Cannot access ColdFusion 9 Admin after domain admin password change

Hi,

We have a CF 9 multiserver setup that's been running quite nicely for the past year. Recently, a domain admin password changed cocked up our IIS, which we got working by changing the admin passwords for each app pool within IIS 7.

Since then, though, I can't access the main CF Admin page, which gives a 404. I can access the admin pages for the multiple sites by visiting the internal IP of the server and specifying a port (192.168.xxx.xxx:8301, 192.168.xxx.xxx:8302, etc), but if I try and do this for the main CF Admin site (port 8300) again, I get a 404.

The guy who set our server up is long gone, and although I know enough about CF to keep things running, this has got me stumped.

I'm convinced the problem lies with IIS, but I was wondering if anyone here has any experience of such a problem?

    Hi Simunt,

    Can you make sure that the CFIDE folder is available at \JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war ?

    How weird, the CFIDE folder was gone from this location. I've restored it from a back-up and all seems to be working properly now... thanks so much for the speedy response, Anit.

    Time to investigate what happened, I think!
