What account did you end up running CFMX under? If you run it under the local system account it's easier to set up, but not as secure. When you do run it under the local sys account, it's not actually a "user account" that you can select from the User Manager, its an option when you configure the service.
1. Open the services window (via computer management) 2. Right click on the CFMX Service(s) and select properties. Then look at the log on tab. BY default this is the local system account. You can change it if you want. 3. If your IIS website is set to allow anonymous access, and you have not specifically configured the anonymous account, then the account IIS will use is named Iusr_<yourmachinename>. a) Check the permissions on the CFusionMX/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrun.dll file. It should have Read and Read & execute for the Iusr_<machinename> account. b) Then check your website or web root, and ensure that this folder and files also have the read/read & execute permissions. You will also want to click the advanced button and then force the propagation of the permission settings to the sub directories and files. Also, if you have any external dependencies outside the webroot, you may need to assign permissions on those objects aswell. Let me know how it goes - I've been there....
