Thanks for reading,

EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, OS;
I installed CS5.5 abd CF9 on the new pc using Windows 7 Professional and IIS 7. - 64 bit

DIRECTORIES after installation;

C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator

THIS WORKS;

this DOES NOT WORK;

ERROR in browser:
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.

IIS 7;
Is working locally, 127.0.0.1 , and is a testing server for the internet from home and tests apps and sites online also.
I went to MIME Types in IIS 7 and enabled .cfm extensions with no success. The browser would want to download the .cfm page after that. I read the other simular forum post I didnt see any answers , or did I not look hard enough. I used Coldfision 6 or 7, it was MX, years ago and it worked right away after installation.

Suggesstions and help please? Also , where do I find log files and will log files contain any useful information? Not sure whats going on, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Did you install a 64-bit version of CF?

    Did you choose the option to configure IIS during the install?

    Would you be satisfied with using CF without IIS integration? It's not really necessary for most development.

    Yes < I installed the 64 bit version.

    Yes , I picked the IIS during the installation.

    I use IIS to configure my server to deliver websites. If CF administrator or CF Builder 2.0 will do this I'm all ears... I cant get any CFM page to run on this server so I'm confused as how to use Coldfusion anymore. I used Coldfusion MX with no problems on win server 2003.

    I'm currently trying to configure with Coldfusion Builder 2.0. No luck yet. My boss and client are growing impatient so I hope you can send some good advice.

    Hi Marc,

    Run C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe any configured web servers listed?
