I am currently setting up a development machine at my company and I would like to be able to set up a few local sites on this one machine for testing. In order to do so, I am running the following software:
ColdFusion Server 10 (Developer's Edition)
IIS
Everything is installed and I am able to run the default site (from localhost) but I can't figure out, nor can I find how I can set up other sites on this system. I have the files for each site on the local machine. Ideally, I would like to be able to call up each site using a subdomain, such as (http://site1.domain.com, http://site2.domain.com, http://site3.domain.com) where each one points to a separate file base on the local machine.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Create the sites in IIS for each site, pointing to its respective web root. Then run the web server configuration tool to hook up the connectors for the sites.
You can find that under {ColdFusion root}/cfusion/runtime/bin/wsconfig.exe (on windows - not sure of the file extension on non-windows machines)
From there you can run the connector for each individual site or you can set it to run the connector for every site.

I recently configured and hardened an installation of ColdFusion 2016 + IIS 8 in preparation for a upgrade from CF9. I was able to load all of our web, configure our data sources, and get everything pointed in the right direction. I was able to test that this server was working as expected so we created an image of this machine and loaded it onto another server. We put the cloned machine on it's own IP and gave it it's own domain name in IIS. So here's the problem, the ColdFusion admin pages doesn't work. It works on the original machine, and most of our web apps work on the cloned machine. There are some web apps acting up on the clone machine, but I believe I can solve that issue if I could just get to the CF Administrator page. Currently when we try to reach it at thissite.xyz:8500/CFIDE/administrator we get a blank white page. I created a virtual directory for it in IIS and get the same results.
I have Microsoft Windows server 2008 R2 and have the IIS 7 running.
I have coded a web application on a seperate laptop and would like to publish it now on my server (serves as AD, DNS, File Server, IIS) that runs locally and has no external access. We will be using the application internally only.
I have followed the steps to install a website on IIS, however, it does not work. Below are the steps I have done.
Created a folder hierarchy and pasted the code files there. (check below image. The code files are inside wwwroot)
Create a new website from the IIS Manager as the below image.
The wwwroot folder has SYSTEM permission and it inherits the permissions from the parent. (Does it need to have other permissions?!?)
Whenever I visit the website, I get an error that the page is not found.
UPDATE
Upon #Ravi A's answer below, I have tried his steps as the below image, but the username is not found and the error persists.
Any ideas what is wrong?

You need to add a binding in your DNS i.e. ping mysite.local should resolve to the server IP, in your case since it's a intranet it should resolve to 192.168.1.253.
See here on how to do it. You need access to DNS Manager.
Also since you are not clear on DNS mapping leave the hostname empty and use machine name or IP to browse the site.
I am in a situation where the current web server is a production environment and there is no development environment. It is running Joomla on an IIS Web Server and is an Intranet site with all of the security, IP restrictions, Certificates, and whatever else required to run an enterprise level Intranet site.
I am wondering what I can do to set up a development environment to work within (preferably using some type of version control).
I have full reign over the IIS server, and I have had a co-worker set up a VM clone of the current system to work with, however the security is making it difficult to work with and set up.
I would like to not use Visual Studio as I don't believe I have a license for it; however I can get it if need be. I would like to stick with Notepad++ if at all possible.
Thank you.
If you're wanting to literally take the site content out and be able to edit and work without any of the security restrictions of the production environment, there's a couple of ways you could do it. However, it's going to depend on what DB the system is running with.
Joomla, regardless of what web platform it is running on, is coded in PHP, so you don't have to worry about getting visual studio. You can use Notepad++ as normal.
Option 1 - IIS Clone
If you can take a SQL backup of the database, you build a from-scratch box with IIS. You'd need to add the PHP drivers to IIS to do this. Go to Microsoft's site for more info:
PHP for IIS
Option 2 - Apache Port
You can make an Apache box using WAMP to run, if you're using a Windows machine. PHP is PHP, on any platform, so it should work without modification.
The tricky bit will be the database, depending on your situation. If the database is MySQL, you can import your database backup and be good to go, after changing the config files for the Joomla site.
If the site used MSSQL, it's a little trickier. You'll need to install an MSSQL PHP plugin to get this medthod to work. There's plenty of instructions online on how to do this, it's a case of finding the right one for your implementation.
I'm trying to install SAP Content Server 6.40 onto a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine.
I've read through several installation manuals and how-tos on the web. But can't seem to get it running.
The installation SAP is pretty straightforward. You have to choose SAP NetWeaver 7 element in the installation packages tree, then Standalone Engines -> Content Server -> content Server and or Cache Server. From thereon there you follow the instructions and the installation completes successfully.
The next step to follow is to check whether the server is running via
http:\\<servername>:1090\ContentServer\ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
The Content Server version should be displayed, but it is not.
I tried it with the actual domain, with localhost and the loopback address(es) (127.0.0.[n]) from within the VM.
Before the installation I did set up the IIS (http server). I tried it with configuring the running IIS (i. e. creating a site and pointing it to the Content Server directory - although it is aparently not needed as per the manuals I've read) and without.
QUESTION
What could be the causes resonsible for the issue I'm facing. Why are the Content Server DLLs not reacting to access per http?
One has to allow the ContentServer.dll to be executed.
To do so visit the ISAPI and CGI Restrictions, there you have to
add the aforementioned dll.
You have to install certain Role Services for IIS first (in Application Development).
Till date, I was thinking that we always create/host web-site in IIS.
But I was going through powershell tutorial today which says it is different to create web-site and a web application.
This is the tutorial link (check different section on creating web site and application) -
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/433/powershell-snap-in-creating-web-sites-web-applications-virtual-directories-and-application-pools/
Can please guide what is the difference between the two.
Any example will be really helpful.
Thank you!
A web site in IIS is the top level under Sites. The default one that is normally automatically created for you when installing IIS is named "Default Web Site".
This is the "root" that runs on port 80.
Under that, you can create virtual directories, which is basically sub-levels under the root web site, or you can create separate web applications that lives as separate applications under the root level.
A web application must live under a web site.
It is possible to create other web sites that can either be set up to run on other ports (i.e. 81), or to be named with a different host name which enables multiple sites to run on same port number. If named with a different host name, this name must be registered in a DNS server somewere to point to the IP address for your server. A workaround is also to to add it as an entry in the hosts file on the client computer that should access it.
This is example on how it looks in IIS Manager:
I have a script I use when creating a website and AppPool in IIS 7+, .net4, Integrated pipeline and thought you might find it useful.
Use it as so:
CreateSite.ps1 [WebsiteName] [AppPoolName] [Port] [Path]
If you are reinstalling the site, you will need to Stop it first. That is done as so:
StopSite.ps1 [WebsiteName] [AppPoolName]
you can grab the scripts from my gist
Update I have added/extended the scripts and put them in their own Github repository
Here is my CreateWebsite PowerShell script: http://www.zerrouki.com/create-website/
