Hi Michael, good to know !

Would have been interesting to see, what caused this 500er error.
Did you switch on advanced error messages in the IIS ?

Ok. Progress.

CF services all started:

Adobe ColdFusion 9 AS CF2 (We have a multi server install so one of our instances is called CF2)
ColdFusion 9 .NET Service
ColdFusion 9 ODBC Agent
ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server
ColdFusion 9 Search Server
Macromedia JRun Admin Server
Macromedia JRun CFusion Server

IIS7.5 services started:

IISADMIN
W3SVC

The Error I was getting was that either the web page localhost/farcry (Using IE 9 on the dev server) would time out with a server 500 error or no error at all just a timeout. 

CF log files don't show any meaningful errors. 

Trying to get to localhost/cfide/administrator would give me 403 forbidden to browse directory so I enabled directory browsing went to the proper directory and was then able to get to the CF admin login page. Huh? 

Went back and disabled directory browsing and still able to get to the admin page so from here I am going to copy the prod Farcry database, create a new db called FCDEV on our SQL server and point the CF admin at that db so we are running completely separate databases for prod and dev. 

I think I'm on my way. Thanks for the help

Michael

Hi Michael,
is CF running alone at all ?
Is the webserver running alone at all ?
Did you check the CF-logfiles already ?

Hi everyone,

I have cloned our existing Farcry 6.1.3 web server (Windows 2008R2) running CF 9.1 and IIS7.5. It is now on VMWare ESX 4.1 as a virtual machine. The problem is none of the sites will start up. I expected that I would have some start up issues but I'm not sure where to start.

I definitely want to change the data source to use a copy of the production database but I can't get the cfadmin web site to run. Of course the machine name and IP addresses are different so I am wondering what files or settings need to be edited so it is looking at the new server name (alb-fcdev) so I can get this dev server working.

Right now I don't want to clobber the existing SQL 2008 database running our production web server so I need to change the data source in the CFadmin but can't get it running to do so. 

Any tips? I'm looking through the farcry-dev group but can't find anyone yet that's cloned an existing production server. I can provide whatever information you need to help me troubleshoot this startup problem.
