Question

issue with web server CF 2021

i have had 3-4 iis cf sites running for a long time. I went to setup a new iis site. I did not mean this to be a cold fusion site, but when I set it up, it configured it with the cold fusion parameters. My new application is supposed to just be a reverse proxy to point to a Python Windows service. I went to the web server configuration tool in Adobe and found that all the sites were configured under the "all" option. I tried to click that and remove thinking I could add them individually, but I was having a problem and it would not let me. Some sort of permission error accessing some of my ISAPI logs. I then clicked the "Add" button, and I saw the option to add all the sites individually. My thought was, I could add them all individually and then just remove the one I didn't want. That actually worked. However, I'm still left with the 'all' option as well. I'm trying to get rid of the one that says "all", and no matter what I do, it's not working in the web server configuration tool. I do have them all configured individually. Not sure if anybody has any tips on how I can get the 'all' removed. I've heard that having 'all' and them individually is not good because it could make double calls or something like that through the server?

    I am wondering since i am having problems with teh GUI if i ran something like this: cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig.exe -ws iis --remove -site "ALL" -v  (not sure if that is correct command)? my fear is taht would remove everything i guess i could jsut readd what i want if thats the case i really would like to keep the individual ones i have and just remove the ALL

    The gui and the cli both run the same wsconfig.jar ultimately, and thus the same appcmd under the covers (the actual windows cli tool that performs config of iis) .

     

    And yes, you should be able to rerun things if needed.

     

    Hope you'll try my first proposal.

    Not aware of any "double calls" issue. As for the inability to remove all, try stopping both cf and iis. Does that work?

     

    If not there is a manual approach. Let's see if the simpler approach works.
