We are testing our cf code (which all works fine on a CF9 Windows Server 2008 machine) for migration to a CF11 Windows 2012 R2 machine. We have a test machine setup and all the code moved over and so far the cfm pages seem to work fine as well as the Application.cfc page but when we call a cfc via AJAX or we visit the cfc methods directly we get an IIS 500.0 error Application could not be found. If I look in the application.log for CF all I see for the error is "Application could not be found. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: ""
Anybody else run into this?
We had the same problem. We upgraded the Java SE Runtime Environment to 1.8.0_91 from 1.8.0_66, restarted ColdFusion and it fixed the issue. Find your upgrade here:

Renshi, (or for others finding this in the future), is the request which is failing one where your URL referred to a folder off your webroot called /api?
If so, then the error you got is due to a change in CF11 (update 11) which effectively made/api a "reserved url" for CF, in support of the REST services feature added in CF11.
You can implement a workaround to the problem (assuming you don't intend to use CF's REST feature in ANY CF app) by commenting out the few lines that refer to the "/api" servlet-mapping in CF's web.xml file. For more details, see this blog post:

We recently did an update to 2016 for ColdFusion. After the update my application was not working. It shows Access Forbidden error. I checked the WS.config file to see if ColdFusion and IIS are connected. At that time I could see it was empty. When I tried to add it then it shows the error All the IIS sites are already configured by some other version of ColdFusion.
Can anyone please help me with this problem?
We got the error message All the IIS sites are already configured by some other version of ColdFusion. when switched to another Coldfusion version. We tried many of the solutions which didn't work out for us.
Finally, we uninstalled IIS windows feature entirely(we were able to do that since it was a dev machine) restarted as prompted, and installed IIS feature again which resolved the problem.
I just installed ColdFusion 2016 Developer Edition on my Windows 7 laptop and configured it to use the built-in web server. Previously I was using ColdFusion 11.
Now I have a case-sensitivity problem, but only for non-ColdFusion (.cfm) resources. For example, all css and js references are now case-sensitive, whereas they weren't when I was using ColdFusion 11. The same is true for calls to images and plain html files. All cfm files load just fine.
I modified the context.xml file (in the /cfusion/runtime/conf folder) to include <Context AllowLinking="true" caseSensitive="true"> (and yes, I also tried caseSensitive="false") and have restarted several times, but no luck yet.
The 404 error messages specify Apache Tomcat/8.5.11.
Any ideas on how to restore case-insensitivity? Thanks in advance for any help.
I seem to have "fixed" this. I enabled IIS on my laptop and used the Web Server Configuration tool to set it up with ColdFusion. (I also changed the path for the default website in IIS to /cfusion/wwwroot since that's where all my code is.) Everything seems to be working well now, with no case sensitivity for cfm or non-cfm pages. I no longer need to include the port (8500) in the URL for my applications, but do need to include it to reach the CF Administrator.
I'm troubleshooting a problem a client is having with their migration from CF9 to CF10. A webservice call that previously worked, no longer is working. When I call it from my CF10 server, I get this error:
C:...\cfusion\stubs\WS-853189522_2...\service.java:10: class, interface, or enum expected package ...;
The ellipses are to replace proprietary files paths and names.
Are there any known issues with CF10 that would interfere with a webservice call that worked previously? I did find some mention of possible issues with Axis 1 calls, and when I add the new cfinvoke attributes wsversion and refreshwsdl, I get a "Unable to read WSDL from URL: .../service.asmx?WSDL" error instead of the above error. I also changed the default ws version from 2 to 1 in the CF Administrator, with no change.
We had the same issue.
I think Adobe missed a trick by making Axis 2 the default in the ColdFusion Administrator with a new install. If they had made the default Axis 1 all would have worked fine.
I needed to install Coldfusion 8 on my local Windows 7 PC, to do some testing. I took the easy route and installed the Standalone server, which included a built in web server. I didn't really need a fully fledged web server, just needed to test.
So after some time of Coldfusion working fine. It started displaying the source code of the page. In other words, Coldfusion was not parsing the page. Merely displaying the source code.
I've worked out that the following line will make the page display source code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
Even if I remove this line from the source code, the source code is still displayed. So I have to make another .cfm file with all the code except the above line, for it to run.
My question is, how do I clear the Coldfusion Standalone Web Server's cache? I've tried the usual restarting of Coldfusion to no avail.
Update: I eventually used a workaround of just renaming the files ie: testing1.cfm, testing2.cfm. For anyone else getting this issue, just use a standalone web server like Apache.
Have you tried restarting ColdFusion?
Have you tried clearing the cache in your browser?
For what it is worth, I prefer to use a web server even when doing development. I have found that using the CF web server and having all my projects under the CF web root can lead to pathing issues in production.
Not sure if you have already fixed this issue but there is an option in the ColdFusion administrator under the Settings > Caching option. At the bottom is a button named Clear Template Cache Now. Clicking that button will empty (remove) any templates that ColdFusion has cached. The next request to that template will force ColdFusion to recompile it if it has been modified.
OK, the documentation says:
If you configure the folder containing FW/1 as a new web root and
browse to it, you'll see an introductory application.
So I created a new site in Windows Vista and pointed it to the Framework 1 bundle.
I've installed CF10, and am able to navigate to http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/
so I know that's working.
But when I navigate to http://localhost/, it gives me:
Error Summary
HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
Requested URL http://localhost:80/
Physical Path C:\inetpub\seancorfield-fw1-9e69741
And trying localhost:8500 goes to C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot
I wrote up a pretty detailed blog post here:
http://blog.bittersweetryan.com/2012/02/changing-webroot-of-coldfusion-zeus.html
It looks like you may not have updated your mapping to the WEB-INF and CFIDE folders.
If you installed it as the built in server then it will be 8500.
If you integrated into IIS then it will be port 80
You may just need to run the web connector tool, you will find it in the start menu.
If that doesnt work, you likely don't have the necessary bits of IIS installed.
