I have Windows server 2016

IIS 10

Coldfusion 2018

 

I created sample cfm app, and tried to configure this app in IIS

When I run the app - it gives me below error? Seems handler mapping needs to be added in IIS for cfm/cfc etc?

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

    Please elaborate on what you mean by "tried to configure this app in IIS". Do you mean you ran the CF wsconfig tool?

     

    Or do you mean you simply created a new site in IIS, put a CFM page into its folder location, and tried to run it? If the latter, that would not be enough. You must run the CF wsconfig tool. Google the phrase to find links to docs and more on that.

     

    Finally, if you may mean that you DID in the past use that for "all sites", but now you are adding this new site and it doesn't work, that is not enough. You do need to either run the wsconfig tool again for that new site, or use it to remove and re-add the "all sites" setup, or (perhaps easiest) just create a jakarta virtual directory in the new site pointing to the location of other sites that DO work (and which had been confgured when "all sites" were configured).

     

    Let us know how it goes.
