I would suggest you read the book that comes with the software, your
installation depends on what your configuration will be. Also Allaire
recommends that the Data Base be on a separate server. Believe it or not the
ColdFusion for Dummies book has some good step by step instructions and
screen shoots. If you are not clustering your server, do not install
ClusterCats, if you do it will cause problems.
Here is some information.
Manually Configuring ColdFusion Server to work with Microsoft IIS 4.0
Article 7671
When you install ColdFusion Server, it should detect and automatically
configure itself to work with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
3.0 and 4.0. The following steps detail the process of manually configuring
ColdFusion to work with IIS 4.0 and can be used for verification and
reconfiguration without having to reinstall ColdFusion.
Start the Microsoft Internet Service Manager (a.k.a. Microsoft
Management Console).
Right click on your Web site and choose "Properties".
Click the "Home Directory" tab.
Click the "Configuration" button.
The "App Mappings" tab should be on top. Click any existing entries
for .cfm and .dbm and remove all of them one by one (there is no multiple
delete option here).
Click the "Add" button.
The executable should be c:\cfusion\bin\iscf.dll (or wherever it's
installed), the extension is ".cfm" and the "Script engine" check box should
be checked.
Repeat step 7, this time substituting .dbm for .cfm for the
extension. Note: this step is purely for backwards compatibility with the
previous ColdFusion extension naming nomenclature (.dbm instead of .cfm). It
is recommended that you simply rename any templates with a .dbm extension to
.cfm and omit this step.
Once this is done, you should have two brand new file extension
mappings - one for .cfm and one for .dbm - both pointing at
c:\cfusion\bin\iscf.dll. Keep clicking OK until all the changes are saved.
Run the Test Your ColdFusion Installation Query on the Welcome To
ColdFusion page (Start > Programs > ColdFusion 4.0 > Welcome To ColdFusion).
Check the 'Application Settings' for your virtual Web Server or Virtual
Directory
Start the Microsoft Internet Service Manager (a.k.a. Microsoft
Management Console).
Right click on your Web site and choose "Properties".
Click the "Home Directory" tab.
If you have 'Run is seperate memory space' checked under
'Application Settings', uncheck this option.
Error messages/conditions caused by incorrect CF/IIS 4.0 configuration
In pre-Windows NT SP4 versions of IIS, file extension mappings for
ColdFusion (.cfm and .dbm) would be registered within the IIS metabase
multiple times due to a bug in pre-SP4 versions of IIS in the way it reads
information from the Windows Registry. This can cause:
* Error 405 - Method Not Allowed when trying to browse ColdFusion
files.
* Error 500 - Inernal Server Error when trying to browse ColdFusion
files.
* HTTP 1.1/500 Server Error when trying to browse ColdFusion files.
* The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file when
trying to browse ColdFusion files.
* The specified module could not be found error when trying to browse
ColdFusion files.
* Server Application Error when trying to browse ColdFusion files.
* Performance problems within IIS.
Allaire has modified the ColdFusion installation engine to write these
entries directly to the IIS 4.0 metabase (in lieu of the Windows Registry)
and, in addition, Microsoft has changed the logic of how it reads the
information from the Windows Registry starting with NT SP4 so the problem no
longer occurs.
