I meant I have installed CF about 10 times before in previous versions, at different clients. This is the first time I've installed CFMX.
I have installed this copy and uninstalled it a dozen times now. I have had two people doing a remote desktop on my system and neither of them can see why I have jrun installed and running but nothing can attach to it. No one can explain why I can set up CFMX to run on its own server, but not connect to IIs, and I can't create a new virtual directory in the internal web server for IIs. I'm all ears if anyone can come up with a new answer. I have installed, removed reinstalled, rebooted, regedited and removed all registry entries till I'm blue in the face. And not only that, Chris Kief lookd my system over too and he is stumped. It's now 3.17am Monday, and I started doing this job on Friday night at 9pm. I haven't been working continuously on it, but a substantial part of the intervening period has been spent on trying to make this thing go. So yes, I'm annoyed. And I'm not sorry for that either. But I'm not annoyed at the people on this list. Just at this CFMX that wont do what it should do and I can't find out why.

In which case i have found the best and quickest answer was to uninstall IIS and reinstall and its fine. if its that big a deal then just reinstall windows & I bet it will be fine. I reinstall windows every few months just too keep my machine fresh and its not that big a deal to do. :) dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Kear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 10:53 AM Subject: RE: CFMX Stand alone web server problem now > Well Todd, after all this time, and losing a weekend, I'm more than a > little annoyed at ColdFusion.
