Is it possible to go back after the fact and harden a server into a production machine? Or do we need to start from scratch.
We have a Windows 2008 32 bit server (clean install/patches applied) installed with CF9 out of the box in the C:\Inetpub default directory. We need to quickly move the machine into a production environment. We already have the domain name pointed to that machine and accessible through a URL and we have purchased a security certificate for the URL. I would be happy to send the site address via individual email. Unfortunately, no one in our organization is very familiar with 2008, and our network administrator skills are limited. We came across http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/91025512_cf9_lockdownguide_wp_ue.pdf and tried to follow these instructions -- but kept hitting errors and roadblocks. So most of these steps were not done. I have created a new site location on a different drive and added it in the ETC hosts file (127.0.0.1) for the primary application - but do not know what is needed next. Any tips, tricks dumbed down to a non-network adminstrator would be greatfully appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345957 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
