Hi All,

I have just installed coldfusion 8 on my machine for development use with the
in-built IIS Server.
However, the coldfusion server cannot even be started manually.
Windows Event Viewer says:
"The ColdFusion 8 Application Server service terminated with service-specific
error 2 (0x2)."

Any tips would be much appreciated,
GL

try starting the service manually from the console, on the JRUN version it's
something like c:\jrun4\bin\jrun.exe -start "cfusion" - this should show you
what the problem is in the console (dos) window

If you look @ the JRun log files, they might cast some light on the scene.

C:\JRun4\logs on the multi-server install; I think they're
[coldfusion]\WEB-INF\runtime\logs or something like that on a standard
install.

"The ColdFusion 8 Application Server service terminated with service-specific error 2 (0x2)."

same error here, after months without problems.

I had the same problem on a new test machine. I added more RAM (it was a
virtual server), downloaded the installation file again, and I was able to
install. Not sure if it was the addition of more RAM, or if maybe I had a bad
installation file.

I have this same problem on Windows 2003 SP2. Did anyone who posted previously ever figure out how to fix it?
