500 Internal Server Error on server that is running Windows 2012 R2 and IIS 8.5

[jamie61880]

Hi. We have a new server. On our old server, I used to get all the debugging info. from Cold Fusion on my computer if something was wrong with a Cold Fusion page. Now with the new server, all I get is a 500 internal server error. Is this because something is not set up correctly on the server and the debugging info. from Cold Fusion is not able to display? Does anyone know what I need to do to get the Cold Fusion Debugging info. to display? Below is what we all currently have:

Our new server is running Windows Server 2012 R2 and IIS 8.5

ColdFusion 11 Standard

SQLEXPRESS 2008

Thank you.

What is "Enable HTTP status codes" set to (checked/unchecked) in the Settings page of CF Administrator?  Also, do you have Enable Robust Exception Handling turned on (Debugging & Logging --> Debug Output Settings in CF Administrator)?

Carl,

    The "Enable HTTP status codes" is checked. Should this not be checked? I do have the Enable Robust Exception Handling checked. Should this stay checked?

I have both settings turned on for my development environment, and it works for me. How about your IIS settings: do you have detailed error messages enabled for local and remote requests?

Carl,

     Thank you! Our IT person changed the iis settings and I'm seeing the error messages now like I used to on our old server. Thanks again.
