I'm trying to setup Coldfusion to work with IIS on my Windows 8 laptop. I have installed the ISAP filter and extensions along with the CGI extension but when I run the wsconfig and add the web server it then throws the error "Unable to configure IIS Connector". What can I try next? I've made sure they're all enabled in the IIS manager also.
The coldfusion 8 webserver configuration tool states that it is compatible until IIS 7. This is probably why it fails to add the handler mappings for IIS 8.
I found that by uninstalling coldfusion and re installing worked, that way in the setup it was able to identify what web servers were currently running and give me the option to configure coldfusion with IIS. Hope this helps someone else too

Thanks for help
First step: You need to turn on the 'role and features" in Windows control panel in order to add the IIS role/feature to windows 10. How to do it you can find here:
https://windowsjet.com/how-to-enable-iisinternet-information-services-in-windows-10-403/
Second step: Follow the instructions in the Lucee documentation with this video guide:
https://docs.lucee.org/guides/installing-lucee/windows/installing-lucee-on-windows-2019-with-installer-quick-video-guide.html
The above guide is about Windows Server 2019, but I've done it that way on Windows 10 also and it worked.
Does anyone have any experience with creating URL rewrites in Webmatrix? Because it uses IIS Express instead of IIS 7, there's nowhere for me to create these rules.
I am deploying to IIS 7 on my production server, so if I need to do any rewrites, I need to make them directly in production to test.
Is there any way I can switch to using IIS instead of IIS Express on my local machine?
I have tried a few things to get local IIS working, but to no avail.
You can install IIS on a Windows 7 or Windows 8 machine by going to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off. Make sure to install enough of the components to get a WebMatrix site working - ASP.NET & the management console for certain.
You can then create a virtual server for the directory your project is in and use the IIS management console to play around with URL rewriting. You may need to install the UrlRewrite module using the MS Web Platform Installer, available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx
If you need more help getting your local IIS working, give me some more information on how far you've got and I'll try and extend my answer.
Trying to move an EPI5 site from a server with IIS6 to a server with IIS7.5.
Having problems because of the configuration being set up for IIS6. Ive tried to follow instructions
http://world.episerver.com/en/Documentation/Items/Tech-Notes/EPiServer-CMS-5/EPiServer-CMS-5-R2-SP1/Changes-Between-IIS6-and-IIS7/#Changes in web.config
Does anyone have experience of following this guide or reconfiguring from IIS6 to IIS7.x?
What I've done in this situation (numerous times) is install a fresh (blank/demo) EPiServer 5 site on a server with IIS 7 and use those config files as a template when moving the real site from IIS 6 to IIS 7.
EPiServer 4 on Windows 2008 with IIS7 is not officially supported. You can get it to work though - one key is to run the application pool in Classic mode.
EDIT: You also need to turn on the pool's "32-bit" setting.
I am trying to learn ColdFusion and have installed the developer edition (CF10) on my Win7 computer and this brings up the localhost administrator page correctly but I have a test helloworld.cfm file in inetpub/wwwroot and when I try & access this with localhost/helloworld.cfm windows opens a dialogue box saying what program should open this .cfm file?
(in IIS Mime type there is none for .cfm & when I tried to add one it didn't work...).
Several posts on the internet say ensure IIS has CGI enabled and ISAPI Extensions
IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility which I have.
I'm not sure what is wrong here-can anyone advise me clearly & simply if I can view and use .cfm in IIS & how?
We know IIS is the problem because your administrator works, so CF is running correctly.
What I do is the following
create a site in IIS, just basic. no setting changes
install coldfusion 10
During install coldfusion will ask me if it has to configure all current IIS sites
if you let it do that, it should all work like a charm.
Did you do it like this?
I would uninstall and re-install as something must have gone wrong connecting IIS to COldFusion
CF10 does not require the IIS 6 compatibility. If you don't need that for any other web technology connections, then remove that. You do need CGI, .Net Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters. I believe the connector configurator for ColdFusion especially uses the .Net Extensibilty to "wire things up".
When I try opening a project I get an exception saying Web application is configured to use IIS.
Error : The Web Application Project EntityServices is configured to use IIS. To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components:
IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility
In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account.
NOTE - I have already installed IIS 7. My box is a x64 bit Windows 7 box.
Go to Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Features On or Off, and enable IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility.
Have you installed IIS6 Metabase support? It is a seperate install from IIS7, although in the same area.
Turn Windows Features ON and OFF -> IIS Services-> Web Management Tools -> IIS Management Compatibility and check IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration Compatibility
This also happened to me when I had reconfigured the TCP Port on IIS to port 81. I was running TCPTrace, capturing traffic on port 80 and forwarding it to IIS at port 81.
After a reboot, I had to reconfigure IIS' TCP Port to 80 and the problem was resolved.
I got the same error the solution is that you should open with notepad (web project)it's csproj file and remove this tag
<UseIIS>True</UseIIS>
you need to turn on asp.net :
controlpanel- Turn Windows Features ON and OFF -> IIS Services-> www- > application Dewvelopment features check the asp.net on
In my case (Same error)
i solved my problem with following steps.
1-)open your project file with a text editor.
2-)find "USEIIS" tag and replace its value with "False". save and exit.
3-)reopen your project file with visual studio
