Trying to install CF10

[ctreeves]

I am trying to install CF10 on a virtual server.

The server is a Windows 8 R2 with Service Pack 1 installed.  Dual 2.53 GHz with 6144MB of RAM.  The server has IIS7 installed.

I got most of the way through and got this error.

There is one website installed on the server.

I am now a programer, server administrator nor a web developer.  I'm just a guy in our department not afraid to try and tackle a wbesite. 

Could you please let me know (in layman's terms) what I need to do to get CF installed?

Thank you!

Hi ctreeves,

Please ensure all of these IIS features are enabled:

• ASP.NET
• CGI
• ISAPI Extensions
• ISAPI Filters

The above options can be installed, by following the steps mentioned under Installing IIS Features on Windows 7 at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh167503(v=nav.70).aspx

Regards,

Anit Kumar

Thank you, when I read that article, it looks like those are already enabled.  I'll have to work with our IS department to try and figure this out.

This is very challenging for me because they don't support CF here so I feel I have no where to turn.

I appreciate your assistance.

use the microsoft Web Platform installer and install the "IIS recommended configuration".

Thanks for the suggestion Russ, but while I have control over most of the server settings, I can't edit IIS.  This is a large hospital and we lock things down pretty tight here.

The role for the CGI feature was missing.  My IT added it and I was able to install CF!

Thank you
