ColdFusion 11 crash

Question

I was messing around with the class path in my CF11 admin due to a project that I am working on and I managed to crash the server to the point where the only thing that I get is a nice blue screen with a 500 error. I've checked the logs and I will paste what I can on the bottom of the post but my hope is that someone will enlighten me so I won't have to re-install CF because I am on an amazon AMI instance and I don't even know if I can do that (haven't checked yet).

This is my jvm file

# VM configuration

# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM is used
# if not then it must be the path to the JRE itself

java.home=C:\\ColdFusion11\\jre

# If no java.home is specified a VM is located by looking in these places in this
# order:

I assume you were editing the classpath via the CF administrator? If so, look for the jvm.config file Adam mentioned and restore it from a backup, or another stock install.

You didn't appear to mention the type of ColdFusion install, or the operating system of your AMI instance. My standalone ColdFusion 11 install on Windows 7 has the jvm.config here:

C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin\jvm.config

And the contents are as follows. Do not simply copy it wholesale as you might not have the exact same paths or memory settings as I do. You can however use it as a point of reference for comparison. Sorry, I would have just put this as a comment, but the file was too big for that.
