Question

Trying to access my site without index.cfm fails

Hi folks

Today installed CF10 Standard edition on a server that had been using CF7.  Figured it was time to get current.  This server is running Win2003/32bit and IIS 6. 

Anyway, after configuring CF10, if I access a few of my sites using just the URL without "/index.cfm", I get the following IIS error:

Page Cannot be displayed:

HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Now, if I include "/index.cfm" all seems to work fine and I can login/navigate my site fine. 


I've confirmed that index.cfm is in my default documents panel in IIS6 and I've even run the remove_ALL_connectors.bat and then reconfigured them and still no luck.  The same ones that worked before, work now.  The ones that didn't, still don't.


Now full disclosure, since I read CF10 could live alongside CF8, CF9, I stopped CF7 but left it installed when I installed 10.  Then after 10 seemed to be working fine, I uninstalled CF7.   So that's when I noticed this issue.  Upon looking at it, I decided to reboot and reconfigure the IIS connectors but that didn't seem to help.

Any ideas?  Thanks.

So just to add to this a little...i decided to uninstall CF10 since it felt like maybe the CF7 uninstall may have screwed things up.  Anyway, I uninstalled CF10 and then reinstalled it and it still acts the same way. URLs with /index.cfm seem to work fine but URLs without it fail.  All have index.cfm as the only default document in the IIS setup.

Hi,

Please ensure all of these IIS features are enabled:

  • ASP.NET
  • CGI
  • ISAPI Extensions
  • ISAPI Filters

The Default Document list (this list will be created when the configuration is added) is mentioned in web.config file at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Just rename the web.config to web.config_old and restart IIS.

Regards,

Anit Kumar

Same problem here. With IIS6. web.config is used only in IIS7.
