HTTP Error 404.2 after running CF 2018 lockdown

So... finally got the lockdown issue all sorted out... but...

Now when I try to access the .cfm test page I get:

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.

Detailed Error Information:

Module   IsapiModule
Notification   ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler   ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit
Error Code   0x800704ec

Requested URL   http://127.0.0.1:80/
Physical Path   D:\DATA\SITES\DefaultWebsite
Logon Method   Anonymous
Logon User   Anonymous

Any ideas?

The page worked just fine before the lockdown tool was applied.

    Try going to /index.cfm instead of just /, and see if that works. If so, the lockdown may have interfered with an IIS setting. There are two ways that IIS talks to CF. One is through the /jakarta virtual directory, and the other is through Handler Mappings. I suspect that the /jakarta virtual directory is broken or has been removed. Unfortunately I don't have an IIS+CF install in front of me to look at, but I've run into similar problems.

    Thanks Dave.  Yep as noted above I can access via \index.cfm just fine.  I just get the error via \.

    Sounds like you have some idea of why.  Any suggestions how to proceed?

    Unfortunately, I don't really remember enough of the details to step you through it without having an IIS+CF machine to look at, but this link can probably help.

    Ok... interesting...

    If I have an index.cfm file in the root and access via:

    127.0.0.1\

    I get that error... and yes index.cfm is the first file listed at the top of default document in iis

    but...

    if I access via:

    127.0.0.1\index.cfm

    It comes up just fine...

    huh?!?!?  ideas?
