Mike, have you verified that .cfm files can indeed be parsed by JRun? i.e. in IIS is the .cfm extension mapped to the correct .dll/.exe
-----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 February 2005 13:05 To: CF-Talk Subject: CF7 won't run under IIS, wont install - business almost shut down for 2 days now. This is very disappointing for me - I had high expectations that the Macromedia install people would have learned from the fiasco surrounding the CFMX6.0 install routines. No such luck. There is no documentation anywhere telling us what to do if the installation doesn't go perfectly. And nowhere does it say that CFMX7 wont work with IIS5.1, the currently installed IIS with WinXPPro. So far it's cost me a lot of hours and i have NO working CFMX on my dev machines. Here's the saga so far .... [A] downloaded the trial version. [B] didnt extract properly (thanks Kay for the heads-up on that!) [C} downloaded another copy, tested it with WinZIP and it worked ok. [D] installed it into my Dev PC and let it take all the defaults. [E] it didnt work. All .cfm files would try to open in dreamweaver or download, not execute. [F] Tried the web site configuration tool - it couldn'lt recognise any jrun and I couldn'lt get it to give me an OK button so i could configure any sites. In the services tool of WinXPPRo it showed that IIS, and JRUN are both running. [G] After mucking about with it for an hour, I decided to uninstall it and try again. [H] uninstalling CFMX7 removed my CFMX6.1 CFIDE folder, so my CFMX, working, administrator was broken. [I] I reinstalled CFMX7, and no change - still didnt work. I decided that despite all the claims to the contrary, it didnt like being on a windowsXPPro PC with CFMX6.1 [J] I uninstalled all versions of CFMX and reinstalled CFMX7. [K] No change to the situation in F, except now i didnt have CFMX6.1 either. Now none of my dev sites work and the only way to do work is to edit in dreamweaver, and upload to the production and test there. BAD!! [L] On the advice from a helpful CF-Talk-er, I ran the batch files to connect to JRUN and IIS, but while they both ran without giving errors, it made no difference. [M] on another suggestion of a helpful CF-Talk-er, I Uninstalled it yet again, rebooted a couple of times, to ensure no trace of CFMX7 remained, then disconnected from ASDL, turned off anti-virus and firewall, and ran the install again. Nothing different. Still IIS is working, ColdFusion isnt. If anyone has any better ideas, I'm at a loss as to what to try next. I've got my back against the wall now, because the only way I can work on any sites is to work directly on the live or the client-viewable staging sites.
