Unable to invoke URL

[iq11]

Hello,

I have installed using ColdFusion Mx on IIS6 on Windows 2012

All are on the same server.

When I go to the home page using the URL  http://localhost/cfide/administrator/

I get an error message, Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue ?

I have tried all options I could try by changing the Module in handler but nothing seems to work.

ThanksIQ

HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error

Handler "cfmHandler" has a bad module "BasicAuthenticationModule" in its module list

Most likely causes:

• Managed handler is used; however, ASP.NET is not installed or is not installed completely.
• There is a typographical error in the configuration for the handler module list.
• During application initialization, either the application initialization feature has set skipManagedModules to true, or a rewrite rule is setting a URL that maps to a managed handler and is also setting SKIP_MANAGED_MODULES=1.

What version of ColdFusion are you trying to install? You mention ColdFusion MX, which implies something around version 6 through 9. Those won't work with Windows Server 2012's IIS integration.

Thanks Dave, this saves us a lot of time as we were banging our heads on a dead end if this version does not work with Windows Server 2012. Which version is compatible with Windows server 2012 ?

The latest version of CF available is CF 2018. That is compatible with Windows Server 2012. So are the last few versions: CF 2016 and CF 11. CF 10 is probably compatible, but is no longer supported by Adobe and I wouldn't recommend using it. You can search for "adobe coldfusion support matrix" to find out whether the latest version supports a specific OS or database, and you can probably find out the same things for older versions.
