Hi Nathan, I've run CF 7 and 9 on IIS 6 and 7 with various ASP.NET applications (from .NET 4.0 all the way down to 1.1, both 32 and 64 bit) where CF lived behind the same IIS instance as the .NET applications. I can say with some degree of certainty that the vendors explanation smells a bit (okay, like Russ said it's crap).
I've never had any major issues with them living together (none of these are really monster apps so resource contention isn't an issue) outside of configuration in IIS for .NET specific stuff (like Russ was alluding to with the handler mappings). It could also be that you need to set the correct permissions on the site or application (Script or Script and Executables I think are the options for IIS 6). 404.17 states that it's attempting to run a script page from a static handler. You'll find lots of interesting possibilities if you Google 404.17. But mysteriously, CF is never mentioned as a possible issue... *grin* Lincoln -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Chen [mailto:nathan.c...@cu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 6:04 PM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: runing CF and ASP.NET on the same web server (IIS 6) Dave, Thank you. Have you run both CF and ASP.NET on the same sever? I am trying to install a web program that we bought from a vendor(written in ASP.NET). After installation I encountered "http error 404.17 - not found". I contacted the vendor and they said it would not work if both are on the same web server. Here is what they said: ---------------------------------------- Cold Fusion is a web application framework that is installed on a web server. It allows a developer to build web sites using a simple set of tools and those websites, instead of running directly on the web server, run on top of the Cold Fusion components installed on the server. ASP.NET is the basic web application framework built into Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 servers. In IIS, there is a configuration file that defines the basic settings of ASP.NET. This configuration file (called the "machine.config") is not to be tampered with generally. Unfortunately, when Cold Fusion is installed, this configuration file is altered drastically. Several core sections in the file are removed or changed and some new sections are added. This renders most newer ASP.NET web applications unable to run on the same server. If these sections in this machine.config file are put back to their default state, then the ASP.NET applications will run just fine but Cold Fusion will no longer function. ----------------------------------------- Nathan -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 2:52 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: runing CF and ASP.NET on the same web server (IIS 6) > If I set up a ASP.NET site along with my CF site under wwwroot, do I > need to do anything special, or on separate port? No, as long as CF is configured to use IIS. Of course, if either application has resource contention issues, you might see them earlier with both applications active.
