You know there are times when someone makes a post, and trying to be a smartass gets a smartass comment back.
You did open yourself up for an attack, that's all I will say.

It seems to me, no matter how much effort any of us put in to helping (with what I'm not sure), you probably won't be satisfied anyway. Why does Natalie Bastingweight yell all the time? Oww my freakin' ears. On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 7:06 PM, CyberAngel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Excuse me for your total ignorance as well... The release notes if I recall correctly state that it checks the status of the bits, and ask you what to do for IIS. How many times do I have to repeat myself before any of you idiots (sorry but your pissing me off) read what I said. 1) I had apache installed, and the IIS setting was enabled to use 32bit application pools. 2) Coldfusion installed without a problem. 3) Run a cfml page error 500. 4) Uninstalled the official release. 5) Reinstall beta release 6) Able to run cfml pages again. MrFuzzy, like I stated the official release errors when running cfml for some reason it doesn't do as what I read in the release notes. Secondly the beta works, so what the fuck do you want me to do about it. Rewrite the release notes to say that it doesn't do what the installer says it does? Sorry I am pissed of that you expected me to have not read every known issue, release note in public and beta forums on that issue? And there is nothing to say that you have to manually do this, because it all states the installer will do the figuring for you. However if the installer did its job like the release notes says, it asks you, it doesn't ask you. So after all the reading I did, and came across this little tid bit you can shove the release notes up where it fits.... Now if that hurts so be it. -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MrBuzzy Sent: Monday, 14 April 2008 6:46 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 8U1 and Vista Please forgive my simpleton response.. Did you read the 801 release notes? It seems to cover the caveats of 64 bit, especially connectors etc. cheers On 4/14/08, CyberAngel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Because you did not read my post. > > For apache to run under Vista 64bit, the application pools need to be in > 32bit mode enabled.
