just did this last week and had several problems (of my own stupidity most likely) that necessitated a couple UNINSTALLS and reinstalls.
1. If using IIS4 or 5, make sure your default(or what ever site) website is defined in IIS prior to installing CFMX (I had IIS installed, but had not defined the default site as yet. You can tell CFMX to connect later but the command line string in the printed documentation has an error in one of the switches (page 22 of chapter 2) the book says the -wd switch in the string, but an hour of frustration, another uninstall/reinstall and a visit to MM's website revealed the switch should have been -ws, not -wd. In any case I finally just uninstalled IIS and CFMX and reinstalled them clean, with the site defined in IIS and it worked just fine.... 2. check the MM site for errata, an obvious choice perhaps, but I waited until I was way too frustrated...could have saved myself the hassle. 3. Unless you have a really good reason not to, accept the CFMX default configurations. I monkeyed with them initially, and most likely contributed to my problems (not knowing what the ramifications of what I was doing). It is working now.... NICE product, and well worth the wait!
