ColdFusion installation issue

I set up a new installation of Windows 2003 Enterprise, [ IIS 6.0 ]and then installed CFMX 6.1. I an not using Active Directory. After going through the install chores, the installer notifies you that the installation was successful and that CFMX administrator will then open in the browser to complete the installation. This is where I ran into a problem  When IE opens up and tries to open the CFMX administrator page, it reports "SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE" All files seem to be in the right place, and the ISAPI configuration appears to be set up by the installer correctly.  all the settings shown in the exhibit of Dave Watts paper on the Macromedia site appear to be in place. Anyone have a clue as what I need to do to get this installation completed?

for some reason the CF Application Service was not restarted on mine, I had to restart it and all was fine.

Been there done that - all services running - install log files show no errors and still no joy but thanks for the reply.

Have you tried re-starting the World-wide web services from the IIS module? Not from the services, but the IIS module?

Did you install CFMX as a standalone server, or on top of JRun? What happens if you just try to run your own CFM page?

Hi Dave; That is all the page says.  Since Admin will not run, the scripts required to complete the install have also not yet run.  Consequently CFM pages will not run either The install log shows no errors - all stopped services are restarted as they should be. The install was NOT a standalone but on IIS/JRUN   > This is where I ran into a problem  When IE opens up and   > tries to open the CFMX administrator page, it reports   > "SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE"   Is this all the page says?

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- I would recommend that you enable the JRun web server, then finish the installation process using that. Then, run the web server configuration tool, remove the existing configuration, and recreate it. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ phone: 202-797-5496 fax: 202-797-5444

I know how to do the WSCONFIG but how do I "enable the Jrun server?"   > That is all the page says.  Since Admin will not run, the   > scripts required to complete the install have also not yet   > run.  Consequently CFM pages will not run either   >   > The install log shows no errors - all stopped services are   > restarted as they should be.   >   > The install was NOT a standalone but on IIS/JRUN   I would recommend that you enable the JRun web server, then finish the   installation process using that.
