Update on yesterday’s challenges

Yesterday I hit the ground running at 2:30am and was taking names! Somewhere around 7am I had a problem with my server and productivity ground to a halt. I spent the entire day working the issue and still don’t have it working. My server is a development server accessible only to me and sports ColdFusion 4.5 and ColdFusion MX 6.1. It now also has ColdFusion 7 installed. CF 4.5 works fine. CFMX 6.1 and 7 both refuse to start as a service. The timing on this issue couldn’t be worse.

From the cf7 runtime/logs/coldfusion-event.log:
