Question

ISS not recognizing .cfm files

I recently installed MX7 with no updaters onto a laptop running IIS and WinXP SP2 and IIS 5.1

I can resolve an .htm and .html file in the root.

When I try to open a .cfm file, I am asked if I want to edit it or save it.

I used wsconfig and removed, then readded, IIS. I stopped and started the CF services as suggested by the WSconfig tool.

No dice.

Anyone have any suggestions besides RTFM?

Unfortunately, the manual is the best place to start. Review the IIS configuation page here. I would open up the IIS MMC and confirm NONE of the mappings or ISAPI filters exist for jrun.dll under both the top 'Web Sites' level properties and then again under the default. If nothing is there run wsconfig again and try configuring just for the default web site, since it is the only one that exists on XP. However this time, open a DOS window. CD to \cfusionmx7\bin\connectors. Run IIS_connector.bat to configure IIS. Note any errors that occur while it runs.

Review the ISAPI filter and extension mappings per the manual - its only a few paragraphs. Is every thing there as expected - filter, extension mappings and JRunScripts virtual directory? You can also review the cfusionmx7\runtime\lib\wsconfig\wsconfig.log for errors.

Let us know the results. If things are not working, you may want to uninstall cfmx7 completely. Then download the current trial from adobe downloads. If you have a license - enter it during the installation and a licensed version of 7.02 will install. It makes sense to use the latest version for a new installation. You get all the fixes from the previous 2 releases. Also, if you have a license, you can open a free email installation incident with support, here.

All is well after a reinstall.

In the immortal words of Pogo, which I frequently am reminded of, ..."we have met the enemy...and he is us!"

Thanks again.
