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).

I'm trying to convert web sites from Adobe ColdFusion (ACF) to the open source Lucee instead.
My issue is to make sure all my previous ACF work runs without error in Lucee before I upload it to the web. I have been able to install Lucee (v5.3.8.201) with Tomcat9, BonCodeAJP13 and Mod_CFML which I've been assured is what I need to have it all working together so I can test my sites (11 of them at the moment).
However I have some problems that I can't seem to find an answer to. The docs don't cover using a PC as a dev machine if it has multiple web sites on it. And IIS is the old version that's still used in Windows Server not Windows 10.
How do I get to the Lucee administrator What's the address for that? I need that to set up datasources for my sites of they're going to fail on the very first page.
How do I actually make sites defined in IIS10 work through Lucee? I have run the connector and TomCat is running, but the browser doesn't recognise any Lucee pages except the initial "Welcome to Lucee" page.
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 originally installed ColdFusion 11 in a local environment (windows 7) and selected "Use built in web server". Everything was working pretty good. Now months later, I realize I need to use a real web server for URL rewrites (Apache, IIS, etc) but there is no documentation I can find on how to do so.
I have attempted looking through the administrator's panel for any information, but couldn't even get a jumping off point. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
First, it sounds like you need to decide which web server you want/need to use and that could be determined by where you'll end up hosting your site. CF code is quite portable but if you're doing URL rewrites, file system access, etc... then you need to code those to match the production environment, otherwise you might find yourself having to rewrite and retest all that again.
As commented above, a lot of information about configuring CF for web servers is available by searching. You'll first need to install & configure your web server, so search around that first. Then you'll need to configure the web server to understand which requests to pass to ColdFusion's engine.
If it's IIS then you need to make sure IIS is installed and the following components are installed: ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters, CGI, ASP .NET
Then configure an IIS site to point to your CF code and after that use the "Web Server Configuration Tool" application (installed with CF) that will associate the relevant file types with ColdFusion.
Most of the time it's as simple as that.
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 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.
