Question

Administrator not available

I am installing CF9 for a customer with Win2k8 Server, IIS7 and CF9 Standard Edition 64bit, and am using the Adobe Coldfusion Lockdown guide to install. After following the appropriate tasks, I went to run the Administrator and am receiving a coldfusion 'File not found: /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm' error.

There are no errors recorded in the installation logfile for CF but the administrator has been installed into a non standard volume and directory as advised by the lockdown guide. Has anyone come across this issue before. I suspect that /CFIDE/ isnt mapped correctly in the config, but editing the neo-runtime file has not helped (which had no CFIDE entry in it anyway).

At my wits end...

    When you installed CF, did you choose the built-in web server or did you choose IIS integration? If you chose IIS integration, you need to create a virtual mapping in IIS to allow access to the CF Administrator. No editing of CF files is required to make this work.

    Chose IIS integration. In the lockdown guide, a virtual mapping isn't required because you point your admin site directly at the path you will install the admin files into (eg f:\websites\cfadmin\wwwroot). However I think now that I must have made a security settings mistake because when I turned on anon. access to the site and turned off ssl it works fine. Working through this now. Thanks for the response and will update with my findings.
