Links, EOL, and Log Locations

Numerous useful repeatedly used links, logs path list, ColdFusion, Java JVM specifics too! You are gonna love my post. Where is the IIS metabase, How do I tune/troubleshoot?

Java and JVM:

ON CF9 C:\JRun4\bin

look for hs-pid prefixed files = jvm crash

Adobe ColdFusion Blog: Which JDK is supported with ColdFusion 9, 10, and 11?
Adobe Forums: ColdFusion 9 and Java 8 (short answer is no)
Charlie Arehart: How to identify what jvm.config a ColdFusion instance uses (and vice-versa)
ColdFusion 9 and prior:
c:\JRun4\bin

ColdFusion 10 and later actually create one for each instance.
Example below is for instance named cfusion, but cfusion can be replaced with any instance name.
C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\jvm.config
C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin\jvm.config

JVM Performance/Flags/Get to know me:

Java Keystores:

CertMan: “A Coldfusion Administrator Extension that allows adding/viewing/removing of SSL certificates in the Java certificate store from within the Administrator.” Validated on “CFMX7/CF8/CF9/CF10” and worked on CF11 in my experience, ymmv.

ColdFusion defaulted JVM Keystore Pass and flag:

-storepass changeit
