I am trying to install ColdFusion 7 on Windows 2008 64bit. I have set the Default App Pool to 32 bit applications and run the CF Connector again but it keeps saying that id does not support IIS 7.5.

It appears above that some people have gotten it to work. What tricks do I need to know?

After installing CF on my laptop with no errors, I was concerned when I ran accross this error when I got to the point where I had to open CF Administrator. Luckily, yours was the first page returned in my search for an answer. Thank you. You did a good job. I was able to easily follow your instructions, and got running in no time. Again, thanks.

Hi,
Is it a must to put your coldfusion codes in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfdocs?
As I am thinking of putting the coldfusion code on another location like d:\mywebsite\ and uses the inetmgr for II7 to map the virtual site to d:\mywebsite\
Thanks.

@Anonymous:

CFMX 7 is not available for 64-bit machines. In all probability your Win 2008 is running 64 bit. So you should configure IIS to run 32 bit applications.

Please download and use the CF 9.0.1 installer. Follow the steps at: http://www.codecurry.com/2010/07/installing-coldfusion-901-update.html

2011-04-28T05:48:41.190+05:30

Hi, Sameer,

I have a static html site and 3 cf sites. I upgraded CF to v9. I followed your instructions on removing ISAPI Extensions and IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility.

But after that not only the static html site didn't work, but also the cf sites became inaccessible. They are all down. Do you have any idea? Any pointer is appreciated.

Any help please???

As an update to those finding this great resource,...

2011-03-29T21:25:51.206+05:30

As an update to those finding this great resource, please do note that as of CF 9.0.1 (CF 9 Updater 1) you no longer need to enable IIS 6 compatibility. Indeed, 9.0.1 is the first release that formally supports IIS 7, without need of all the monkey business above. :-)

Sameer did go on to right about it in a couple of entries, when it came out months after this one here, so check them out starting at:
http://www.codecurry.com/2010/07/coldfusion-901-update-now-available.html

Note that those who may download CF 9 even after that update comes out will STILL have to apply the update separately. Adobe did NOT recreate the CF 9 installer to incorporate this updater.

So if you're having trouble with IIS on CF 9, please first just try installing the updater. If you did also do some of this stuff above, and then you install the updater, you may want to (or need to) remove some of the IIS 6 compatibility that you enabled. Sameer discusses that in yet another blog entry, linked from the comments of the one I offered above.

Hope that's helpful.

If you have not heard it enough before, THANK YOU ...

If you have not heard it enough before, THANK YOU for posting these instructions. Clear, concise, and correct! There were a couple of things that were different in Step 6 on my system: I did not have a cfdocs directory, and I did not find a cf_root directory either. But the CF pages seem to be serving correctly, so I am a happy camper. Thanks again.

All I have to say is, 'Thank you!'

THANK YOU for your clear instructions. Been trying to figure this out and other sites were just more confusing. I've used CF6/7 with IIS6 and now have been given CF 9 with IIS 7 on Sever 2008 with short turn-around deadline and it was making me crazy. THANKS AGAIN!!!

Thanks Sameer, this has been very helpful indeed. Guys, ensure you run the web server configuration as an administrator, you may encounter permission issues as a result of not doing so. Daniel Godinez

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! I had gone through a dozen websites both ASP and ColdFusion related trying to get this issue resolved but only yours had the steps which included adding the configuration through the Web Server Configuration Tool. I took it for granted thinking that this was already configured since I had added IIS as a web server during the CF9 installation process.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the post! Worked like charm :)
