Hola a todos, bueno yo tengo un problema con CF MX7 y apache 2.2, intale apache y corria perfectamente pero al instalar CF no se puede iniciar el servicio, por x razon el apache lo necesito en un puerto diferente al 80 (le puse el 5000). Los servicios de CF si me aparecen iniciados pero el de apache no. ¿Alguna idea?

Thank you so much! you got me up and running!

@Isabelle,

Can you download CF 9.0.1 installation? It doesn't require any IIS6 metabase and management features. Follow instructions here: http://www.codecurry.com/2010/07/installing-coldfusion-901-update.html

i've been trying to install CF9 64bit in a Windows Server 2008 64bits running plesk. I followed your instructions but still have, when trying to get to the admin page: "HTTP Error 404.17 The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler" with call to "Requested URL http://127.0.0.1:80/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Physical Path D:\inetpub\vhosts\default\htdocs\CFIDE\administrator\index.cfm
"
Any idea?
thanks a lot

Daniel, thanks for your inputs. You seem to have spent quite some time tinkering with the installation process.

FYI, here is an alternative configuration for CF7 on IIS 7.5 - Windows 2008 R2 (It will most likely work on other CF and IIS combinations). It's a bit more complicated, but I recommend it for production servers as it has some security and performance advantages.

1) Skip (Remove) Wildcard Script Map setup in Handler Mappings.

2) When adding Script Maps for *.cfm, *.cfc, etc use jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll (jrun_iis6.dll won't work). For each Script Map in Request Restrictions check "File" under "Invoke handler only if request is mapped to".

The advantage of such setup is that IIS handles all your 404 errors including for *.cfm and other CF mapped file extensions. You can have per site 404 custom pages instead of having to rely on server-wide CF "Missing Template" page for all .cfm 404s. Second, your /CFIDE/Administrator will not be accessible through any of your sites (unless you add a Virtual directory through IIS). Third, I was not able to find out if there is a performance penalty associated with having Wildcard Script Map for CF connector but it is a well known fact that there is a performance penalty when using ASP.NET Wildcard Script Map. At any rate, with my setup CFusion does not process/handle any static files (.htm, jpg, gif, etc).

If you are using CFCHART, Flash Remoting, and some other servlets (see servlet-mappings in cfwwwroot/WEB-INF/web.xml) you will need to optionally add these on per site basis:

3) CFCHART invokes GraphServlet servlet which is mapped to /CFIDE/GraphData.cfm. The solution is simple: In root of your site create CFIDE folder and in it create empty GraphData.cfm file. While you are at it, create a virtual directory "scripts" in your newly created CFIDE folder and point it to "real" /CFIDE/scripts folder. This will assure that various .js, .swf scripts used in CFFORM are available. (Not sure if you need any other mappings for CFGRID, CFTREE, CFSLIDER, etc)

4) Flash Remoting (FlashGateway servlet) invokes /flashservices/gateway. Solution: In your site root create empty flashservices folder. In IIS Handler Mappings for that folder edit your CFC (or any other CF) mapping and change path from "*.cfc" to "gateway", also uncheck map to File in Request Restrictions. Flash remoting now works.

Nice write up... You seem to have one typo. JRunProxyService should be activated, so "deactivated" should be set to "false" not "true" as you have it. (I've tried setting it to true and I get http 503 error: Could not connect to JRun Server).

Another thing... I have a CF7 running on IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2, which only comes in 64bit flavor) It might be worth mentioning that in any flavor of 64bit Windows, the AppPool that CF7 runs in must be set to "Enable 32-bit Applications". Not sure about CF8, but I suspect that's also has a 32bit dll.

Sameer,

Thanks so much for you post! Followed it carefully and was able to get my Coldfusion 6.1 running on our Windows 2008 Server 64bit. Awsome! Thanks again.

Thanks for your post.

But CF8 port number makes me confused, sometimes you mentioned it is 51011 (port number for ColdFusion 9 is 51800, for ColdFusion 7 and 8 port number is 51011)

or 51800 (For ColdFusion 8 and ColdFusion 9
proxyservers=127.0.0.1:51800 )

I think is 51800, correct?

Regards.
