Render HTML pages using Coldfsuion 9 - Possible like it is in 8?

[oli_from_the_valley]

Hi, is it possible to render html in version 9 as in 8 specified in  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405515.html

I have tried the above in CF9.1 64bit IIS7.5 Win2008R2 but doesn't seem to work, was wondering if anybody else had got it working

thanks

What did you try?

I am sure it is possible from the ColdFusion side.  The ColdFusion server could pretty much not care less about what extension you have it parse for CFML syntax to execute.

The main trick is to get the web server to pass requests with the HTML extensions to the ColdFusion application server.  That may will be done a bit differently on your 2008 IIS7.5 system then the advice given in that knowledge base article for a 2003 IIS 6.x system.

On the note of extensions that knowledge base article discussed modifying the ".HTML" extension.  Similar steps would need to be done to handle ".HTM" extensions that are often also used.

Hi, thanks for reply, I have tried everything! with no success, I am not convinced CF9 can render html with IIS7.5 . In IIS7.5 I have configured the handler mapping for .html as the same as the handler mapping for .cfm, however I get the following error in screenshot below (have also put in handler mapping screenshot)  any ideas very much appreciated

thanks
