Most likely a locking issue? I restarted CF and was then able to delete the service.

I have the same error. I have tried restarting CF, but still "Unable to delete a REST service" If I try to refresh, I get "Unable to refresh a REST service" If I try to edit, I get "Error registering REST service. Please ensure that you have entered a proper mapping and path." The audit log indicates "User admin deleted REST service : C:/inetpub/wwwroot/api/" and "User admin refreshed REST service : C:/inetpub/wwwroot/api/" even though the REST page says unable. Coldfusion-Out log indicates the same, but also includes: "Jun 4, 2013 16:08:44 PM Error [ajp-bio-8012-exec-1] - Not able to connect to Update Site: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable" CF version 10,0,10,284825 64-Bit Windows 2008 R2 Standard SP 1 / 64-bit

Follow Up: After installing latest Windows updates and updating to Java version 7, update 21, the error stopped occurring.

I can duplicate this issue on my end. If you install a REST service, then delete the directory, the admin panel will not delete the registered REST service. It gives the error "Unable to delete REST service", followed by "Error registering REST service. Please ensure that you have entered a proper mapping and path." It's like it is trying to re-register the missing service in order to delete it.

I see this too. CF10, windows 7 and server 2008. See my note for reproduction.

In my case, I changed an Application.cfc that caused a REST service to fail to reinitialize (some really cryptic NullPointerError). Likewise, I got the "Unable to delete REST service" error in the ColdFusion Administrator until I corrected the issue with the Application.cfc. Once corrected, I could delete and reinitialize the REST service. Seems like it should be something that could be unregistered even if compilation/runtime errors occur, but maybe I'm missing something.

We are able to replicate the issue: register rest service through CF Admin -> Remove the directory containing service -> try deleting service from CF Admin -> Gives error Unable to delete REST service. REST service can not be registered. d_isenhower -> Can you please attach Application.cfc that caused REST service to fail to reinitialize. As I tried replicating this case as below: Create rest service cfc: <cfcomponent rest="true" restPath="/timeService"> <cffunction name="sayHello" access="remote" httpMethod="get" returntype="string"> <cfreturn dateTimeFormat(now())> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> Register this service remove returntype="string" from above cfc to make it fail to reinitialize refresh the service CF Admin gives error Still Able to remove the service from CF Admin (Comment added from ex-user id:nawani)

I got an email saying I needed to provide more info for this bug, but I do not see a question for me.

Please specify the scenerio in which the REST service is not getting deleted. As in normal case when i create rest service, i am able to delete it through CF Admin in CF10 update 11 and update 8 (Comment added from ex-user id:nawani)

I'm not able to reproduce it with the latest - so possibly it was fixed.
