How to configure the WEB SERVICE EXTENSIONS and the FILE MAPPINGS using APPCMD?

This is for IIS 7 (x64) to handle CF8.01 (x64) on w2k8 server core (x64).

We can open CF Admin on port 8500, but not on port 80.

WSCONFIG throws a Java error when trying to configure the web connector and half-builds the wsconfig folder. Therefore, the need to do this manually.

We manually completed the wsconfig folder with dll's, ini's, etc.  and in the jrun.xml, changed 'deactivated' attribute from 'true' to 'false' with the port (51800) matching the appropriate lines of the files inside the wsconfig folder.

The commands we've been trying, resemble the code below. We're in w2k8 CORE, and do not have access to the GUI, so the use of APPCMD. The commands are modifications of ones we found to configure PHP (http://windowsmvp.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!80195647FE07388F!485.entry) and TomCat (http://forums.iis.net/t/1149623.aspx).

We want the whole server (machine) to be able to handle CF requests through IIS.

We can see the changes in "applicationHost.config", but no CF Admin page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

REM adds 'index.cfm' to default documents at server level
appcmd.exe set config /section:defaultDocument /enabled:true /+files.[value='index.cfm'] 
 
REM adds web service extension (first security, then isapi filter)
appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/security/isapiCgiRestriction /+"[path='%systemdrive%\Coldfusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll',allowed='True',groupId='Macromedia',description='Macromedia Server Extensions']"
appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/security/isapiCgiRestriction /+"[path='%systemdrive%\Coldfusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll',allowed='True',groupId='Macromedia',description='Macromedia Server Extensions']"
 
appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/isapiFilters /+"[name='Macromedia Server Extensions',path='%systemdrive%\Coldfusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll',preCondition='bitness32']"
REM the following needs a unique name
REM appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/isapiFilters /+"[name='Macromedia Server Extensions',path='%systemdrive%\Coldfusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll',preCondition='bitness32']"
 
REM add file mappings (needs a path to a dll, which one?)
appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/handlers /+[name='ISAPI-cfm',path='*.cfm',verb='*',modules='IsapiFilterModule',resourceType='File',requireAccess='Execute']
