Admin page won't open

I've installed ColdFusion MX7 Standard on my Windows 2003 server which is running IIS 6.0.
When I try to go to http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm it prompts for the login. The server is a domain controller so I use the administrator account. It thinks about and comes back and asks for the login again.
If I setup IIS to allow anonymous login it tells me that the account does not have permissions to access the file even though I gave the IIS_Server account full rights to \CFIDE directory.
Any ideas? Is there another directory I need to setup rights for? Also, I have JAVA 1.06 installed so I'm not sure what impact that has either.

I should have mentioned that I'm running Windows 2003 Standard 64-bit. I've installed JVE 1.4.2.10 and the following command to allow 32-bit apps to run under IIS 6.0:
Open a command prompt and navigate to the %systemdrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts directory.
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 “true”

Any other ideas?


Solved it myself.

1.) Used Ben Forta's suggestion for IIS 6:

2.) Installed from server and NOT terminal services

yes we run hundreds of JRUN4 + CFMX6 multiserver config'd machines, and I have configured them successfully and setup all the applications on them for years. That is the only qualifications i can give you.

cwhitmore = we cannot just do a CFMX7 install, all require JRUn4 to be installed with it. I have never had any problems before.

This is a lab machine running in a VMware console used by our Wintel team to do certifications of new apps. I have asked one of those guys to take the physical media to the drive of the server whic hosts the vmware machine and we will try to do a reinstall that way. I never heard from Adobe this was necessary? Who said you cannot install it remotely? Just wondering. Anyway I will see hopefully the re-intsall from the local server itself will do the trick. As far as i can see this should be working without that step, however, we were always able to intsall JRUN and CFMX6 on webserver remotely, configure remotely, setup the sites remotely, and they all work as we speak., Just not CFMX7 :\

Sorry about the confusion. I got JRUN mixed up with Java RunTime. I noticed on my server I had two different versions of Java installed so I uninstalled both, rebooted and then installed CF.
No one told me that you can't install it remotely, but I thought I would try it after having other applications that do require an install from the server. Worked for me!
Let us know if installing from the server fixes the problem.

Please restore all your default IIS settings that you had after installing CF 7. Then try http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm. It will ask fro the password. Now give the CF Admin password that you have provided while installing CF 7.

If still you face any problem the there is one way to change your password.

Find the neo-security.xml file (it will be in the lib directory beneath the ColdFusion root). Look for the tag <var name='admin.security.enabled'><boolean value='true'/></var>, change the 'true' to 'false', save the file, and then restart ColdFusion. You will then be able to log into the ColdFusion Administrator without a password. Now you can set a new password and then turn on password use again.

Thanks

When you installed CF MX7 you set a password, you use this, not the domain administrator password to login, (unless you set them the same, which it would seem you didn't).

Hope this helps.

I can't get to the CF login screen.
