Error 404.2 trying to serve index.cfm as directory default page

Question

Hello,Here is my server- Windows 2008 Server R2 Ent- IIS 7.5- ColdFusion 10CF10 installation ran smoothly, the wsconfig seems to have created all necessary stuffs like :ISAPI filter : tomcat C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dllISAPI restriction authorized : tomcat_all C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dllindex.cfm added in Document by default, placed at first place up in the listcfide, jakarta virtual directories created, etc..Everything is running ok EXCEPT that IIS is unable to server index.cfm as a directory default page :- this generate an error : http://www.example.com/ (to simplify, index.cfm is the only page in root directory)- this doesn't generate an error and serve the index.cfm page correctly : http://www.example.com/index.cfmError 404.2 is talking about (in french)"La page que vous avez demandée est introuvable en raison des paramètres de la liste des restrictions ISAPI et CGI du serveur Web."`I don't see anything special in ISAPI/CGI restrictions parameters, they are even the same as on the dev server which doesn't have the problem...I tried to remove the connectors by running wsconfig and then re-run to reinstall the connectors, without success.Any help appreciated as I'm running out of idea...Thank you.

right, I tested without the file in the directory and it doesn't change anything

Yes, no surprise there. Well everything that I am finding for that particular error discusses the ISAPI and CGI restrictions option within IIS. The error itself states the same - "HTTP Error 404.2 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the ISAPI and CGI Restriction list settings on the Web server".

Are you sure that the settings for that are the same on both servers AND that they are enabled the same on both servers?

I realize that it works when you specify index.cfm but that error is telling you that the ISAPI and CGI settings aren't correct. Otherwise it would just be a normal 404. Right?

I have found a couple of posts relating to IIS 404.2 errors and the common symptom appears to be enabling the ISAPI and CGI. Is it enabled on your server?
