No IIS showing in ColdfusionServer Settings

I installed one time with the built in CF Server on port 8501 added CF Builder to Flash Builder 4. Now I am trying setting up just CF Builder on a different machine without Flash Builder 4 using IIS as the local server.

I add the local IIS and remote IIS servers in the RDS panel but when I try to add these into a project they do not show up as option in the ColdFusion Server Settings panel. If I try to "Add Server" I get an error that the server already exists.

I haven't found instructs for setting this up for IIS yet. What needs to be done for IIS?

FYI, make sure anonymous access is turned on for your root website in IIS. If you need IWA, set it on the subfolders you need. Just got my IIS server working in CFbuilder (finally)

I think this is because IIS is not supported as yet.

Is that correct?

IIS is supported in ColdFusion Builder.

You have added the server in RDS and if you have to associate these servers to your project they should be a part of the server manager.

You will have to import these RDS servers into the server manager as explained here: http://blogs.adobe.com/cfbuilder/2009/08/importing_rds_server.html

Then once the server is added you can associate them with your project.

Thank you for the response. It is good to know it is supposed to work.

I keep getting and error message "Invalid Server Home Directory" unless I chose

c:\Coldfusion9.  Which is NOT the server home on IIS.

So I assume there is something that needs to be configured on IIS before CF Builder will recognize it.

Are you sure this is supposed to work?? ;o)

I did read something about only supporting Jrun. Which is the only way I have been able to get it to work.
