Well I kind of abandoned the idea and today actually I installed CF 10 in the new Win 7 Pro Virtual Machine (vmware) I've set up. I added a new site in IIS and have configured that to work with CF and created an ODBC via CF admin for the site (it works). The problem I'm now running into is that sites in IIS don't seem to work correctly unless it's all in the default site and in the default wwwroot folder. The new IIS site I set up does work when I pull up the homepage. However, if I browse to any page located in a subfolder, I get a 404 error even though the page does exist and the in the 404 error it shows the physical path to the wwwroot folder even though the site was set up in IIS to point to c:\websites\mysite\ ... I've tried everything known to man and have been googling all day about it and still nothing. I'm totally stuck and frustrated. Now I'm thinking about going back to the idea of putting CF on the mac side but I'm confused if I should install a web server on the mac side or use the built in webserver in CF and I would really like to understand why I can't get sites on the IIS side to work unless they're in the default site and wwwroot folder.
If anyone has any insight to that it would be most appreciated.
