Hi,

I've installed coldfusion 2018 on windows server 2016 and added 2 websites in IIS one is loading coldfusion page fine and second one is throwing 404 error physical path of both IIS websites is same C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ Any idea what would be going wrong ? Hosting server is AWS EC2 windows instance.

Thanks !

Hi Sikander,

You have to remove the connector using the wsconfig utility and re-add it. Please follow the steps.

Go to ColdFusion2018\cfusion\runtime\bin and run the wsconfig.exe as Run as Admin. Remove the current entry and re-add it with ALL website and then check your other website.

Thanks,

Hi Priyank,

I'm having this issue all over again site 1 working http://18.223.41.230/index.cfm site 2 throwing 404 again http://18.223.38.196/test.cfm​ and it isn't going away this time around by adding removing connector PFA

I'm wondering if it's Coldfusion 2018 that sucks or if it is AWS ec2 hosting that is not compatible with cf ?

Any idea ?

Best,

Sikander

Hi Dave,

Suddenly CF admin stopped working too even though one of my cf websites are working http://18.223.41.230/index.cfmhttp://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm this link has also started throwing 404 just now PFA, any thoughts ?

Best,

Sikander


As Priyank mentioned, you have to use the built-in web server to access the CF Administrator. This is by design, and is new to CF 2018 - and is a good thing! I used to spend a lot of time configuring CF servers so that CF Administrator wasn't exposed to untrusted networks.
