We tried to reproduce this bug with CF 11 with out hotfix (build #289974) and CF 11 with hotfix2 (build #291725) with the steps mentioned in the bug and it works as expected. Could you please share CF 11 build number and error logs. (Comment added from ex-user id:duttswam)

The issue still exists in hotfix 5. I did a completely new install on a Wndows 2012 server. In first place everything was working fine. After I installed and configured a loopback adapter for our loadbalancer, the clusterintances didn't start anymore. I raised a new bug CF-3991100 for this same issue. Can this be fixed as soon as possible or can you provide me with a workaround? I don't want to downgrade to hotfix 2!

Found another workaround which is downgrade Apache Tomcat in the runtime/lib folders to version 7.0.52, which was used with the original release of CF11.

Finally be able to get CF11 clusters working with HF3 and later. Thanks to Chris Tierney's blog I finally found the real solution for this issue: http://christierney.com/2015/01/20/coldfusion-11-will-not-start-after-enabling-j2ee-session-variables/ You have to turn off Tomcat persistent sessions: Open {cf instance}/runtime/conf/context.xml Uncomment <Manager pathname=”” /> Save file and close Start ColdFusion
