CF 2021 Standard

[bloodbanker]

Hi,

I just did a new install of CF 2021 on a Windows server.  All went well, no error messages.

I uploaded a test file and visited it from the local server, I get a 404 error.  I checked and CF is running.

The same server has php running on it, and a test php file in the same folder processes.

Before I go poking around in the CF administrator and making changes, did I miss something obvious?

Thank you

Hi BB,

Did you connect CF to webserver with WSCONFIG? 404 error sounds like webserver does not know how to process CFM page.

Hope that helps, Carl.

I did not.  I just did.  Problem solved.  🙂

Thank you!

OK, another question.

I followed the directions here https://www.cfguide.io/coldfusion-administrator/server-settings-websocket/ and got the main site working.

I tried to add a new site to the server and am getting a 404 error for the new site.  

I assume there is a step I missed again?

Thank you

Hmm, odd update.

I created a CFM test page that just lists the site name and the current date.

If I go here, I get 404

https://MyNewSite.org/index.cfm

But I can view the page here

https://MyNewSite.org

index.cfm is listed at the top of my Default Documents in IIS.  I suspect that has nothing to do with it though.

what is the default document you have in your webroot. Is it index.cfm or something else?

Hi,

Since it's a test site, I only have one document, index.cfm.

Real site since it will be public when done

https://harvardtransfusion.partners.org

This is the same page but does not work

https://harvardtransfusion.partners.org/index.cfm

Thank you

Not sure if this info helps, the primary site works fine with a similar scenario.  That one I can't share a link to, it's behind our firewall.  Same server though.
