I agree with you man. I nearly considered jumping ship since, hey I cant even develop using their applications. I spent a good price, you think that they could at least answer a few questions. .. I mean I am a growing web design business that will probably spend 5 grand on software in the next year. Where is that money going to go? From here, linux seems to be the only solid web development platform you can count on that doesn't pull the rug out from underneath you.

And check this, I have been "f" ed up by this problem since FEBRAURY. 2 threads.. try 30 or more. about 5 different forums. .. no one seems to have an answer for me. Not like I am not trying myself. Somehow I have hobbled forward. Boy would it be nice to just code the way "it should work"

Maybe next time MM, MAYBE NOT.

  Steve,

  there is no cable. As I said it's a stand alone development machine, not
  connected to any network.
  I use 127.0.0.1 (localhost) in IIS to see default web site and 127.0.0.1:XX
  (XX=81,82, etc) to see the other sites (projects).

  I have spent ONE MONTH installing, uninstalling and re-installing CFMX in
  this machine,
  I have started 2 threads in CF Forums giving detailed info on the problem,
  I have searched everything in MM site (livedocs, technotes etc) and there is
  nothing about it.
  and the only response in forums I had from MM side was:

  - "MM technotes are the best in the market" .....
  - "Ask for fee support"....

  which means on a 700$ notebook to pay 500$ for installation support on CF
  developer edition (single IP).....

  Many CFers have reported in Forums that CFMX has problems with Win 2000 SP3
  and SP4
  but as I see there is not official answear from MM team.

  Any other ideas ????

    Make sure you have your nic cable plugged in when you do the install.

      Hardware : Notebook as developer machine, plenty of CPU and RAM. The
  machine
      is standalone not connected to any network.
      Software : Win 2000 Server SP4, IIS 5.0

      Whenever I try to install CF (MX, or 6.1) at the end of the installation
  I
      get the mesage

      -------------------------------------------------------
      You have successfully completed the first step in installing Macromedia
      Coldfusion MX.
      However, the web server connectors did not install successfully and the
  web
      server and/or
      website could not be reached on port 80. Possible reasons include a
  blocked
      port 51020, or the web server and/or website is not running or is not
      configured to listen on port 80 (in which case this is not an error).

      Please complete the following steps to complete the installation:
      1) Consult the Installation Guide on how to manually configure the web
      server connector,
      2) Ensure any firewall software blocking port 51020 is disabled,
      3) Ensure the Coldfusion service is started,
      4) Manually configure your web server connectors,
      5) Confirm your web server and web sites are started, and
      6) Continue your installation by logging in to the Configuration Wizard
  at
      htt://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
      -------------------------------------------------------

      Before the installation,
      ***************************
      With netstat I checked that the needed ports are not blocked by
  something.
      All are free.

      All resident software (firewall, antivirus, etc) were disabled.

      IIS was installed and reinstalled many times with default settings (no
      restrictions in security.properties etc)

      During installation
      *************************
      I asked to use IIS (only default web site)

      In all my efforts I asked installation using all available choices, eg
  J2EE,
      standalone server etc, but the above error mesage is always the same.

      After the installation
      **************************
      Coldfusion Service is running

      IIS is running (serving only html and asp pages. no cfm pages)

      Macromedia_ColdFusion_MX_InstallLog.log   reports that everything was
      Successfull.

      In IIS mappings no cfm, cfc etc. mappings exist.

      Calling CF administrator page gives a 500 error (obvious because of not
      existing mappings).

      I try to use IIS_connector.bat to fix the IIS connector and I get a new
      error message
      ------------------------------
      Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost.
      Possible causes:
      Server not running
        - Start Macromedia JRun4 or ColdFusion MX server
      Server running
        - JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or
      firewall on server
        - host restriction in security.properties blocking communication with
      server
      ----------------------------

      Nothing of these causes exist in my machine. As I said
      - CF service is running
      - No TCP/IP filtering, or firewall exist.
      - No restrictions in security.properties exist in IIS.

      Something more, maybe important
      *******************************************
      1. When I install CF with the built-in web server (no IIS) everything is
  ok
      (no errors).

      2. I have a second development machine, a desktop one. When I install CF
  (MX
      or 6.1) in this machine I get the 1st error at the end of the
  installation,
      but then running IIS_connector.bat I connect to IIS with no problem at
  all.
      My desktop development machine is identical to my notebook (same
  software
      being installed, same settings on everything, same running services etc)
      The only difference they have is that the desktop has Win 2000 Server
  SP2
      ... while notebook has Win 2000 Server SP4.

      I have tried everything. I have even uninstalled IIS and re-installed it
      again with default settings, and then re-installed CF. The errors are
  always
      there.
      I tried install CF 5.0 (this installation has no problem) and then
  upgrade
      to MX (the errors are again there).

      In the past, I had tried to install CF MX (no 6.1) in a Win 2000 SP3...
  and
      I was getting error messages again.
      In Coldfusion forums there are many threads about installation problems
  on
      SP3 and SP4.

      Any ideas ???????????   (before format my notebook....)

      Thanks in advance for your help to all of you.

      Tassos
