Can't complete CFMX 7 installation on IIS

[robinsf]

I cannot get CFMX 7 to work after installation. I'm running:

Windows XP Pro
IIS 5.1

Before installing I turned of my anti-virus program (Mcaffee) and completely removed my old version of ColdFusion MX 6.1.

During installation I selected:
- server configuration
- install all subcomponents
- install directory c:\CFusionMX7
- configure web server for all IIS websites
- admin location: c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot

At the end of the installation I get the following message:
1. Consult the Installation Guide on how to manually configure the web
server connector.
2. Ensure any firewall software blocking port 51011 is disabled.
3. Ensure the Coldfusion service is started.
4. Manually configure your web server connectors.
5. Confirm your web server and websites are started, and
6. Continue your installation by logging into the Configuration Wizard at

http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm.

I am not running a firewall, Coldfusion service is running and my web server is running but the server does not recognize any .cfm files. I ran Web Server Configuration Tool, selected "Add" and got the following message:

Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion MX servers on host localhost.
Possible Causes:
* Server not running
- Start Macromedia JRun4 of ColdFusion MX server.
* Server running:
- JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filteringor

firewall on server.
- host restriction in security.properties blocking communication with server..

I also tried running wsconfig.exe from the command line and got the same result.

Help -- Can anyone please tell me how to get this installation working?


thanks,

uninstall service pack 2

Thanks for the response. Are you sure about removing Service Pack 2? If so, is it just a matter of going to "Add or Remove Programs" and removing SP2?

thanks,

i had the same issue. i didn't know it was service pack 2, so i reinstall everything and it works just fine now. before you do it, can you try installing cf with built in server to see it works or not ?
you can remove service pack 2 under add/remove programs

hope it helps

I installed CFMX7 using the built-in server and it works. I would like to you IIS.

I'm going to try and set the mappings in Internet Information Services located at
Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services >> Default Web Site >> Properties (right-click) >> Home Directory Tab >> Configuration tab >> Mappings tab.

Can anyone tell me Extensions, Executable Paths and the Verbs?

thanks

uninstall service pack 2

...at your own risk.

it may be in "add/remove programs" but that doesn't mean it'll remove that easily. Keep in mind it's now part of the OS. I know a few people that have tried to do just that and it destroyed the FAT. Make good backups before you try that...

If you don't ask the right questions, you don't get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the ABC of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems.
