I am attempting to setup a custom 404 error with CF10 and IIS 7.5. Previous to CF10 (and IIS 7), you can get the URL of the non-existent page via the querystring (e.g., 404;http://www.example.com/some/file.html) when the custom 404 page is processed. However, with CF10 and IIS 7.5, the querystring returns 404;http://www.example.com/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll. Is there a way to retrieve the actual URL of the missing path, like in prior versions?
I have a workaround that I posted to the page Miguel-F commented on:
ColdFusion 10 + IIS: Non-existant URLs that are CFM files. Retrieving original URL after executing 404 page
It's not pretty but it works...
Problems with custom 404 error pages and IIS 7.5 were addressed in the latest CF10 update - Update 11. You have to re-run the web server connector once you install the update. If you do not re-run the web server connector, then the IIS/custom 404 error pages problem will not be fixed. This is the official blog post regarding Update 11 and the web server connector. The fixes introduced in Update 11 may solve your problem.

Dear StackOverflow community, your help would be greatly appreciated.
I have zero experience with IIS. Unfortunately, a Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8.5 is all I can get for the current project. I followed this post by Matt Woodward to get my Django app running on IIS. I serve static files by means of an application that references the static folder. The app looks the way it is supposed to look and all GET requests are processed properly. However, the response to all POST requests (on localhost and remotely) is Status 500 Server Error. If I run my Django app with the runserver command, the POST requests are processed properly.
POST is NOT blocked in IIS Request Filtering -> HTTP Verbs. POST requests are sent to URLs like http:/site_title/update_plan/, not to html. The StackOverflow posts found here and here were not helpful.
I suspect the problem is in the IIS settings, but maybe some special Django settings are required and I am missing it. Any ideas on what can be done to fix the problem would be of great help. Thanks!
I just installed ColdFusion 11 on a Windows 2008 server. After installation, I got the message to proceed with configuration using the link
http://foo.com:80/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
where foo.com is 127.0.0.1
However, it keeps rejecting the userid and password I provided during installation for administrator.
Any help is highly appreciated.
This blog entry should help you: Troubleshooting ColdFusion Admin Login Issues.
You can also try the following quick workarounds:
Try an alternate browser (issue primarily occurs with IE).
Try alternative address
http://127.0.0.1:port_no/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm or
http://localhost:port_no/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm or
http://ip:port_no/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm.
Try the passwordreset.bat and then try with the same ip or loopbak ip
address.
Enable internal/built port for ColdFusion and then try
http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm, where 8500 is
the internal port for ColdFusion.
Note: Enabling internal/built port would require a ColdFusion Application Server restart.

The issue is happening because of mime type (.air) entry specified in the web.config of the webroot.
Can you try the following steps:-
Navigate to the webroot of your site.
Take a backup of web.config and open it with text editor (notepad etc)
Comment the entry for mimeType extension of ".air" like <!--<mimeMap fileExtension=".air"
mimeType="application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip"
/>-->
Save the file and restart IIS.
Launch CF Admin and try to login.
Commenting out the .air type in site specific web.config file has resolved the issue.
Is there a way to prevent websphere from sending cookies in a response on a per request/url basis?
Our users get a link which allows them to download a file. Works fine in all major browsers except for IE8 & IE7. In IE7 & IE8, the file download breaks when cookies are sent with the response.
When a new session is created, the WebSphere sends a JSESSIONID cookie, and sets Cache-control to no-cache=set-cookie. This causes the download process to break in IE8 and lower.
Things I tried:
1) I know that no-cache=set-cookie can be turned off in Websphere admin console, but it's not an option.
2) The websphere is fronted by a web server, so the response headers can be changed using the web server, but it's not really an option.
3) I created a servlet filter, but it seems like whatever websphere does happens after the filter runs.
4) I created a JSP page that would prompt file download on load. The idea was that the cookie will be exchanged on page load, so that it won't interfere with the download. Unfortunately, because the download is triggered through JavaScript, IE blocks the download, and a user needs to manually approve it.
Is there any way to make it work?
IE8 has bug that may connected with your problem. Bug description. stackoverflow
I solved similar problem using good article.
Server Spec:
Wordpress 3.0.1
PHP Version 5.3.8-1+b1
MYSQL 5.1
Apache/2.3.16
Linux
The Problem
Simple really. A website that I helped to build and install a while back has just been transferred to a new host. The front end of the website isn't presenting any issues, but when I try to login to the admin area, I get a 501 'Unsupported Method ('POST') error.
I'm a bit lost, my guess would be it's a server config issue, but are there any specific wordpress issues that might be at fault?
I installed Coldfusion 8 trial version on my system (XP Professional sp3).
I created an Folder in the “C:/Coldfusion8/wwwroot” called “buildProject” containing an Index.cfm and some other .cfm files.
But I am unable to access the Neither my project files or CFIDE/Administrator
I tried the following URLS
http://localhost:8500/wwwroot/buildProject/
http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
http:// 127.0.0.1:8500/wwwroot/buildProject/
http:// 127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
http://localhost /wwwroot/buildProject/index.cfm
http://localhost /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
http://localhost /wwwroot/buildProject/
http://localhost /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8500.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
• I cleared the browsing “History” from both IE and FF.
• I have restarted the CF server in the Control Panel >Administrative Tools > Services
• Even restarted the IIS
Getting the same error.
Further I was trying to access IE/FF via CFbuilder But still I am getting the error
“The connection was refused when attempting to contact [URL].”
If you connected Coldfusion to IIS, then you probably need to connect on port 80. Which you did try, but if you connected Coldfusion to IIS, then the document root is IIS's document root, not the document root you created your new directory in.
I believe the document root for IIS on XP is c:\inetpub\wwwroot.
So, try putting a test.cfm file in there that just contains "hello world" or something, and see if you can request it from there.
Hopefully you installed IIS first and were happy it was working before installing CF.
Try connecting to your IIS on http://localhost
You should get the default IIS .htm landing page , probably index.html or something, so at least you know IIS is working fine.
If you then try http://localhost/nosuchpage.htm you will see a 403 error (as long as you didnt specify to allow directory browsing). In the standard IIS error page you should be able to see
Physical Path D:\inetpub\wwwroot
or wherever IIS thinks your web root is. When you then install CF to use IIS (rather than standalone) it will use this path as your web root.
Rename your index.html file as index.cfm and connect to it on
http://localhost:8500/index.cfm
If vanilla html pages are working from the directory but .cfm pages are not then you probably need an CFIDE mapping (I think one quick workaround is simply to copy your CFIDE folder and drop it into web root).
What happens if you try typing this in as a url:
http://{your i.p. address}:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
I bet it works
