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? > > Gawd it'll mean hours of testing and reconfiguring all my sites.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7
So that means I'd have to uninstall it (AGAIN!) and reinstall it, using the internal web server option wouldn't it? Gawd it'll mean hours of testing and reconfiguring all my sites. I am NOT looking forward to this. And the only reason I started this at all was because Tim Buntel convinced me it was easy to install, wouldn't cause muh disruption and I'd be able to get a good look at the new product. Not for any immediate use, mind you, but just in case I work for a client who has CF7. Sometimes I think I'm a really really slow learner. I had this same kind of problem installing CFMX6.0 - took a week in that case - and I swore I'd never install a version x.0 of anything ever again. I forgot that lesson and look what happened. Pity Macromedia's install guys haven't learned from the fiasco their MX6.0 caused. Remember the way it wouldn't install unless you had a 256colour video card on your server, but none of the documentation said so?They have been pretty short-changed on documentation on this install routine too.

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.

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
Thanks Michael, I did both of those things, and they apparently did what they're supposed to, because there were no error messages, but then what? I still can't get the administrator to work, because it still wants to download the index.cfm file rather than run it. If i run the jrun web server configuration tool, it still doesn't enable the OK button, still can't find any Jrun. If I try to manually configure the IIS5.1 because apparently the installAnywhere routine doesnt want to, I can't even add the .cfm file extension to the configuration of the default site, because there is no .exe file to add to the dialog box. I still say there ought to be some information at macromedia.com to help people for whom things dont go perfectly. Like me. I think that's far more important than explaining what happens when it's a perfect installation for people who never need to see it.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Problems installing CFMX 7
Oh I do love installation instructions that are totally useless like the Macromedia livedocs Getting started documentation. If everything works fine, you dont need to read them because it all works, and you never even get to look at them. But look at what it does in the "To verify your IIS configuration" section: [quote] 3. Verify that each of your IIS websites has a virtual directory called JRunScripts. [/quote] But no hint as to what to do if you dont have such a virtual directory.Oh yes I could create one, but is that all I'd have to do? Just create a directory? hey guys at Macromedia - the ONLY reason I'm reading this documentaion is because IT DIDNT GO WELL!!! I NEED HELP ABOUT WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS BLOODY MESS!You give no help whatsoever for anyone who doesnt have everything working perfectly. And anyone who has everything working perfectly doesnt need your documentation. What's with that/? What were you guys thinking of???

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?

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!
