CF8 Upgrade - Web Connector Problems
I've just attempted to upgrade from CF 7 to CF 8. I've
encountered the following problem regardless of the type of CF 8
install I do. I'm installing on a Windows 2003 server that has been
successfully running CF 7 since it first came out.
After the install/upgrade I receive what appears to be an IIS dialog box requesting a username and password when accessing any page on the web server ( cfm or regular html pages). I'm not able to access the CF administrator pages. If I run the web server connector tool and remove the connection to my IIS server all html pages display properly and of course you can't access CF pages. If I add the connector back using the tool I still can't access CF pages and can no longer access html pages. I have even gone to the extent of editing my system registry to remove all references to adobe/macromedia and uninstalling and reinstalling IIS.
I've tried the upgrade path as well as uninstalling CF 7 and doing a fresh CF 8 ( both standalone and multiserver) install with the same results. I have successfully reinstalled CF 7 and deployed my car file to get my settings back. I have been successful with the CF 8 upgrade on both my test and development servers with no problem. I'm now totally at a loss as to any other possible solutions.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
