Not sure where to join this thread but here goes... I'd suggest getting the latest installer from Adobe. Make sure you get 32-bit version if that's what you're on. They have been rebuilt to update 7 so you only need, currently, to take update 8 after install.
My understanding of licencing is that only public facing/production servers need a unique serial number so you should be fine using the same key for staging/uat/testing/dev and even hot standby servers. I was always taught to install CF with the in-built web server initially and then use wsconfig once everything is proven to be working. Then connect to your web server of choice (Apache/IIS/etc). After all that, if you're still having issues, it might be worth sharing your install log. Others might be able to spot an issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355265 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
