I don't know what happened to your machine, Steve, but all of a sudden I can't view any of my sites using http://localhost, nor can I view them with a URL directly to my sites folders using my static IP on other PC's. I'm getting "Permission Denied", also.
I've been tinkering with MYSQL settings and permissions in response to recent warnings about attacks on servers running on the root account, which mine have been, but I don't see what that has to do with the situation. Perhaps I changed my computer login account in some way I'm unaware of. I'm getting ready to reinstall Windows 2000 Server again to see if that clears things up. My clients can't see their sites in development before they go live, so this is a problem... Ideas, anyone? All the sites are running fine when accessed by domain name... Rick -----Original Message----- From: Steve Logan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 11:02 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: consultant wanted After 11 hours on the phone with Microsoft today, I'm giving up and reformatting one of my Windows servers tomorrow. Right now I have 4 CF5 servers running fine, but this W2K CFMX SQL server bugged out on us today and I'm at wits end with it. Basically, IIS refuses connections - even to http://localhost from the machine itself. IE will show a DNS error - Mozilla says "connection refused". After about 10 hours with 2 Microsoft techs, we got it so that it just seemd the anonymous account was busted - I could view CFM pages locally and remotely after entering a valid login when prompted. Take the 5 minute drive home figuring something just trashed permissions and I needed to look at my perms on the CF directory - and I'm back to where I started this morning. Can't even view a simple HTM document on the server. So, what we're looking for is an experienced IIS/W2K/CFMX/SQL2000 consultant / person who can put in a few remote hours going over the configuration / setup / security etc. once we get the OS reinstalled tomorrow. If anyone is interested, contact me off list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your experience, hourly rate and a couple references.
