ColdFusion 2016 migration issue

I ended up finding the issue in web.config.

I had to change the directory here from ColdFusion10:

<handlers>

            <remove name="ISAPI-dll" />

            <add name="ISAPI-dll" path="*.dll" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\ColdFusion2016\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Execute" preCondition="bitness64" />

        </handlers>

This didn't happen on every server, must have been more custom config

tbarroqueiro, you don't mention if you re using IIS but you refer to being on WIndows, so I will assume you are using IIS.

Check if you have a "jakarta" virtual directory defined in the site whose pages you're trying to visit. If you do not, you will see this error (a request for just the domain works, but a request for a .cfm does not). And if you visited the page on your IIS server itself, you would see details explaining this (unless you changed the default behavior of the "error pages" feature for your IIS site.)

The problem is that since CF10, we must have a jakarta virtual directory (pointing to a folder in the config/wsconfig folder of CF). That virtual directory is normally created by the CF installer or CF web server config tool, when you run that against sites defined in IIS at the time you run the tool. But if you add sites AFTER running the installer or the wsconfig tool, nothing in IIS can cause that jakarata virtual directory to be created automatically (though it does cause the ISAPI filter and Handler mappings features to be inherited from the server level in IIS).

Let us know if this solves it for you.

Hi tbarroqueiro,

Thank you for sharing the details. Could you please let us know if you are accessing via the Web Server or the internal port.
