ColdFusion 11 Fresh Install Administrator Login Not Working

Am shifting from a machine that had CF9 on it, then the Splendor Beta, now with CF11 and though I've re-installed CF11 multiple times and have tried various methods I've seen in other threads (including the passwordreset.bat and using localhost) no matter what when I go to the Configuration and Settings Migration Wizard after install to get things going I get "Invalid Password. Please try again." Very aggravating as I'm eager to get rolling with CF11 fully and this is such a goofy roadblock.

Could you please go to cfusion >> lib folder and open the adminconfig.xml and change the value of <runsetupwizard> to false. Save the file and try login in the admin page again.

Thanks nealb‌ - installing IIS Static Content worked for me too.  I should have realized when there were assets (images/css) missing from the CF login page.

As a stop-gap, we were able to get in using the following method:

1. Go to ColdFusion11\cfusio\lib\neo-security.xml and set the admin.security.enabled variable to false

2. Restart the CF Service

3. Go back to CF Admin

Hope that helps.

This seemed to have resolve the issue in Windows 8.1:

1. Installed the platform installer for IIS

2. Installed the IIS static content component

This was driving me crazy.  Installing IIS static content fixed it for me.

    We apologize for inconvenience. Why are you still trying Splendor Beta? The full version is available at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion Can you try that?

    No, this is a problem I'm having with CF11 proper, didn't have any such problems with the Splendor Beta.

    Here are possible workarounds, you may try:-

            Note:- Enabling internal/built port would require a ColdFusion Application Server restart.

    The possible reason of this behavior is the CFID and CFTOKEN getting changed from the request start to request end. To find the cause, you can try running Charles Tool and follow the below steps:-

    1. First of all stop all http request.
    2. Close all browsers.
    3. Install Charles proxy.
    4. Start Charles proxy.
    5. Requests few times for http request (The CF Admin URL) to record its in-depth in Charles session/file.
    6. Then save those Charles session/file and review them for error/mistake in component and interface.

    Hope this helps
