Getting the jist of what Taz has replied it sounds like you're having issues with IIS and CFMX.
It is known that if you install CFMX you should install it under standalone mode as there is a problem with setting up the connector with IIS. Basically, after installing under standalone mode, to connect to IIS you run the IIS connector batch file which can be found in d:\cfusionmx\bin\connectors. Then it should all work fine and dandy. Also, after doing that you can turn off the internal webserver by changing a setting in an XML document. If you want to do that let me know and i'll get the path for the XML doc. However, any changes you make to the internal webserver you have to reboot the machine, as recycling the CFMX services doesn't recycle the JRUN service which runs the internal webserver. A bit of pain really, but easily catches people out! Hope that helps.
