RE: CF9.01 / Windows Server 2008 R2 / IIS7 multi-instance configuration
I have separate application pools for each site/instance and they're all set up to use the same user account, so I would think either all would work or none. Regardless, when I decided to try tackling this again yesterday afternoon, I was able to access each of the sites from my PC, so at least that part is straightened out (I think). Straightened out the last issue with the cfusion instance this morning, so I think I'm good to go now. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

RE: CF9.01 / Windows Server 2008 R2 / IIS7 multi-instance configuration
Yes, it's Server 2008 R2. I did modify the firewall settings the other day, so it's possible that might be why it's working now. I'm not necessarily sure that I made the *correct* changes though. Right now I have it turned off for the Domain and Private profiles and turned on for Public. Domain is the one I turned off the other day. This server is inside the firewall, connected to our network, with CF using a domain account to logon. Is there a better way I should have these firewall profiles configured? -Original Message- From: Russ Michaels [mailto:r...@michaels.me.uk] Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 9:38 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CF9.01 / Windows Server 2008 R2 / IIS7 multi-instance configuration are you running windows 2008 by any chance?
