The specified module could not be found. Help!

Howdy!

I have CF6 running on WIN2K Server
I checked services and its running

I tried to open a site I'm working on
and I got the message

The specified module could not be found.

My guess is that CF Server is not responding
to the .cfm or CF Server is not "truly" alive
(dead deamon). I hate speculatring, the truth
is that I have no idea what this means and that
is why I'm posting ... in hope to find some direction
where I can go and fix this thing.

Thank you all in advance!

I am guessing that you have upgraded from CF 4. We had the same problem if memory serves!

What we did was, when we uninstalled CF 4, it didn't remove the app mappings from IIS. So when we installed MX, it didn't replace these enteries, and added new ones. So, IIS was being told to process .cfm extensions against c:\cfusion\bin\whatever.... when that directory no longer existed!!!.

What you need to do is:

1. Open IIS, right click on your server name from the list and select properties.
2. Under the master properties frame, click the edit button, then click on the "Home Directory" tab.
3. Under "App Mappings" look for the .cfm extension in the list. Anyone that is pointing at CFUSION remove it, and check that there is an occurance of .cfm pointing at CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll

Now try executing your page again, that should have fixed it

Hope this helps!

Tony,

Thank you so very much for your reply. You pointed me in the right direction and I am now accessing my site.

I noticed though, that all COLFUSION directories from old version were there. I went on a cleaning rampage and removeD CFMX. I then restarted computer and cleared all registry entries for coldfusion. I removed all directories I was able to associate to coldfusion.

I resinstalled CFMX. I then removed the entries from IIS for .dbm, .cfm, .cfml and anything that said Coldfusion. I then added .cfm and .dbm pointing to CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll (as per your suggestion) - Restarted my computer and oops there it is!

TWO ROBLEMS:
(1)
If I do not include default.cfm within URL, it does not start - I get the "Page cannot be displayed". I checked my IIS and default.cfm is set as default page. Any idea what may this be?

(2)
As I explore using explorer, my CFM files do not show any association to CFMX - If I double click on one of them, it opens in notepad text editor not IE. What's up with this?

I went back to my "regedit" and noticed that CLASS entries are missing for these extensions. :-( How do I add them back? I thought that installing CFMX would add them back in.

Jose,

1) Not sure whats going on with that. If default.cfm is in the documents listings for the site you are trying to access then it should display the page in the browser. Make sure that its in the specific site, that you are trying to access, and not just in the overall server setting!

2) This is normal behaviour for a CFM extension. You would normally associate a cfm page with notpad or something like dreamweaver to edit the page. Associating it with the MX Server is what we have done in IIS already.

Hope this helps!

Hey goto IIS open up the properties section and click on the documents tab. Enter default.cfm and then you can set its priority by moving it up or down. As for IE try to right click and open in browser I am not sure if it works - never tried : ).

Hello guys!

I already have default.cfm as the *ONLY* document
withint IIS under mysite.com properties.

I must to mess something up some where while trying
to get CFMX to work as I also messed around IIS trying to
figure out what was going on.

Thanks;
