Question

IIS/ cfm page / 404 Issue

I have a virtual website running off of IIS (looks like version 8.5,) and ColdFusion 11.

When I access a page as http://something.example.org/ which uses a ColdFusion template (index.cfm), the page correctly displays. However, when I request http://something.example.org/index.cfm it results in a 404.

All .cfm pages result in a 404

Other virtual websites on the same server behave correctly, returning successfully for both http://other.example.org and http://other.example.org/index.cfm

Since I just set up this new website, I'm wondering if there is an additional setting I'm just missing that prevents this error from occurring?

Pages with non .cfm extensions, like .htm & .pdf display properly.

There is a conflict between your ISAPI Filter settings, your handler mappings, and your jakarta virtual directory. Usually, this can best be addressed by uninstalling and reinstalling the connector.

Dave,

I see the Jakarta directory under the Default Web Site directory. Is this the jakarta virtual directory? Is this the only Jakarta virtual directory?

  1. How do I uninstall it?
  2. How do I reinstall the connector?
  3. Is jakarta the connector?

Each site should have its own jakarta virtual directory. You shouldn't have to do anything to it. Uninstall and reinstall the connector using the Web Server Configuration Tool.
