Hi Guys, I have the following situation:

We have a dying CF6+IIS5 Server that we're trying to replace with an IIS6+CF8 Box.

New IIS6 Install, new CF8 Install.

My site root is: D:\internet\website\site\, exactly as in IIS5.

When I access the site, it works fine untill I click a link. This link refers to a location outside of my site's root. The directory is: D:\internet\website\app

IIS6 Gives me a 404. CF Admin mappings are exactly as on old CF box.

Any ideas?

    You need to add a virtual directory mapping your app inside your root
    (if it's not in your root and it's not "aliased" inside your root then
    it cannot be accessed).

    I enabled debugging, this is what I see:

    10:54:30.030 - coldfusion.runtime.TemplateNotFoundException - in : line -1

    File not found: /Rentals/index.cfm

    CF_TEMPLATE_PATH=D:\Internet\MetroPropGroup_new\site\Rentals\index.cfm

    PATH_TRANSLATED=D:\Internet\MetroPropGroup_new\site\Rentals\index.cfm

    this should read :

    D:\Internet\MetroPropGroup_new\Apps\Rentals\index.cfm

    Any idea on why?
