Strange IIS redirect issues... leads to /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll

This is quite strange... the majority of my IIS redirects are working, but this one for some reason is odd.

www.myserver.com leads to www.mynewserver.com no problem... works as it should.

www.myserver.com/about leads to www.mynewserver.com/about ... again, works as it should.

however, this is weird.

www.myserver.com/main.cfm leads to www.mynewserver.com/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll

I'm trying to figure out why, how can I fix this so that

www.myserver.com/main.cfm leads to www.mynewserver.com/main.cfm

Correct answer Erik99

I had this same problem for a few days.  I fixed it by enabling 32 bit applications to true for the application pool that the IIS redirect was working with.

I am glad that you have solved the problem.

For the benefit of others, who may have a similar problem, please share your isapi_redirect.log file.

I'm having this issue as well. I tried to set the IIS 7 application pools to 32 as stated in the answer, but that didn't seem to change the response. I'm still getting the jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll issue.

Should I be setting the application pool of the old-forwarding site? Or the new site it's being forwarded to? I tried both, but it didn't seem to help much either way.

I also found the following article, but it seems to be more focused on IIS 6. But it indicates this might be a permissions issues. But IIS 7 doesn't seem to assign permissions in the same way.

Any further information on how to resolve this problem would be most appreciated!!

Thanks!

Maybe my instance of this might help clarify: I was working off of the following stack overflow link's accepted answer and also got the jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll issue. (I'm working with Windows Server 2012, IIS 8.5, and CF 11).

IIS HTTP to HTTPS relative redirect - Stack Overflow

After some "change setting, restart sites, test, change setting back and change different setting, restart sites, test" combinations, I found that this combination worked:  (It actually matches what Erik99 said to do, but I didn't understand I only needed to change a single application pool.)

Real site (HTTPS binding only, actually contains code and virtual directories)

Application pool's Advanced Settings > Enable 32-Bit Applications : False

Http_Redirect site (HTTP binding only, is a blank shell of a folder with no directories)

Application pool's Advanced Settings > Enable 32-Bit Applications : True

+1 for kakosey's clarification of Erik99's answer (enabling 32-bit applications for ONLY the site that needs to be redirected).

Windows Server 2012 R2

Coldfusion 10

IIS 8.5

I still have had no luck with this error... something about the redirect gets it stuck at isapi_redirect.dll

Did you ever find a solution to this?  Having same issue here.

Still no solution to the problem... glad to see I am not the only one though.  I have rigged it though for the time being by doing the rewrite in the application.cfc file until a better fix is available.
