CFServer Problem
Me again. I've been working for several days to repair whatever problem has mangled my ColdFusion installation. I've uninstalled everything related to CF that I can find, cleaned up the registry, uninstalled IIS, reinstalled Windows, reinstalled IIS, reinstalled ColdFusion, and I continue to have the same problem. In addition I've spent considerable time on both Microsoft's and Macromedia's web sites and in the books. So I throw myself on the mercy of you guys. There has to be an expert who's faced a similar problem and who can point me in the right direction. I'm running: Win2K Pro (plenty of RAM and disk space - no current registry errors) IIS 5.0 - The server displays its default files and help system, so I know it's running okay. I had MDAC 2.7, but I think my most recent reinstallation of CF may have reinstalled MDAC 2.0 (but reinstalling 2.7 doesn't change the situation) CF 4.01 This is the error message I get in Windows Events: The SiteMinder Authentication Service service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. Authorization Service is not running either. It displays: The SiteMinder Authorization Service service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. For both, Windows displays Event ID: 7000 My choices are to call Microsoft ($$), call Macromedia ($$), or take my computer to a local repair shop ($$). Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: CFServer Problem
John, I might be wrong, but as far as I know 4, Win2k is unsupported by CF 4.01 I think you must run at least 4.5.x Uwe Hello John, Monday, January 6, 2003, 6:15:30 AM, you wrote: JA> Me again.

Re: CFServer Problem
Good thought, Uwe, but I've run 4.01 under Win2K for a year and a half without a hiccup. But, thanks anyway. My suspicions run toward the IIS Metabase or some Windows .dll that got corrupted. Whatever files the two Siteminder apps depend on have been corrupted, or something is preventing them from being installed. -John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > John, I might be wrong, > but as far as I know 4, Win2k is unsupported > by CF 4.01 > I think you must run at least 4.5.x > Uwe > > Hello John, > > Monday, January 6, 2003, 6:15:30 AM, you wrote: > > JA> Me again. > > JA> I've been working for several days to repair whatever problem has > JA> mangled my ColdFusion installation.

I can't turn them on, since they are off.

RE: CFServer Problem
This is going to sound really stupid, but it's a solution to a similar problem in my installation. Worth a try: When you attempt to access the datasources, try to log in. It will give you the error message. Then try again immediately. In my installation, for whatever reason, this works. It's just development, so I don't really care. If your error is happening in production, though, perhaps it's indicative of a broader problem? I don't know. In any case, hope this helps.

IIS / CFServer Problem
I've WinXP with IIS installed with Cold Fusion Server 5, default website IP all unassigned, CF administrator shows up http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm. I can view html & CFM pages on the sites on my computer just fine as long as my cable modem is not hooked up to the internet. The moment I connect, I get an "internal server error 500" and I can no longer view any of the pages. I've changed the IP in the default site to be my real IP, but now I'm getting "Gateway Timeout - The following error occurred: A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable." So where do I go from here to be able to access the pages when I'm hooked up to the net? I'm just starting with this. I'd like to know if I just need to change a setting or if this is some complicated mess... Thanks so much for you time - I really appreicate it! Britta __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: IIS / CFServer Problem
I found the solution! I had to go in and manually configure the LAN Settings -(Network Settings-Change Settings-Advanced-Change Settings, which brings you to Services) and checking "web server" and inputting my specific IP. Then I changed 127.0.0.1 to my IP in the IIS Site Manager as well, and changed the IP of http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm to include my IP instead as well. Installing IIS and CF Server for some reason did not automatically recoginize and configure this connection. I'm incuding these details just in case another newbie has the same problem...
