Question

IIS/ cfm page / 404 Issue

I have a virtual website running off of IIS (looks like version 8.5,) and ColdFusion 11.

When I access a page as http://something.example.org/ which uses a ColdFusion template (index.cfm), the page correctly displays. However, when I request http://something.example.org/index.cfm it results in a 404.

All .cfm pages result in a 404

Other virtual websites on the same server behave correctly, returning successfully for both http://other.example.org and http://other.example.org/index.cfm

Since I just set up this new website, I'm wondering if there is an additional setting I'm just missing that prevents this error from occurring?

Pages with non .cfm extensions, like .htm & .pdf display properly.

There is a conflict between your ISAPI Filter settings, your handler mappings, and your jakarta virtual directory. Usually, this can best be addressed by uninstalling and reinstalling the connector.

    Dave,

    I see the Jakarta directory under the Default Web Site directory. Is this the jakarta virtual directory? Is this the only Jakarta virtual directory?

    1. How do I uninstall it?
    2. How do I reinstall the connector?
    3. Is jakarta the connector?

    Sorry. So I don't currently have a Jakarta directory in my site. So I should just install it, as there is nothing to uninstall. correct?


    Hi,

    If you have followed the lockdown in your server, please check for the /jakarta directory, if it is set to DENY. If, yes then it will not work, you have to allow it.

    To check this in IIS, open the IIS>Request Filtering>URL.

    Also, please check Dave's suggestion.

    Thanks,

    Priyank
