Question

Prompt to download/ open when opening .cfm files

Hello all

I have a new installation of CF8 on a Windows XP Pro machine. Configured to run on IIS. Whenever I try to open CF Administrator or other cfm files, I get a download pop-up instead of loading the file. I have IIS set up to recognized index.cfm files. I made sure CF8 is actually running.

Any input?

Thanks

Khaled

Hi madhurib5454​, that link is more than 9 years old. That is a long time in software. You could just google: configure IIS for coldfusion.

You might want to re-run the web server connector.  I've had it fail to do its job properly sometimes, during installation.

It's in [JRun]/bin on a multiserver install (not sure where it is for a standard install... perhaps the [ColdFusion]/bin dir?  wsconfig.exe.

If your server is listed, remove it and re-add it again.

Let us know how you get on.

Opening them to display something on a web page or opening them to see the source code?
