Hi, I've been trying to set up a web server using ColdFusion 8.0.1 and IIS. The machine it's installed on is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x86, set up as an application server only. It's a fresh install, nothing else done to it, IIS is as "out of the box" as it comes. Only changes are full Windows updates.
ColdFusion runs through it's install and the install log reports all files as successful with no warnings, non fatal errors or fatal errors. I am installing CF with all options except for LiveCycle Data Serives ES. HOWEVER - Once the install finishes and IE fires up to run the configuration wizard (http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm), I get a 'Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage' error. This happens no matter wether I use 127.0.0.1, localhost or the machine IP, or add port 8500 to the address. I do note the following is wrong - - Both ODBC services were not installed even though it was specified during the installation. - There is no cfdocs folder, again specified to be installed during the installation. - If I install CF by entering the serial numbers (it is an upgrade licence from MX 7 to 8), I am not prompted during the install to specify what kind of server configuration I would like. Id does propmpt me to choose if I select 30-day trial or Developer edition. This might be normal, I'm not sure. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ColdFusion more times than I'd like to remember, as well as removing & reconfiguring the server as an application server. I have run through the "Configuring the Web Server" troubleshooting guide in Adobe Online Help and verified all the items in there are installed correctly. All the extension mappings and IIS configs are correct from what I can see. There are no error messages in the system event logs. This occurs wether I install Coldfusion on the same drive as the inetpub folder or if the ColdFusion and inetpub are on different drive, etc. The other ColdFusion services are running normally, as is the Default Website and Default AppPool in IIS. I am able to browse the Default Website otherwise. Sorry about the lengthy 1st post, I'm just trying to be detailed :) Can someone help pls?
