We had Cold Fusion 6 installed and a few months ago upgraded to 7. We left the old CF on in case we needed to fall back to it. A few weeks ago we had an issue with the CF 6 performance monitor taxing the server and decided to uninstall CF 6. I uninstalled through add/remove programs. This resulted in uninstalling the cold fusion admin folder and making the virtual site inaccessible. I recovered the Cold Fusion Admin folder and re-setup the virtual site but we are not able to bring up the admin site. Any suggestions on how to re-install Cold Fusion Admin?

    Ian,
    Thank for responding. I had a backup of the admin folder and copied it back to the place we had it before which is: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator. I then went to IIS under our current website and added a virtual folder for CF Admin, setting the local path to the location of the admin folder. I can't figure out what I am missing. When I browse the cf admin through IIS, I get HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden Error.

    You can just copy any valid /../cfide/.. folder Administration from any
    other ColdFusion installation of the same version to the fubared server.
