[flexcoders] Re: Any Adobe folks on here?
With the help of an Adobe person who e-mailed me privately, we have figured out what is wrong... Apparently 64-bit ColdFusion 8 is only available for the Enterprise Edition. My key only covers the Standard Edition. So at least we know why the key wasn't working. Why the customer-service and/or tech-support people couldn't tell me that is just beyond me... Would've save a LOT of time if they'd just known that fact from the beginning. Anyway -- now my problem is this: How do I install 32-bit CF8 on a 64-bit IIS without killing CertSrv? Heck, I guess I should join a CF group, eh? LOL I think I'll do that right now. But if there are any folks in the Flex group here who've dealt with this problem, please feel free to e-mail me.

Anyway -- long story short -- I need to install the 64-bit version of CF8. But my license key won't work with it. It only works with the 32-bit version of CF8. I can go all the way through the install process on the 32-bit version of CF8. But on the 64-bit version, it chokes when I enter the key. The very same key that WORKS in the 32-bit version. So all I need is a key that will work with the 64-bit version of CF8. I've been on the phone and on the live-chat with Adobe tech-support for HOURS!!! And they just don't get it!! I just need a damn key that will work. I've given them my existing key, and they tell me that it is a valid key. So why won't it work with the 64-bit version of CF8?!!! It's a simple request -- give me a key that will work with CF8 64-bit! Damn!
[flexcoders] Re: Any Adobe folks on here?
Well, I figured this one out, too... Apparently it's not possible to install 32-bit *anything* on 64-bit IIS, unless you put IIS into 32-bit mode by running the following script: C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/enable32BitAppOnWin64 true And it's that script that kills CertSrv on 64-bit IIS. This flag must be set to false in order for CertSrv to work on IIS. So to solve the problem, I talked my boss into buying 64-bit ColdFusion 9 Standard Edition Upgrade. Hell of a solution, eh? LOL Anyway -- thanks to the guy from Adobe who e-mailed me off-list (and especially thanks to the group-member here who forwarded my e-mail to him!!) Without your help, I'd never have figured this out. (I'm not naming names, in case they want their identities kept private -- but I know who you are, and you have my gratitude.)

I think you may be able to just set up a single application pool to 32 bit, but I am not sure if CertSrv can run in one application pool while CF8 runs in another.

[flexcoders] Re: Any Adobe folks on here?
That is exactly correct. You can have either a 64-bit app pool or a 32-bit app pool running on any given site. But not both at the same time on the same site. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Amy amyblankens...@... wrote: I think you may be able to just set up a single application pool to 32 bit, but I am not sure if CertSrv can run in one application pool while CF8 runs in another.
