Paul, I have installed CFMX 6.1 and 7 countless times. Sometimes the IIS configuration just doesn't work with the install program.
This seems to happen when the Microsoft Techies have hardened the machine in some way. The only solution in these cases is a manual install which takes a couple of hours!! The instructions are on the macromedia site. One thing that is well hidden in the instructions is the "make it not work switch" which is on by deafult and has to be turned off. Look for the line <attribute name="deactivated">true</attribute> and change it to <attribute name="deactivated">false</attribute> in jrun.xml See Tech Notes 19575, 18724. (sorry can't post links as my favs all screwed since the move to adobe last week) Kevin ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Paul Ihrig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Sat, 13 May 2006 13:32:31 -0400 >sure. >let me know if you need more > >tried to instal Coldfusion MX 7 Developer Edition, from wack 7 book & disk 2 >of mx studio 7. >also tried to instal cf 6.1 mx.. >no luck. > >i have unblocked ports, 51010, 51011, 51020, 80, 8080, 8500 >but it dosnt seem to add cfm, cfc, cfml et to iis. >so i am going to try it with IIS 6 instead of standard IIS 5.1 that comes >with xp... > >my default root is E:\Inetpub\wwwroot instead of C:\ > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:240484 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
