Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Server Administration / April 2009Can't get coldfusion to work on Vista Ultimate
Need help, tried other stuff on other postings trying to edit jrundll file that doesn't seem to exist I'll look at so many places to try and get coldfusion 7 or 8 to work with IIS or Apache on Windows Vista Ultimate which came pre-loaded with the new laptop. It just gives me a 404 error complaining about the MIME types. I saw one forum that I need to edit the wcnfiguration.config files (some name similar to that) in the system 32 interdel folder, but I get an access denied error when trying to edit in notepad....even though I am logged in as the administrator. The index page for coldfusion works afte the install as well as IIS 7.0 is working fine, but when trying to execute a .cfm fikle it just gives that 404 error and doesn't seem to recognise the .cfm file. I tried adding the CFM in MIME types in IIS admin and selected coldfusion/application but it didn't work. I then changed the CFM descrip to text/html (something like that) and it then launched the cfm file and showed the html part of it, but didn't process the coldfusion. It may be a simple MIME configuiration problem in IIS, but I don't know what types should be there and what the type descriptions need to be. If anyone can help me with this, I really need the help to get this to work with Vista. If you have instructions, can you really spell it out for me please with as much step by step instructions as possible please, I want to be sure to do it right. Thank you so much for your help, I really need it! David David, ColdFusion 8 should work with Vista on IIS 7without any tweaks.

It is giving a HTTP 404 error and looking for a mime type. Is there a glitch in install or a seeting that we are doing wrong. Did any one find out more about the issue. Thanks Try this workaround...I'm really surprised the installer didn't take care of this: UNDER IIS MANAGER Add extensions to IIS 7 Under 'Handler Mappings' select 'Add Module Mapping' on the right and create each of the following: *.cfc *.cfm *.cfml *.cfr They are all marked as "Enabled" (State), "Unspecified" (Path Type), "IsapiModule" (Handler), "Local" (Entry Type) They all point to: C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll Name them something like: ColdFusionCFC ColdFusionCFM ColdFusionCFML ColdFusionCFR Also, add the following extensions to 'Default Documents' under IIS: index.cfml index.cfm home.cfml home.cfml etc... Peter PDRMultimedia: thanks for the tips. I was having the same problem and could see that the handlers weren't configured as soon as the install finished. I couldn't even bring up the Cold Fusion Administrator because IIS didn't know where to find any ISAPI module for the ColdFusion file types. So your instructions mades sense. Like you, I was a little surprised that the Installer didn't make those handler entries automatically. I had installed two or three other versions of ColdFusion on different boxes from time-to-time and had never run into these issues. Since Adobe doesn't document anything like this, it gets pretty difficult when it doesn't just work as advertised. The Web Server Configuration Tool seems like it's supposed to deal with that but the version for Cold Fusion 8 was pretty much useless, at least in my case. Adobe/Macromedia/ColdFusion doesn't seem especially up to date with Vista, which seems pretty lame. It's not it just came out last week. And they haven't owned up to it in bug reports, at least not that I could find. Maybe there's some extra steps you have to take, like running the Web Server Configuration Tool (which is documented in prior versions) but nobody tells you. :disgust; getoverit (and others): I was finally able to get CF8 up and running on my Vista Home Pro machine after several hours of digging and scratching around. In the end, the successful process for me was basically: 1) follow the instructions at http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=224AA&print=true substituting port 51800 instead of 51011 in the 2 config files. 2) restart machine, for good measure NB: I found that running the CF Web Server Config tool just nuked the manual setup work I had done, so don't run it once you've followed the instructions from the article! Good luck! Mike |
