Java JDK issue or any thing else

Question

I have working to setup an project on local. I have used Virtual Box because VMWare Fusion is available for MAC and I am working on windows. During the process when I run “vagrant up --provider=virtualbox” commend then JDK 7 error was displayed error screenshot is given below http://prntscr.com/m7jp7e

After that I have installed “Oracle JDK 8” on /usr/lib/jvm/ path manually on virtual box Linux and then run vagrant up command then again JDK 8 issue is displayed. I have also changed the path of java_home and jdk_version in “coldfusion-server.rb” file. Please have a look error screenshot below. Error Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/9OQC3iLold2r

It is preferrable to post error messages as *text* (not images). Screen shots aren't searchable, so it is harder for others with the same error to find the answer. — SOS, Jan 16 '19 at 15:00
What version of CF are you installing? Which version of CF are you trying to emulate?What Vagrant image are you using to start your CF server? And are you aware of Oracle's Java licensing changes that may impact whatever you're developing for? https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2018/11/15/on_production_use_of_java_going_forward — Shawn, Jan 16 '19 at 15:51
And while I agree with using VirtualBox over VMWare, I believe that VMWare Fusion is available for both Mac and Windows, too. I guess it would depend on what virtual images you were trying to use. Also, I would point out that there's CommandBox (https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox), which is often a much better option for general development. — Shawn, Jan 16 '19 at 16:05

Mac user here! Highly recommend using CommandBox to run any version of Adobe ColdFusion on a Mac. Much easier to deal with than VirtualBox or manual installation. The only issues you might encounter is with older versions of ACF that run on JRun showing errors in CF Admin related to JRun specific references. Nothing to really worry about.

You can change the JDK and other settings used by CommendBox using server.json:

{
    "name":"ACF Application",
    "jvm":{
        "javaHome":"/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk/Contents/Home",
        "heapSize":2048,
        "minHeapSize":1024,
        "args":"-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m"
    },
    "app":{
        "cfengine":"adobe@9.0.2+282541",
        "serverHomeDirectory":"serverHome"
    }
}

These are some of the settings I have to run a legacy ACF 9 on my Mac using an older JDK with non-default memory settings. See Configuring Your Server for more info.
