Question

Installing CF 9 kills IIS 7.5 - Why??

First let me say thanks to anyone who can help me as I am now 1 week into this and getting no where...

System info:

Windows 7 Home Premuim

Service Pack 1

IIS 7.5

Prior to installing (attempting) CF9 I had a site configured and working as part of some .NET work I am working on.  The pages displayed and all was good.  I decided to go ahead and install CF9 for some dev work.  As soon as I use the Web Server Configuration Tool it knocks out everything

I can't even get http://localhost to display.  My .NET pages no longer display and the CF admin does not display - NOTHING works.  But as soon as I go back into the Web Server Configuration Tool and delete the server info everything work again but I am back to not having CF9 working.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing and/or doing wrong???

Thanks!!

ColdFusion 9 (and earlier) where designed to work with IIS 6.  They predated IIS 7+.  To work on IIS 7+, you need to install the optional IIS 6 backwards compatibility features of IIS.

ColdFusion 9.0.1 was designed to work with IIS 7+.  You do not (and should not) install the optional IIS 6 backwards compatibility features of IIS once you have installed the 9.0.1 upgrade.

Yes you HAVE to install the upgrade.  Adobe HAS NOT reverse engineered the original 9.0 installer to include the 9.0.1 update.  You have to install 9.0 then install the update.

Thank you - I will go back and give that a try.  I will uninstall all the IIS 6 options and re-install

9 + update.

Ok, making a little progress -

I can now display the default page for http://localhost but if I try to go to any other location i get the following:
