Question

Safari won't accept default document when document is index.cfm

Request www.electionsonline.com using anything other than Safari on a Mac, and all works perfectly. Request www.electionsonline.com/index.cfm using any browser on any OS and all works.

But request only www.electionsonline.com using Safari on a Mac and it simply hangs for several minutes until timing out. index.cfm is set in IIS to be the default document.

This only started after migrating the site to AWS on a Windows Server 2016 machine running IIS 10. Prior to that (different hosting company, using Windows Server 2008 R2) the site honored the default document, index.cfm, without any problems.

Here's a link to the bug ticket:

Also, disabling http2 seems to fix the issue.

This was not fixed in the latest CF hotfix, at least for CF11.

Aloha,

I don't do much on Windows, but is IIS set up? I am assuming that you are testing on your local machine using localhost.

I am assuming that you are testing on your local machine using localhost.

In Apache, you can set the defaults in httpd.conf, and I am sure that there is some file like this where you can set up what index pages will be used.

I hope that this helps, if you have any questions let me know,

Johnny

I should have mentioned, index.cfm is declared as the default document in IIS across the entire site.
