Question

Sharepoint 2007

I accidentally installed ColdFusion 7 Trial on a production server running Sharepoint. I immediately uninstalled CF but now my Sharepoint default documents no longer function.

example: http://intranet.myserver.com/ doesn't show me the web page after I login

I now need to type in http://intranet.myserver.com/default.aspx

What happened during the uninstall process to cause this issue and how do I correct it?

Thanks

I just noticed that the documents that were uploaded to Sharepoint are also no longer found.

This doesn't say much for ColdFusion's installation / uninstall process. I tried to call Adobe for help but they said that this forum is my only recourse.

Any help would be greatly appeciated.

firstly, CF plays just fine on a Sharepoint (ASP.NET) server - so no problems there, nor would it have deleted anything from you the web path. Also, sharepoint does not store content in the traditional website paths - it is all stored in the SQL database, the website will contain a few stubs files but you won't see any of your site sharepoint site heirarchy, lists or such like.

Something you could try is creating another virtual IIS server on that box (if you haven't already got one) and then via the sharepoint central administrator extend the virtual server with Sharepoint and then compare that to your busted one. It'll probably be something really simple...

Thanks John... I'll try that... Just not sure why anything in Sharepoint would have been changed by a simple install / uninstall of ColdFusion.

Check your site's properties page in Internet Information Services Manager. Look on the Documents tab. Verify "Enable default content page" is checked and that "default.aspx" is the first item listed below that.

That was the first place I looked. The default.aspx entry was not there. So I added it and restarted the server. That had no affect.

The Login dialog would just repeatedly pop up after entering the User Id. and Password.

I looked in the root of the web site but found no file called default.aspx (just global.asax and web.config) so I'm not sure why adding that allows me to connect to the site.
