Because you did not read my post. For apache to run under Vista 64bit, the application pools need to be in 32bit mode enabled. Or did you miss that?
From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Owen West Sent: Monday, 14 April 2008 5:31 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Coldfusion 8U1 and Vista Andrew, I would certainly agree that in shrinkwrap code release you would simply expect an installer routine to figure this sort of thing out. Actually, as you mentioned, you'd expect to have problems with a beta release, not a rtm release! Kind of the opposite of what actually has happened... Although, for the life of me I cannot figure out why somebody would have a 32-bit IIS on a 64-bit Windows OS? How would one even end up this way? Is the IIS packaged with Windows 2003 x64 or IA64 only a 32-bit version? I could not imagine that being the case? I could understand Apache, esp if a non-tech user had downloaded the 32-bit version for their PC or laptop, but on a server this would (to me anyway) be something of a strange case... Nevertheless, Andrew you are absolutely right - we would expect this sort of thing to "just work". It should auto-detect the proper connector to use, or at least throw a warning on screen AND in a log file indicating the situation, not just fail silently.

If like me you had forgotten that IIS was also in 32bit, then why does the installer not pick this up? Like I said first post, there is no error what so ever until you try to run a cfm template. And to then run the CF Connector generates all kinds of errors, and unless you know that you have to run it as administrator can be a gotcha as well. At the end of the day, I came across this by accident. Not even browsing the beta forums was of any help on this. And to make it worse Beta versions worked fine. Like I stated. I think more checking in the installer needs to be done, so users don't get caught out on this like I did. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

Then again, maybe this is just Vista being Vista?

If anyone is interested this seems to be a bug in the installer. I have Apache running on this machine and the only way to have it run was to have the pools run in 32bit mode. So the support of 32 bit was enabled. The installer seems to not know this and adjust accordingly, maybe right maybe not. So when I switched the connectors to use 32 bit for coldfusion bingo, the cfm sites worked again. The moment I switched these pools to not enabled 32 bit the sites no longer worked. Until I switched the 32 bit upport for coldfusion connectors off. Oh well 4 hours of frustration and installing, but why the hell it seems to want to work this way in the release version was beyond me. Problem solved, so if anyone else runs into this you'll have another KB for you tools of how to for Vista 64bit and Coldfusion 8J From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Barnes Sent: Saturday, 12 April 2008 12:15 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 8U1 and Vista Well this maybe a "after the fact" tip, but in future i'd recommend you install beta products on virtual machines. In the event an RTM/RTW occurs you can swap out your code base on a fresh install. Thus removing the headache your in now ;) On Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 12:10 PM, CyberAngel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: No it shouldn't but it does for some unknown reason...

Did you miss the point of me saying that I had the Beta installed and working fine? And did you miss that I downloaded nte new 64bit release? And I thought you we had been on a role and you go and do that to meJ For everyone else's info, I can install the beta 64bit Coldfusion release fine and it runs.
