One
possible cause where I have seen this occurs when the
ColdFusion server is installed AFTER you configured your site in IIS.
The
problem occurs because of the following:
1) IIS
has some default site settings. Every time you configure a new site or
virtual directory in IIS it uses these defaults.
2)
After you have created a new site you can alter that sites individual
settings without affecting the defaults or existing sites.
3) If
you change the default settings it does not change sites that were previously
created.
4)
When you install the ColdFusion server the install process updates some of the
default settings. The settings are for mapping different extensions to the
application that handles them. In this case it is mapping .cfm files to
the CF server.
5) The
install process only updates the default settings NOT EXISTING SITES. If
you need to update an existing site you would have to manually configure the
mappings (or delete and recreate the site).
To
check if CF has been properly mapped you can go to the IIS admin. Check
the properties for the site. There should be a tab called "Home
Directory". On that tab there is a button "Configuration". When you
open that you will see a list of application mappings. There should be an
entry in the list for extension = ".cfm" and executable path =
"C:\CFUSION\bin\iscf.dll" (or similar). If not then this is your
problem. If you need to manually add the mappings just copy the mappings
for the default site.
Hope
this helps.

Subject: [CFTALKTor] ColdFusion 5 single user serverWe have installed the ColdFusion 5 single user server on a laptop with IIS on it. We have gone into the ColdFusion Administrator and set up and verified two data sources. However, when we try to run apps, only the html and JavaScript run. No ColdFusion code is processed. We know the apps work because we use them on our main server every day. Any ideas on what may be wrong or where we can get help?
