CF Admin page 404 - CF8 / Windows Server 2008 new install

Newi nstallation of CF8 on Windows Server 2008 (fully patched). IIS role is already installed; can display htm pages. CF8 installation was mostly default, except for base folder for site is d:\websites (changed that during CF8 install).

The admin page is in the CF8 folder, CFAdmin page http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm will not load; gives a 404 error. Added port 8500 to link, still 404.

Have uninstalled CF8 then removed IIS role, restarted, IIS role added, then CF8 installed again with default settings except for base folder. CFIDE folder in that base folder. Logged in as local administrator during installation.

CF services (all three) are running. Event log shows CF8 application server running,

And I am puzzled why the CF Administrator won't display.

    With Windows Server 2008, you have to make sure to add the "IIS 6 Management Compatiblity" components (except the IIS 6 Management Console) when you add the IIS role. Without them, the CF installer does not properly add the required Handler Mappings for ColdFusion extensions (.cfm, etc....).

    because you changed the base folder, the cfide folder needs to be where the default website is set to in iis. if your using the default website in iis, simply change the folder location of it and it should bring up the coldfusion admin page once accessed.
