CF 5 Web Servers

[Rick_Waugh]

Trying to get CF 5 to run on my XP pro laptop. IIS 5.1 is supposedly supported, and the install recognizes it, but when I try to open a cfm file, it does not get interpreted as coldfusion file - it's interpreted as though it's hmtl, and the cf tags are just text. I can't find much info on this, whether it's supposed to work, or what other choices I have for web servers at this point.

When the coldfusion code is showing is usually a sign that the web
server is not properly configured to pass on the request to the
application server.


Going on very old info here, but with that generation you need to
configure the ColdFusion extensions (cfm) to be passed on to the
ColdFusion dll in the IIS settings for the website.

If the installer did not do this automatically, it can be done manually.
I don't have the specifics for this. But I think if you dig into the
documentation, adobe tech notes and google you should find step by step
for manually configuring CF and IIS instructions.
