RE: CF and Windows 2000 Website
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Internet Services Manager Right click on the computer in the let pane. Choose New and then Web Site from the popup window. The website creation wizard comes up. The prompts are: Description. I usually put the domain name here. IP and port settings. Pick the IP that this site will answer to. Leave everything else alone. Path. Sounds like this should be c:\inetpub\wwwroot\abc for your example. Click Next and finish. Now right-click on the web site you just created (it just appeared in the left pane of IIS Mgr underneath the default web site). Choose Properties from the menu and click the Home Directory tab. Set Application Protection to Low (IIS Process). Click OK. Those are the very basic steps. You should definitely look into how to set the server up as securely as possible before diving in. --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -Original Message- From: Tangorre, Michael T.

I am trying to do the following (never done it before): On one of our test servers we have Windows 2000 Server running IIS 5 and CF 5. The default website is setup and I need to create a new one. Well the cfdocs and cfide folders are inside the wwwroot folder which is the path to the default website. How do I create a new site that will work.. Right now I have a folder inside the wwwroot folder (default website) that is called ABC and want to be able to execute Cf templates inside it but right now I get a 404 error displayed by CF server. Any ideas? Do I need to remove the ABC folder and redefine thesite? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mike __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Re: CF and Windows 2000
Thanks for all of the replies. I'm going to upgrade to 4.5.1 and try running Apache. Birgit was kind enough to send detailed instructions for getting it up and running. Thanks again!

Re: CF and Windows 2000
You could run Apache's NT version on the Windows 2000 station. www.apache.org provides the 3.20 version with a nice installation program that runs smoothly in a Windows environment. Make sure you move the CF Module for Apache servers from the CF/bin directory into the apache/modules directory and edit Apache's http.conf accordingly If you need more info let me know Birgit Monday, August 27, 2001, 3:50:17 AM, you wrote: Hi, Has anyone had problems running CF 4.5 on a W2K workstation?
