I'm having trouble with this. Can someone please point me to a good tutorial? Or, might anyone know why I am getting "You are not authorized to view this page" errors? And, why my browser tries to simply download .cfm files instead of running them as a script should?
It could very well be that ColdFusion did NOT get installed. Check services and see if you see any ColdFusion services there (Macromedia ColdFusion...) Also it could be that - if installed (long shot) - that the services aren't started Also it could be that in IIS, the default document is not in the said folder. For instance you may have index.cfm in the root folder BUT index.cfm is not defined in IIS trace your steps, maybe you missed something - let us know
Can you please name all the services that I should check for in Windows Task Manager? Also, I'm typing in the url: localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and that's when the browser tries to download the file. If I just try to go to localhost/, then it asks me for a username and password which I'd rather not have to enter.
ColdFusion MX 7 Application Service ColdFusion MX 7 ODBC Agent ColdFusion MX 7 ODBC Server ColdFusion MX 7 Search Server
One more question I have is how would I manually add the mapping for .cfm files? What is the path to the dll file?
whoa!!! hang on there - all you need to do is log into IIS and make the change their for that site - if you're on a shared server check your control panel and see if you can set the default .cfm page - if not, you may have to resort to a redirect from the index.html to the index.cfm (which I don't recommend by the way)
We have a ColdFusion installation problem using new computers with the XP O/S and we CANNOT get the ColdFusion administrator to open when using IIS (Error message: page not found). The Firewall and Virus checker has been turned off before each of the software’s are installed and the computer is rebooted; A - the IIS system is installed and working and the computer is rebooted B the ColdFusion software is installed without any errors and the computer is rebooted After doing the above on different machines and not being able to open the ColdFusion administrator (page not found). I presume that there is a problem with IIS. One suggestion received is that we check the services to see if we have proper ODBC connections, which we compare with Windows 2000 and the XP O/S, this Monday. If you fixed your problem can you can you advise me what you have done as this may also help us.
By any chance do you have SharePoint installed on that same server? Does the ColdFusion installation complete? Does the Configure Server portion run - during/after installation? Are your mappings pointing to actual folders? These should be hints for you - check 'em out and see if you find your solution there - let us know how it goes...
Hello, I think the reason we are having a problem is that these modules are not being installed ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent ColdFusion MX ODBC Server How do I get the these modules to install At services the following is on the screen ColdFusion MX 7 Application Service ColdFusion MX 7 Search Server = The computer(s) have the Virus checker and Firewall turned off The previous software has been removed / rebooted / reinstalled = We have tried use the standard start of http://127.0.0.1 and http://local host, but the error message page not found keeps occurring on ALL the XP machines. By any chance do you have SharePoint installed on that same server? // > NO Does the ColdFusion installation complete? // > YES Does the Configure Server portion run - during/after installation? // > NO Are your mappings pointing to actual folders? // > YES Thanks
the common problem occurs at the end of the installation process when trying to browse - http:/local host or log into the coldfusion administrator. When coldfusion installs it creates a port scan for the JDNI. XP Service Pack 2 blocks the port scanning and the the installation goes to hell . CF is unable to attach itself to your webserver. All you have to do is: 1. open up a command prompt ( start> run> cmd.exe ) and type this line ( some paths may be different, so please put the appropriate ones ) 2. ( c:\coldfusionmx7\runtime\jre\bin\java - DWSConfig.PortScanStartPort=2920-DWSConfig.PortScanCount=1-jar C:\coldfusionmx7\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar This should make the scan on port 2920 only and then you'll have the chance to complete the installation manually.
Thanks shuttle (I didn't start this thread but I remembered what you said when I was doing another installation) good job!
Thank you for your suggestions, but we are using the default ColdFusion setup and it works for what we require.
The problem faced by websiteideas: Also, I'm typing in the url: localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and that's when the browser tries to download the file. ................... check the application extension mapping in your IIS 5.0 the .cfm should point to C:\CFusion\BIN\ISCF.DLL Hope this helps.
