New ColdFusion 10 Server Instance Won't Start
I have a previously installed ColdFusion 10 Multi-server installation that is up and running well. When I create a new instance, via the ColdFusion Administrator, with "Create Windows Service" checked, all seems to go well; the new instance shows up in the Administrator and the new directory structure is created on the server, but the new instance won't start. If I go to the Windows Services panel, on the server, and try to manually start the new service, I get:
Windows could not start the ColdFusion 10 Application Server newServer on Local
Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a
non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to the service
specific error code 2.
The Windows System Event log contains the following:
The ColdFusion Application Server newServer service terminated with non-specific
error. The system cannot find the file specified.
I have searched both the web and the Adobe site for a solution, but have come up empty handed. I would appreciate any insight.
Thanks in advance.
Update from the comments
Starting the service from the command prompt I see this error:
C:\ColdFusion10\newServer\bin>coldfusion.exe -start -console
ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize,

Answer
It could be a port conflict issue. You can check the Event Viewer logs. Try the following:-
- Stop ColdFusion service
- Launch Command prompt as Administrator
- Browse to cf_root\cfusion\bin and run the following command coldfusion.exe -start -console
- Try to access the CF admin, once the services are started.
In case it gives an error message, please share the same.
