Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server, R2 Sandard, IIS server: application, macromedia, unreachable, 2003, server

Please check it the path you are using for DLL ie., 'C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll" is correct. Verify that application mappings .htm or .html pointing to right DLL.
Verify that each of your IIS websites has a virtual directory called JRunScripts.
Verify that the JRunScripts directory in each of your IIS websites points to the correct location, as follows:

1. Right-click the JRunScripts directory and select Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog box, on the Virtual Directories tab, verify that the Local Path text box contains the following path:
path/wsconfig/number (typically 1)

Hmm. I think I got most of that, except for the last line, "path/wsconfig/number (typically 1)"

There are no virtual directory called "JRunScripts".

I can create one but what kind of virtual directory should this be, Virtual Director or Virtual Directory from file?

The path is correct, that is, if it should be: C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll.

Now, about "path/wsconfig/number (typically 1)". The only path I find which has a directory named wsconfig is C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\. If that's where the Virtual directory should be pointed, I can do it but what is the number? Should it "typically" look like this:

C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\number1 or
C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\

Or am I still missing something?

Okay, I see what you mean. I looked at the C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\ directory and see the only other directory under is is /1

Not sure why the virtual directory is needed but did it anyway. I verified that the Local Path text box does include "C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\1".

So, does this mean rule out your ideas?

If so, would creating the home directories for each domain in C:\SITES\ cause the problem? I mean, that is where all my websites are pointing, to a folder off that directory.

I guess the big question though, is, "Does Coldfuion 8 still support mapping .htm files to coldfusion? I sure hope so or I have big problems. I can't change the name from .htm to .cfm because that would defeat our positions in the search engines. I really need to know this one for sure, and whomever answers this for sure, regadless of finding the answer will receive or share the points.

Any other ideas or am missing something?

I'd like to close this question if no one else has an answer. But I'll wait to see if anyone can tell me for certain, one way or the other, if IIS6 supports mapping .htm to Coldfusion 8, and how to do it. The suggestions above are all in place and the error persists.

No solution here on EE so I found one elsewhere and thought Id share it for anyone having the same problem:
-------------------
Use the same settings for .cfm path in the IIS Configuration to
include .htm files.

Edit this file:
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\web.xml
Modify and insert at the end of the other mappings:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Step 2:
Then open a command window (Run, cmd)
navigate to: C:\Jrun4\bin

enter this line exactly:

.\wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws IIS -site 0 -coldfusion -map
".htm,.html" -v

Restart the webserver.
Restart Coldfusion

Here's a more detailed solution to get .htm files to be mapped as Coldfusion files on Coldfusion 8 enterprise, multiple server installation:

Configuration Steps
1.      Install the ColdFusion 8 Application Server in standalone mode. Do not attach the ColdFusion installation to a web server at this time. Use the built-in web server option. The installation directory for our purpose was C:\ColdFusion8. This path will be referred to as <cfroot> for the remainder of this document.
2.      Configure the Default Web Site in IIS (or a new web server instance), setting the appropriate access levels. Generally this will be anonymous access, read access and no script source access. In certain cases, depending on the use of the application, write access may also need to be granted. In most ColdFusion applications, the Windows user account that the ColdFusion service runs on will have NTFS write access granted to the web root, which will suffice when using <cffile> to write files to the server. The best security practice is to deny all possible access, and open allow access as needed until the application functions as expected.
3.      Open Windows Explorer and navigate to <cfroot>\runtime\bin. Run wsconfig.exe. This will open the Web Server Configuration tool.
a.      Click Add.
b.      Select CFusion (or ColdFusion depending on the installation package) under the JRun Server option list.
c.      Select IIS under the Web Server option list.
d.      Select Default Web Site under the IIS Web Site option list.
e.      Check the box marked Configure web server for ColdFusion&
f.      Click Ok and allow the web server to be restarted to finish the configuration.
4.      Open the IIS Manager in Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
a.      Right-click on Default Web Site and select Properties.
b.      Navigate to the Home Directory tab.
c.      Click Configuration.
d.      Under Application Extensions, edit the .cfm application extension.
e.      Copy the path in the Executable text box.
f.      Click Cancel.
g.      Back on the Mappings tab, click Add.
h.      Paste the path copied in 4.e. into the Executable text box.
i.      Enter .htm (without quotes) into the Extension text box.
j.      Click Ok.
k.      Click Ok.
l.      Click Ok.
m.      Close the IIS Manager.
5.      In Windows Explorer, navigate to <cfroot>\wwwroot\WEB-INF and edit the web.xml file.
a.      Find the last <servlet-mapping> instance.
b.      Add the following Text
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

c.      Save and close web.xml
6.      Open the Services control Panel
a.      Stop and restart the ColdFusion 8 Application Server.
b.      Stop and restart the Web Wide Web Publishing Service.

End.
