Question

CF Setup, need handler, Web Server Configuration, wait 2-5 minutes?

I just installed CF9 dev version on Windows 7

error is that this page:http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

shows this:

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

How do I do that (add a handler), and is this normally necessary?

I thought running Programs -> Adobe -> CF9 -> Web Server Configation would help

But it just says: "Enabling IIS7 optional packages.... it will take 2 to 5 minutes..."

And nothing appears to change after that time.


I'm going through these steps now, but LMK if there is something else that might be wrong.

    Did you install the IIS 6 compatibility layer in IIS before running the web server configuration tool?

    Alternatively, did you upgrade CF to 9.0.1 before running the web server configuration tool?

    You have to do one or the other. CF 9.0.0 doesn't support IIS 7 in its default configuration.
