CF9 to CF10 upgrade, default page in a loop

[loyd_michael]

Windows 2008 R1, IIS 7.5, CF10

We just upgraded our development standalone CF9 server to CF10. Had a few issues along the way, but got it installed (other forum entries refernce the issue with having to add individual sites in IIS via wsconfig). What happens is that our default page (default.cfm) gets an error 310, redirect loop. If I can get a cookie session set, I can get into the website, just not on the default page. I have completely removed and re-installed IIS, whci helped soem of our issues, but not the basic one of the loop. Any thoughts? BTW, I am a sys admin, not a CF expert by any means.

And just to verify, this was workign fine in CF9 on the same box.

This webpage has a redirect loop

The webpage at https://<SERVER-NAME-REMOVED>/<DIR-NAME-REMOVED>/default.cfm has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

Our developer noticed if he comments out the contents of accessSecurity.cfm, the site works correclrty, albiet without the security. Just a piece of the puzzle.

It appears the PATH_INFO cgi variable is not being set, yet another piece of the puzzle. Does CF10 somehow handle anthing differently?

I found some stuff out in the googleverse that refernces PATH_INFO not being set in CF10 with IIS OR Apache. Anyone else have this issue OR fix?

Yes, this is an issue. The Path_info variable no longer populates. You can substitute in cgi.SCRIPT_NAME instead.
