Hi there, ive been trying install coldfusion 9 standard on a window server 2008 box and im running into some issues.

I get throught the install process find up to the point where i load "http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm" for the first time, where i am just presented with a 404 page.

I have checked that the coldfusion 9 service's are running and that "IIS Metabase and IIS6 Configuration Compatibility / ISAPI" are installed. I have tried restarting iis, restarting server, uninstall, reinstall, downloading the latest install files and manually setting up the mappings for .cfc/.cfm

Im a bit lost as to what to try next, ive installed it on other servers and its been fine.

System:

ColdFusion 9 Standard
Windows Server 2008
IIS7
SQL 2008

i have put a static test page in the admin folder and i cant see it via 127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/test.html but i can through C://inetpub/wwwroot/CFIDE/administrator/test.html so im guessing that the ip of 127.0.0.1 is pointing somewhere else or not even set up?

It should be the default "c:/inetpub/wwwroot"

I dont know how to check this. i have tried pinging it and got a reply.

I would verify this assumption by checkign your IIS/Windows documentation. Verify that the site can serve a static HTML page before troubleshooting CF.

Hi,

Please check this post.

I think you need to update CF 9.0.1

In the above link, the reply given by Deb

If you haven't already done so, you might also want to install the CF 9.0.1 update, as it supports IIS7 without needing any of the IIS6 compatibility features.
