In this case I have now tried : [ A ] Run the jrun web server configuration utility. ( the green thing ) to connect ColdFusion to IIS It hangs saying it can't find a folder. But doesn't tell me which folder it can't find and since there's no place to enter a folder location up to that point I have no way to find out.
[ B ] uninstall ColdFusion, thinking if I reinstall it, it might resolve that folder issue by itself. Nope. Still hangs at the point of configuring the web server. Obviously the same problem, but still no way to work out what the problem is [ C ] uninstall ColdFusion again and reinstall as single server rather than J2EE. Same result So unless I can get the web server configuration utility to work I think I'm screwed on this machine Cheers, Mike Kear On Sat, 8 Aug 2015 at 6:57 pm Mike K <afpwebwo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Oh yes.
