Hello,

I just installed CF MX 70 server Developer edition, and when I view a .cfm file, I only see the HTML code. It is not processing what is in my <CF> brackets... for instance this .CFM code:


<CFQUERY NAME="pipe_info" DBTYPE="ODBC" DATASOURCE="HixRub_Access">
SELECT FeatID, TITLE, STATUS
FROM ProjectSites
WHERE FeatID = '1'
</CFQUERY>
<cfoutput query="pipe_info">
<TABLE bgcolor="000099" align="center" width="244" height=345 border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<TR>
<TD align="center" bgcolor="9999CC">FeatID</TD>
<TD align="left" bgcolor="FFFFFF">#FeatID#</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD align="center" bgcolor="9999CC">TITLE</TD>
<TD align="left" bgcolor="FFFFFF">#Title#</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD align="center" bgcolor="9999CC">STATUS</TD>
<TD align="left" bgcolor="FFFFFF">#STATUS#</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</cfoutput>

...reads in my IE browser as this:

SELECT FeatID, TITLE, STATUS FROM ProjectSites WHERE FeatID = '1'
FeatID #FeatID#
TITLE #Title#
STATUS #STATUS#

I don't remember having to configure my IIS 5.0 web server after installation. Has this changed? Pleasehelp.

Thank you,
Jason

I just upgraded from CF5 to CF7. In the installation instructions PDF file that came on the CD (I'm sure same is available in LIVEDOCS for download) was a section that described your situation. It's on Page 50, "CONFIGURING IIS IN WINDOWS" section.

It basically says to 1. start the WEB SERVER CONFIGURATION TOOL, 2. Click ADD. 3. In server drop-down list, select the host name and the server or cluster name that you want to configure. In CFMX7, the server name is always "coldfusion." 4. In the Web Server Properties area, select IIS and specify the website. For IIS, you typically specify ALL. 5. Select the "Configure Web Server for ColdFusion MX Applications" option.

Then, here is the part you are describing: The next line says: "CAUTION: OMITTING THE PREVIOUS STEP CAUSES YOUR WEB SERVER TO SERVE CFMX7 SOURCE CODE.

6. Click OK. 7. Copy the CFIDE and CFDOCS directories from cf_root/wwwroot to your web server root directory...and so on.

Not sure if this helps. Just sounded like it pertained to your situation.

Thanks for the note, Gary. I finally did get it to installed and running correctly and I had to uninstall Systems Suites v6 to do so, first. That was the only difference from this build to the last successful install. Not that it matters but II use Apache, not IIS as the web server of choice; much more user friendly, especially compared to version 6 of IIS. I've had CF running on my machine since version 3 and I've never had these kinds of problems in the past; the installs have always gone like clock-work.

Please check if coldfusion is working properly on your computer.
Incase you are using IIS and coldfusion, use the IP address
http://localhost/cfide/administrator/index.cfm
It should bring up the coldfusion administrator login page
If you are using the coldfusion inbuilt server, use the IP address
http://localhost:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm
That should again bring up the coldfusion administrator.

Incase the administrator doesn't come up, there is something amiss with your coldfusion installation.
Hope this helps

I know your question was for jhill75 but permit me to elaborate. I was curious as to the version of CFMX. The statement was CF MX 70 but was that 7.0 or 7.01 or 7.02? I had 7.01 running with Apache 2.2.2 on an XP machine. Later I had to rebuild my machine and obtained Apache 2.2.3 and CF 7.02. While the web server is running fine, I can't get CF to work. I manually installed the connector and when I tried to get into the CF Admin index.cfm file, that gave me a "configuration error". I'd dump the logs for you but I'm in between installs. I'm about to install CF v7.02 for the 4th time thinking that on the other three attempts I didn't do a checksum inquiry. My checksum looks good according to the Adobe site info so off I go. The only other difference between my system where Apache 2.2.2 and CF v7.01 was running, was with the Firewall and Virus checker. I was using Symantec System Works. I abandoned that and went to System Suite v6 when I rebuilt the machine. Before I attempt my 4th install of CF, I will uninstall System Suite to rule out any interference with that. I've been using CF since version 3 and have never had this much trouble with the installation; how times have changed.

One other thing I want to mention. I noticed that neither of the ODBC services get installed although the routines that Windows Services call are present and I edit the Register to correct a path problem (the drive and CFusionMX7 folder name is missing), I get it stated and then it stops. This failure is not mentioned in the install log for CF; reading that log would make one believe everything was fine. Also, when I begin the install of the connector, the routine claims that it failed for one of more of the following reasons, all of which I believe to be false: CF is not running (according to Services it is) or if it is running there is a block imposed by the firewall or something else but on all three previous installations I supressed the filewall and "netstat" indicates all ports are operating and there is no log of a blocked port.
