Administrator not available

[mezdweller]

I am installing CF9 for a customer with Win2k8 Server, IIS7 and CF9 Standard Edition 64bit, and am using the Adobe Coldfusion Lockdown guide to install. After following the appropriate tasks, I went to run the Administrator and am receiving a coldfusion 'File not found: /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm' error.

There are no errors recorded in the installation logfile for CF but the administrator has been installed into a non standard volume and directory as advised by the lockdown guide. Has anyone come across this issue before. I suspect that /CFIDE/ isnt mapped correctly in the config, but editing the neo-runtime file has not helped (which had no CFIDE entry in it anyway).

At my wits end...

When you installed CF, did you choose the built-in web server or did you choose IIS integration? If you chose IIS integration, you need to create a virtual mapping in IIS to allow access to the CF Administrator. No editing of CF files is required to make this work.

Chose IIS integration. In the lockdown guide, a virtual mapping isn't required because you point your admin site directly at the path you will install the admin files into (eg f:\websites\cfadmin\wwwroot). However I think now that I must have made a security settings mistake because when I turned on anon. access to the site and turned off ssl it works fine. Working through this now. Thanks for the response and will update with my findings.

did you try http://localhost/cfide/administrator ?

Hi all,

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling again. One thing I neglected to do was run the install as administrator. It seemed to install OK but obviously there were some hooks it missed even though the install logs told me it was fine.
