cfindex:Unable to connect to the ColdFusion Search service

Coldfusion, Verity

Problem I ran into recently where I knew the collection existed. Running Coldfusion 8 in multiserver configuration on a Windows machine that previously had Coldfusion 7 installed. Tried to use the cfindex tag to no avail.

Trial and error and some reading here on Adobe's site led me to this:

  1. Uninstalled Coldfusion 7 Search Service still on the box
  2. Checked cfadmin to see what ports should be used 9951, 9921 & 9961
  3. Noted that k2index.exe and k2server.exe services were not running via cports (i.e. 9921 & 9961)
  4. ran C:\JRun4\verity\verity-install.bat and noted the following errors:
    1. WARNING: The RCAdmin call failed. Command = styleset 1 "Def_FileSystem" 1 1 filesys "default File System style files" y exit
    2. WARNING: The RCAdmin call failed. Command = styleset 1 "ColdFusionK2" 1 1 filesys "ColdFusion K2 Style Files" y exit
    3. WARNING: The RCAdmin call failed. Command = styleset 1 "ColdFusionVspider" 1 1 filesys "ColdFusion Vspider Style Files" y exit
    4. WARNING: The RCAdmin call failed. Command = serverset 1 "ColdFusionK2_server1" 9921 "ColdFusion K2Server" y y y ColdFusionK2 "C:\JRun4\verity\k2\common" 200 2 n 300000 900000 y exit
    5. WARNING: The RCAdmin call failed. Command = indexerset 1 "ColdFusionK2_indexserver1" 9961 "ColdFusion K2 Index Server" ColdFusionK2 4 1 y exit
  5. ran C:\JRun4\verity\k2\_nti40\bin\rcadmin.exe
    1. styledel Def_FileSystem
    2. styledel ColdfusionK2
    3. styledel ColdfusionVspider
  6. ran C:\JRun4\verity\verity-install.bat (still will get serverset and indexerset failure messages)

Works again.

Think the problem is either because (a) had Coldfusion 7 search service installed or (b) the admin.xml files inside the verity directory (subdirectory) had bad values in them and running styledel and subsequently the .bat file resolved it.

Note that running the verity\verity-uninstall.bat should reset the verity config and allow you to re-run the verity-install.bat script.

It copies a blank admin.xml file to the k2admin config directory for you.

@Tom, where would/should the blank admin.xml be coming from? I searched for the file, based on the error messages I was getting, but only found numbered admin0.xml - admin9.xml in /Jrun4/verity/Data/host/admin.
