ColdFusion 2023 downloads instead of rendering

I have loaded ColdFusion Stander Edition 2023 (fully licensed) on a fairly new windows server running server 2019, 64 GB. CF admin pages work fine but MY CF pages will not load. When a link is hit, the page tries to download, not render, regardless of broswer used. I have combed thru these posts but have not found an answer. IIS is running, Cf is running, WSconfig was executed and the Connector app was run. Like I said the CF Admin works fine but my .cfm pages download. Any help would be deeply appreciated as I have been fighting this since Monday. ISAPI Filters for TomCat are in place and Handler Mappings for .cfm are in place. What else can I check?

My immediate instinct is: 

  • Run the Web Server Configuration Tool, C:\ColdFusion2023\cfusion\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe

Before folks may start tossing our guesses, was the iis running an earlier cf version first? If so, there may be bleed over of settings from the old version.

 

Even if it was not, were any of the cf iis settings brought over in a copy of either the web.config file of the site in question? What about the central application host.config? (Was anyone other than you responsible for setting up iis before you ran the wsconfig tool?) 

 

And if you double click that cfm handler, is it pointing to the same folder as that tomcat isapi filter?

 

Just a few points to start with.

Both point to "C:\ColdFusion2023\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll".

But I did notice there is no .cfm mime type, is tahat needed?

Sorry I missed your reply here a few weeks ago, DrByte. I'd have said no, there's no need of a cfm mime type setting. 

 

I was reminded of this thread when bkbk replied today, below. Had you since resolved the problem or does it remain?

 

While I'd not have proposed you run the wsconfig tool (as you'd said already that you did run it), if anything does or did solve it for you, future readers finding this will appreciate hearing whatever did work.
