Hi,

Can anyone here please tell me if Coldfusion 8 will run on "Windows Server 2008 Web"?

It does not list it in ther system requirements?  Better still has anyone here actually installed it on this version opersating system?

Thanks,

Aaron

    Hi there, yes you can install it, it's supported by CF, but I strongly

    recommend you to look for a tutorial due to new security restrictions in

    Thanks for the prompt reply mate!

    I have already had a look for some online help but have been unsuccessful thus far.  There does not seem to be much with regard to the "WEB" edition.  Do you know of any please?

    I have already installed CF8 on our PC running Win Server 2008 Web.  At the end of the install the only error I got was that it couldn't access the CF Admin setup page because the MIME types were not recognised.  I then added those through IIS but when I went to the CF Admin page it is all in goobily gook....if you know what I mean?
