RE: [ACFUG Discuss] cf administrator
I appreciate everyone's input and, as a first-time user of this list, I am satisfied that this could work for future incidents. We found the problem. It was an IIS issue stemming from redirects involving the default website and related DNS. The host value for the default website in the DNS records was a redirect to a site on the same server, therefore, the server couldn't find localhost or accept the header of 127.0.0.1. All pretty confusing but really a simple error and fix. Thanks again for your help, though.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] cf administrator
For IIS in the past, it is usually a file called iis.msc, which may have changed for IIS 6 and later. You usually can find your IIS manager from your Administrative tools that is available from your start menu or it can be located in your Control Panel menu. I agree with Dean about your web server not knowing how to serve CF pages. What happens in IIS, is a DLL file is associated to a .cfm or .cfml files. This DLL has the responsibility of calling and executing the CF engine to parse the .cfm page being requested. If IIS doesn't know what to do with a file extension, it will download it like it an executable or .zip file. Teddy On 3/15/07, Dean H.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] cf administrator
Well, the external website has its own web server. To server ColdFusion, the web server that is handling the requests for the external web site would need to have ColdFusion installed on it as well. On your local system, you would have a developer copy of ColdFusion typically, but on external websites you will either have the hosting provider having ColdFusion installed or the dedicated server having ColdFusion installed. Either way, you need a software piece to be able to interpret and parse ColdFusion pages. ColdFusion is not native to IIS or Apache. The developer edition is free, but for servers that have more than one connection connecting to it, then you will need to buy additional software.

To reiterate are you trying to access the cf admin tool via this url? http://www.superlawntrucks.com/CFIDE/administrator/ If that is the case then you probably need to remote desktop (term services) to the machine and load the admin tool off of the localhost (while logged in open IE on that machine and go to the url below): 127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/ CF Admin tool can block all IP's except localhost, and that is typically how it is setup for a publicly hosted site.
