The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ColdFusion 8 Install for Vista SP1 Broken

Asked by Plucka in ColdFusion Application Server

I have had several people try this now, and CF8 will not install on Vista using IIS any more.

Below is what you get, I could probably manually hack lots of IIS settings and get it working, but since there is nothing on the NET on this, I would like to know why. I have some theories.

1.      Something has changed with 8.01
2.      Something has changes with Vista SP1
3.      This is due to having previously had Built In Server 8500 installed.

I think most likely 2, or 1. Can anyone else verify if they have tried to install CF8.01 on Vista SP1.

I have done this previously on Vista without issues, so something has changed.

Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE"
Internet Information Services 7.0
Error Summary
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
Detailed Error Information
Module      StaticFileModule
Notification      ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler      StaticFile
Error Code      0x80070032
Requested URL      http://127.0.0.1:80/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

Physical Path      C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\index.cfm
Logon Method      Anonymous
Logon User      Anonymous
            
Most likely causes:
"      It is possible that a handler mapping is missing. By default, the static file handler processes all content.
"      The feature you are trying to use may not be installed.
"      The appropriate MIME map is not enabled for the Web site or application. (Warning: Do not create a MIME map for content that users should not download, such as .ASPX pages or .config files.)
"      If ASP.NET is not installed.
Things you can try:
"      In system.webServer/handlers:
o      Ensure that the expected handler for the current page is mapped.
o      Pay extra attention to preconditions (for example, runtimeVersion, pipelineMode, bitness) and compare them to the settings for your application pool.
o      Pay extra attention to typographical errors in the expected handler line.
"      Please verify that the feature you are trying to use is installed.
"      Verify that the MIME map is enabled or add the MIME map for the Web site using the command-line tool appcmd.exe.
1.      To set a MIME type, use the following syntax: %SystemRoot%\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='string',mimeType='string']
2.      The variable fileExtension string is the file name extension and the variable mimeType string is the file type description.
3.      For example, to add a MIME map for a file which has the extension ".xyz": appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='.xyz',mimeType='text/plain']
Warning: Ensure that this MIME mapping is needed for your Web server before adding it to the list. Configuration files such as .CONFIG or dynamic scripting pages such as .ASP or .ASPX, should not be downloaded directly and should always be processed through a handler. Other files such as database files or those used to store configuration, like .XML or .MDF, are sometimes used to store configuration information. Determine if clients can download these file types before enabling them.
"      Install ASP.NET.
"      Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
Links and More InformationThis error occurs when the file extension of the requested URL is for a MIME type that is not configured on the server. You can add a MIME type for the file extension for files that are not dynamic scripting pages, database, or configuration files. Process those file types using a handler. You should not allows direct downloads of dynamic scripting pages, database or configuration files.
