Question

CF10 Sites Produce 500 Error, CFAdmin Runs Fine

(This is a partial repeat of a posting I added this morning to an old thread; reposting here in a new thread as I am not sure the old one will be seen by anyone)

Through fits and starts, we have CF10 running on CF10 Standard on a VPS with Windows 2012 64 bit and IIS 8.0.  I did install the IIS6 options too, as well as the ASAPI and ASP options.  CFAdmin was installed with the "all sites" option.   At this point, I can freely uninstall/re-install CF if need be as all sites are down anyway, unfortunately.

Every site gives me a 500 error but I CAN get the CF Administrator up and it runs and displays pages, updates, etc just fine. 

Another thread I found here in the forums concentrated on the Application pools. I checked the application pools and they all say 32bit=true, so for one site I went through and set them all to false, but that did not fix the problem. Was I supposed to recycle IIS or CF before I tried to render the page again?

For each site, there are 4 application pool listings, one for v2.0 (Classic), v2.0 (Integrated), v4.0 (Classic), and v4.0 (Integrated). 

All sites are showing the CFIDE and Jakarta virtual directories.  The .cfm and .cfc MIME's look like they are set correctly at the top level of all web sites. DNS has been checked and the sites can be pinged successfully.

I'm out of ideas.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

    Hi RLS,

    Could you please check if you are able to get the website running from ColdFusion's internal port 8500. in case, that is disabled, please enable it by uncommenting --C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\runtime\conf -- Server.xml

    <!-- internal webserver start -->

        <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" maxThreads="50"

                   port="8501" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"

                   connectionTimeout="20000"

                   redirectPort="8445" />

        <!-- internal webserver end -->

    Please try to run your web applciation from web root of CF and compare the results

    If this is a development enviornment you can enable the debugging mode to get the details on the error.

    Thanks,

    Anjaneai

    Anjaneai,

    Before I started looking into your diagnostic approach, I visited vishu#13's approach. When I added a site by hand (versus my ISP's control panel approach), I have a working site.

    The previous sites were all added by the control panel method when Open Blue Dragon was installed.  OBD has been removed from this server and CF10 Server Standard has taken its place.

    Do you know of anything that OBD might have left laying around that could be causing this problem?

    That was a false alarm, sorry. I misspelled the name of the website when I re-added it.

    Re-adding it, though, allows it to work.

    Trying hard to figure out why the ones I added manually are working, but the ones that are in there now are not. If I could find that one (or more) setting that is keeping these others from running, I could get it done. Otherwise, I have to drop/add a couple dozen sites.  Might be faster to do that, I guess...


    I believe I have the answer.

    The old application pools were mismatched.

    I created new application pools for each site, chagned basic settings to use this new pool, and voila. Sites working.

    Thanks for your help!
