It's an HTTP status 503. Here's the IIS log #Fields: c-ip cs-username s-sitename s-ip s-port cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query sc-status sc-win32-status sc-bytes cs-bytes time-taken cs-version cs-host cs(User-Agent) 127.0.0.1 - W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 80 GET /x.cfm - 503 0 0 400 610 HTTP/1.1 127.0.0.1 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows;+U;+Windows+NT+5.1;+en-US;+rv:1.7.5)+Gecko/20041107+Fir efox/1.0 127.0.0.1 - W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 80 GET /x.cfm - 503 0 0 482 0 HTTP/1.1 127.0.0.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1)+Opera+7.20++[en] 127.0.0.1 - W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 80 GET /x.cfm - 503 0 0 229 0 HTTP/1.1 127.0.0.1 amaya/8.1b+libwww/5.4.0 127.0.0.1 - W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 80 GET /x.cfm - 503 0 0 265 0 HTTP/1.0 127.0.0.1 Mozilla/4.7+[en-gb]+(WinNT;+I) 127.0.0.1 - W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 80 GET /x.cfm - 503 0 0 194 0 HTTP/1.0 127.0.0.1 Lynx/2.8.3rel.1+libwww-FM/2.14FM 127.0.0.1 - W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 80 GET /x.cfm - 503 0 0 101 0 HTTP/1.0 127.0.0.1 Wget/1.8.1 All those different browsers return variants on the same theme: nothing whatsoever, "empty document", "unexpected network error" etc. Robust debugging is on (as I said, CF is fine with the builtin web server so I can use the administrator) but since nothing is getting back to the browser, that makes no difference. It occurred to me that the reason why JSPs are working and CFM aren't is probably connected with the fact that they are being handled by different Enterprise Applications within the server. So IIS is pointing all the requests at the "cfusion" server, but within that the JSPs are being handled by "default-ear" and CFMs are supposed to be handled by "Macromedia ColdFusion MX", i.e. "cfusion-ear". I've been trying to figure out where this division of responsibilities is configured. I see that in cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF the web.xml file contains servlet-mappings for .cfm, .cfc and .cfml, and the same in j2ee-web.xml (what is this file for?). Whereas the web.xml in cfusion/default-ear/default-war/WEB-INF contains no servlet mappings at all. However, further up, at the server level, in cfusion/SERVER-INF, there is a servlet mapping for .jsp. I don't know enough about JRun to know how these files will be used - but could there be something wrong here? Should I even have 2 different Enterprise Applications within the cfusion server?
