Kevin, how come the developers are still doing all the work at Alfred U. :-)
didn't they hire any NT admins yet? -----Original Message----- From: "Kazmierczak>,Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:"Kazmierczak>,Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 1:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: windows .net server 2003 and cf We just got cfmx working with IIS6 on .NET after trying a bunch of different things. We uninstalled our existing cfmx installation and removed all the folders and then did the following. First Attempt We decided maybe we could fool the cfmx installer by changing the registry before we installed it by changing the "Major Version", "SetupString", and "VersionString" to values from an IIS 5 install. But the install still failed at the same spot. So we just installed it as standalone. Second Attempt We copied the wsconfig.jar file to wsconfig.zip and extracted the jrun.dll for the windows isapi folder of the file. Then we created an extension mapping is IIS for .cfm to that dll file. That didn't seem to work for us, but we may have missed a step somewhere on that one. Third Attempt We just followed the directions from that link I send earlier(http://phydiux.com/cfmx_and_IIS6/) and we got it to work just fine. We just copied the cfide directory to inetpub\wwwroot and everything was working fine. So that's what we did to get it to work, granted we did go changing the registry and that's not always a good idea. I am sure there are other ways to get this working.

While those instructions certainly may work, they involve editing the registry to trick the wsconfig tool. It's worth noting that there's an alternative approach, which has worked for me whenever I've had problems with wsconfig - for example, after applying Updater 2 to CFMX running against Apache 2.0.43. The wsconfig utility is a runnable jar file. When you run it, it extracts the appropriate module, places it in a directory, and configures your web server to use the module. You can do this yourself, manually. 1. Copy \cfusionmx\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar to wsconfig.zip. 2. Open in your favorite zip utility. 3. Extract the appropriate module. 4. Edit your web server configuration to use the module. Of course, you have to be able to find the appropriate module, but they're pretty clearly named within the jar file. You also have to know how to set up your web server to use the module. In IIS, you can simply add the appropriate ISAPI extension mapping in the Internet Service Manager; in Apache, you have to add some lines like this to httpd.conf (note that there will be differences depending on where you've placed the module): LoadModule jrun_module "C:/CFusionMX/runtime/lib/wsconfig/2/mod_jrun20.so" <IfModule mod_jrun20.c> JRunConfig Verbose false JRunConfig Apialloc false JRunConfig Ssl false JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false JRunConfig Serverstore "C:/CFusionMX/runtime/lib/wsconfig/2/jrunserver.store" JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51010 #JRunConfig Errorurl <optionally redirect to this URL on errors> AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws </IfModule> Now, there's one missing piece, but so far it hasn't made any difference that I've seen. That's the creation of a "/jrunscripts" web server mapping. When you run wsconfig with IIS 5, that gets mapped to the directory containing the module. Does anyone know exactly what this is for? It doesn't seem to matter if it's omitted, as far as I've seen. Finally, I mentioned setting up the connector module as an ISAPI extension. It can also be set up as an ISAPI filter, but I've stuck to using the ISAPI extension, personally.
