Post CF9 installation error running cfadmin

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

What OS and web server are you using?  Sounds like the installer didn't complete properly (or at least didn't completely set up the web server integration).

Yes, the server is .

• Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64Bit
• SQL Server R2 SP2 Web

CF console does not start.

The install file was downloaded from Adobe yesterday, ColdFusion_9_WWEJ_win64.

Windows Server Version 6.1 build 7601: Service Pack 1

IIS Version 7.5.7600.16385

[Carl Von Stetten]

Did you run the installer under the Administrator login, and did you "Run As Administrator" when running the installer?

By "CF console does not start" do you mean you can't start ColdFusion by running the cfstart.bat file (in \ColdFusion9\bin)?  If so, it sounds like the whole installation didn't complete properly.  I'd uninstall and reinstall again, and I'd make sure to login to Windows as Administrator and launch the installer using "Run As Administrator".

sorry, what I mean is that I get a 404.3 Not Found error when I try to run http://localhost:80/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

[Carl Von Stetten]

When you ran the installer, did you choose to install the web server connectors to IIS?  It sounds like either you didn't or it didn't complete properly.  You can re-run the Web Server Connector Tool from the ColdFusion program group on the Start menu (make sure to "Run As Administrator").  If the connector was at least partially installed, you will see IIS listed under Configured Web Servers.  If it's there already, remove it and close and restart the Web Server Connector Tool.  Then click Add... and connect IIS.  You can either connect all IIS websites, or each one individually.

I should add that if you didn't install the web server connector, then you would get to the CF Administrator using the built-in server using this address: http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm.  Note the port number for the built-in server is usually 8500.
