CF10 Dev Ed on Win8/IIS8

After a couple of hours of errors and googling, I finally got the dev edition of CF10 to install.  The admin page at localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm is blank, as with every cfm/cfml page on my server.

Can anyone give me some advice to get this running? 

Thanks,

Mike

    The web server config tool is blank, and I can't add anything, warning box says supported versions are 4, 5, 6, and 7x.  V8 installed.  I have googled this warning message but still haven't found anything helpful.

    There are no handlers that I see for CF related file extensions. 

    thanks!


    Are you, by chance, using an old installer package?

    CF10 support for Win2012 and IIS8 was added around March of this year.  I wonder if you're using an older installer that isn't properly taking ths into account. 

    Try downloading CF10 Developer from Adobe (choose x86 or x64 as applicable) and see if using that installer works for you (If you have a license, you can pop it into the CF Admin after install and unlock it to Standard/Enterprise).

    Do you have a CFIDE and jakarta virtual directory setup in IIS under the same site?

    No I do not...just set up a virtual directory mapping to /coldfusion10/cfusion/wwwroot/CFIDE.

    ***correction to previous post...when browsing to new virtual directory the page is still blank.  No errors, just a white page.

    Never seen this!

    To my knowledge, CF10 cannot function without the jakarta virtual directory.

    Create one at the site root and point it to:

    C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig\1

    As for the '1' folder, check to see how many folders you have in there.  1 should be there, but if you have more, that means you ran the connector multiple times and created more instances.  Once the virtual directory is created, try re-running the ColdFusion.  Also, for S&G, make sure all the ColdFusion services are running.

    Also, by default, there should be a CFIDE virtual directory (to the address you specified).  CF uses this to access resources it needs for certain operations.  There are security issues involved if this is a public site (You'll want to restrict access to many CFIDE resources), but CFIDE and jakarta need to exist at site root.
