Issues with starting CFT on Windows 2008 64bit server following install
Problem
Resolution
Fix for issues when installing CFT on a Windows 2008 Server
1. Make a backup copy of all files under the $CFT_HOME/runtime/data directory.
2. Run the cftext command to create a backup of the current cofiguration. Command is - cftutil cftext fout=outputfile.txt
3. Stop CFT if its running.
4. Delete all files under $CFT_HOME/runtime/data directory except the cft_uconf.dat file
5. Run 'cftinit outputfile.txt' . This should restore all files under data directory. If not, copy over the files from backup to the data directory.
5. Start CFT.
Resolution
Issue was actually a problem with the 4.2 installer and has been corrected in the 4.4 installer. There is no longer a requirement to process the workaround.
