ColdFusion 8 server on xp prof box failed to connect with IIS web server

[Guest]

1. Installation Error (from the log file)
"Web Server Connector Configuration Error
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - JNDI port 2930 for server
coldfusion is not active
"
netstate -ab revealed that
this box has 4 copies of jrun running including one at port 2930.

2. IIS setting (probably version 5, the IIS Help tab does not even indicate its
version, funny with MS these days...),
Applications Mapping for .cfm is mapped to
{cf8InstallationDirectory}\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrunwin32.dll

3. When tested the cf8 installation, it generated err msg:
"The specified procedure could not be found."

4. The Web Server Configuration Tool that comes with cf8 is not helpful.

Have I missed something obvious? Searching this site produced
some threads on cf8 installation problem but none is CLEAR as to a clean
resolution. If you know what's going on and its solution please advise.

Thank you.

You may be running into an IIS 5 bug:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216493

It drove me nuts for more than 5 hours! XP Pro uses IIS 5.1 and if you try to to a POST to a URL that ends with a "/" (no page indicated), then it won't work. We do that in our system and let the default page (index.cfm) be picked up.

The issue was fixed in IIS 6, but you can't run that on XP. The only solution I found was to uninstall IIS and install Apache, which has worked great. Not only is Apache light, but I can run mulitple Web sites with it (IIS on XP limits you to 1).

I hope that helps.

my cf8 addition of all the pieces had been completed yesterday. What you described does not seem to be a problem for me, try, http://www.mytata.net/
