Hi,
I used to run WIndows XP SP3 with Coldfusion MX 7. All x86. Worked fine.
Recently I was looking at WHS 2011 or SBS 2011 but they really had nothing to offer. So I opted to upgrade my server to Win 7 Ult x64. This is because I want to take advantage of more memory.
I was told CF MX 7 would not work on 7, and CF 8 and beyond were much better performers.
I have a dozen PCs connecting to the server.
When I install IIS 7.5 it works fine. I can serve pages no problems.
I move the inetpub folder off the C: drive. The drive used is currently R:, so R:\inetpub\wwwroot. This works fine with IIS 7.5.
However, as soon as I install CF 9 x86 it all falls apart. I was originally getting 404.3 errors, but I somehow managed to fix (or break?) that. Now, as soon as I install CF9 I get 500.0 errors.
I made sure that I pointed it to the R:\inetpub\wwwroot folder.
Cannot serve an html page let alone a cfm page.
I cannot access the CF administrator.
So I installed update 1. Same problem.
I had installed IIS 7.5 with ISAPI filters and CGI and IIS 6 metabase compatability. I also tried various combinations of ASP, ASP.NET, .NET extensibility and so on. Nothing I've tried works.
Whilst the server is x64 I installed the x86 versions of the trial copies of CF9 and the update.
I checked the handlers and the CF extensions are present.
Can someone please help.
thanks
Tanya
