Installing CF5 on Win2008 / IIS7 ... anyone experienced?

Report · Dec 18, 2009

So I've got some old Coldfusion 5 applications that are being moved from one server to another. Unfortunately, the new server is windows 2008. Of course the newer IIS is not recognized as a webservice in the setup process so you must manually config your webserver. the controls in IIS7 are completely different than IIS6 but I used the following document as a guideline to try to get it to work: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/186/tn_18689.html.

Anyone have any suggestions or documentation on how to install CF5 on IIS7? Any help would be great.

Thanks.

You might try setting up the "IIS 6.0 Management Compatibility" feature in IIS prior to installing CF.
