ColdFusion 10 install on Windows server 2008 R2

I have CF 10 installed on a Windows 2008 server but can't open any .cfm files including the CF Administrator.  It prompts to download the file instead of opening it in the browser.  I successful ran CF version 9 before installing version 10.  Any ideas?

Hi mikeh30276,

Is CF9 still installed?  Also, if a C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config file exists, could you rename (disable) it to 'web_config', then restart IIS and try launching CF Admin again?

Thanks,

-Aaron

Thanks for the help. The web.config file was the culprit.

Sounds like you need to run the web server configuration tool to enable CF on the IIS installation.

Thanks for the reply. It looks to already be configured. Am I missing something?

Does CF10 web server configuration tool say this?

Do HTM HTML web pages work ok?

Perhaps start CF10 from CMD prompt (as administrator):
Stop CF10 application service from SERVICES.MSC
CMD
CD \ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin
cfstat.bat

Any error or warnings?

HTH, Carl.
