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!

Setting up a coldfusion testing server in IIS

Asked by gabrielPennyback in ColdFusion Application Server, Microsoft IIS Web Server, Adobe Dreamweaver

Tags: Coldfusion, IIS

I'm trying to set up a cold fusion server on my local machine with no luck yet.  I'm setting it up in Dreamweaver.  I've tried two obvious root folders and both give me an error message when I preview:
     C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\     (This site is namedColdFusion)
     C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\     (This site is namedColdFusion2)
When I preview from  ColdFusion I get a different error than when I preview from ColdFusion2. I'm reprinting them below, ib case this helps you troubleshoot my problem.

Thanks,
John

COLDFUSION SITE #1 ERROR
This is what shows in the URL: http://localhost/cfide/timetest.cfm
Server Error in Application "Default Web Site"
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) map policy that is configured on the Web server. The page you requested has a file name extension that is not recognized, and is not allowed.

Error Code: 0x80070032

Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler

Module: StaticFileModule

Requested URL: http://localhost:80/cfide/timetest.cfm

Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide\timetest.cfm

Logon User: Anonymous

Logon Method: Anonymous

Handler: StaticFile

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.)

What you can try:

    * In system.webServer/handlers:
    * Ensure that the expected handler for the current page is mapped.
    * Pay careful attention to preconditions (e.g. runtimeVersion, pipelineMode, bitness) and compare them to the settings for your application pool.
    * Pay careful 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. Open a command prompt and change directory to %windir%\system32\inetsrv.
         2. To set a MIME type, use the following syntax: appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='string',mimeType='string']
         3. The variable fileExtension string is the file name extension and the variable mimeType string is the file type description.
         4. For example, to add a MIME map for a file which has the extension ".xyz", type the following at the command prompt, and then press Enter:
         5. 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.
    * 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.

More Information... This 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.
Server Version Information: Internet Information Services 7.0.

COLDFUSION SITE #2 ERROR (ColdFusion2)
This is what shows in the URL: http://localhost/timetest.cfm
Server Error in Application "Default Web Site"
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

Description: The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Error Code: 0x80070002

Notification: MapRequestHandler

Module: IIS Web Core

Requested URL: http://localhost:80/timetest.cfm

Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\timetest.cfm

Logon User: Anonymous

Logon Method: Anonymous

Handler: StaticFile

Most likely causes:

    * The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
    * The URL contains a typographical error.
    * A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.

What you can try:

    * Create the content on the Web server.
    * Review the browser URL.
    * Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code and see which module is calling SetStatus. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.

More Information... This error means that the file or directory does not exist on the server. Create the file or directory and try the request again.
Server Version Information: Internet Information Services 7.0.
