Windows Server 2003 and Cold Fusion

[S_Allen]

Hello all,

Our webmaster recently retired, leaving me in charge of our intranet, which uses Cold Fusion. Now, I don't know much about CF, and our System Administrator just asked me if I had any problem with them running Cold Fusion 7 on a Windows Server 2003 box. It looks like they should be compatible, based on what I've read, but I wanted to know if anyone has experienced any pitfalls with this setup? I wanted an answer from someone "in the know" before I gave my folks bad info!

Thanks much!

They work fine on our machines. The only real issue is that overzealous
Windows 2003 security precautions can be a hassle during installation.
But this is well documented and easily worked around.

Thanks, Ian! That's all I needed to know. 🙂

I would say that this particular combination of CF/Windows Servier is among the most popular. No problems on our boxes for the last couple years.

Bear in mind that you will probably want to use a different JVM than the one bundled with CF7 to avoid an issue related to time zones.
