PGP Conflicts with JRun Web Server Configuration t
Posted by Steven Wood having to do with Tips & Tricks

Today I was tasked with setting up a new website (Jrun server) on our Coldfusion MX 6.1 servers.  I was following my setup documentation when I got to the point where I needed to connect my Jrun server to my IIS website.  Upon running the JRun Web Server Configuration tool, I received the following error:

Created file C:CFusionMXuntimelibwsconfigjrunwin32.dll
Could not connect to any Jrun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost.
Possible causes:
Server not running
-Start Macromedia JRun4 or ColdFusion MX server
Server running
-JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or
firewall on server
-host restriction in security.properties blocking communications with
server
Press any key to continue...

We maintain 2 Coldfusion servers and BOTH of them were giving me this error.  I had never seen it before.  What had changed on the servers?  Last week, the latest version of PGP Desktop had been installed on both servers.

I uninstalled PGP Desktop on one server and rebooted.  The Web Server Configuration tool ran fine.

I don't know exactly what is going on here, but obviously the PGP install was somehow interfering with certain ports that were supposed to be accessible by the config tool.
