Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7
I have a similar problem, though I arrived at it a different way. IIS 5 on Windows XP. CF running in J2EE mode on top of JRun4. Befor installing CF7 I decided to re-install JRun. That went fine. I downloaded the J2EE version of CF 7 installed the cfusion server in JRun. That's also fine. I can run CF apps and JSPs/servlets via the JRun web server with no problem. Also, IIS is serving HTML, ASP and Perl with no problems. Now, to connect CF up to IIS. I ran the JRun Web Server Config Tool and connected the cfusion server to All web sites in IIS. I see in IIS that the JRunScripts virtual dir has been created and the jrun.dll has appeared, and the mappings for cfm, cfc etc have been created. However, when I try to hit a .cfm page that's located under wwwroot I get Cannot find server or DNS error. Or sometimes, it just hangs. What am I missing?

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7

Whoah. Excitement! But nothing different. It appears to install correctly, I let it have whatever defaults it wants, followed all the instructions the installer gave me, but no change.Still wants to download any .cfm file instead of execute it.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7
No I haven't. Why? Wouldn't that mean IIS wouldnt be running and therefore my non-CF sites woudlnt work? I could give it a try I guess. Nothing else has worked. But I still think the installation routine ought to work with WinXPPro, (which it apparently does in most cases) but give a hint as to what was wrong when it doesnt go as expected. Then it ought to either give instructions about what to do, or point the user (me) to some resources to help solve the issue. This has been a bloody fiasco, and has cost me a considerable amount of time and trouble, and it's just a good thing I'm not earning all my income from coldfusion development at the moment or it would have cost me two days income so far.

Mike No I haven't. Why? Wouldn't that mean IIS wouldnt be running and therefore my non-CF sites woudlnt work? No, you can run IIS and JRun's builtin server simultaneously on different ports. JRun will automatically choose a port that's free. However, using the builtin server isn't really very satisfactory if you want a local dev or staging copy of a site which is deployed on IIS in production - which is why I too am trying to get IIS connected to CF.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7
Mike, I'm afraid you are in a vast minority here as 1000s of people have installed CF7 successfully. Placing the blame on MM may be a bit hasty. From you last post, the install seems to be working fine, but the web server connector is failing. Being that there are a number of external issues you may introduce with how you setup IIS, I would focus on trying to reestablish that connection rather than keep reinstalling. Have you tried running wsconfig? Will CF parse templates through the built-in web server? -Adam On Wed, 23 Feb 2005 23:46:47 +1100, Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So that means I'd have to uninstall it (AGAIN!) and reinstall it, using the internal web server option wouldn't it?

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7
I had to download the distribution file twice. I opened it with winzip the first time and it wouldn't extract. So i didnt proceed any further. I downloaded another copy and that did extract ok with winzip. I deleted the extracted files and double clicked the installation and it went ahead and did it's tricks. Looked fine. That's where the happy experience ended. It broke my CFMX installation, deleting the CFIDE directory so I couldn't administer that. It didnt work itself. I had no choice but to remove both CFMX (and 18 months of tweaks and settings, 30-or so datasources, and 40 plus mappings) I removed both versions and started again fresh. WONT BLOODY WORK! This is just like the problems I had installing CFMX6.0. That took more than 14 hours for my single PC setup. I try to use the web server confirguration tool and it won't enable the OK button so I'm stuffed there.No indication on the livedocs (the only way I can see the documentation now my local server's broken) as to what to do if something doesnt go exactly as normal. So now, not only do i NOT have a CFMX7 installation, I dont have a CFMX6.1 either, and none of my dev sites work. Nor does my intranet, and most of my resources are unavailable to me now. I HATE INSTALLING COLDFUSION!! But it's after midnight now, I'm going to give it another 30 minutes, and then i'm going to have to leave it until tomorrow night. GR!!! RGHH!

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7
Do add to the frustration, nowhere on the site or any of the documentation does it say that ColdFusionMX7 will run with IIS5.1 only IIS6. Does anyone knwo if it does run with IIS5 as used in WinXPProSP2?? Under to verify your IIS installation it says [quote] Verify that the following file was created: cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig/jrun.dll [/quote] Well the file that was created there is not called jrun.dll, it's called jrunwin32.dll. Does that make a difference? Is that why when I start up the web server configuration tool, It doesnt work because it can't connect to a jrun server?
