HELP! 500 error on install
I am running XP Pro, IIS is newly reinstalled (std), reboot,
virus software turned off, firewall off, ColdFusion 8 installed, no
errors shown.
Try to run Administrator to finalize setup and all I get is 500 - server error.
I have scoured the site here and the web and all I can find is old solutions for CF 4+ that says to check the IIS config for Application name. The new version has that set fine. I lowered the Application Protection level to Low also.
All I can find is one thread that suggests the Java is not running correctly. I do not have the knowledge base to check that.
Does anyone know what the problem may be? What else can I try? I have done it repeatedly and no difference.
FYI, the system is running CF7 with the local server (127.0.0.1:8500) installed. I do not want to uninstall CF7 until I get 8 running so as not to lose settings and other items. I did install CF8 as local server, it went to 127.0.0.1:8501 and then the Admin would run, but I'd rather not install it that way. I want it to work with IIS!
Thanks!
