3/30/2020 Install Coldfusion 8 Windows Server 2008
This blog is slowly turning into a ColdFusion site it seems :-) Blame ColdFusion for that, it's the one application server that I know a bit about and I really like working with.
Today I needed to install CF9 on Windows Server 2008 64bit and I ran into a few issues which forced me to reinstall a few times. I've now managed to install it successfully so here are a two tips that may safe you some hassle if you like me encounter a HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found. ![]()
First off, I was using IIS 7.5. As you may know, you need to install the web server role onto Windows Server 2008 first and it seems that everything labeled IIS6 tools and compatibility tools should be installed as well, so do that first. Then when running the CF installer right click and 'Run as Administrator'. Once I did that it was plain sailing, but not much joy without those two boxes ticked.
I don't have Windows Server 2008 to hand, but I was able to install ColdFusion 5 on Windows 7 64-bit with very little problem, so you should just go ahead and give it a go (which is always a reasonable approach in these situations). I have fully-documented my install experience on my blog for you (in case it's any help). It's too long to post here. Dec 28, 2012 I checked to make sure all the Windows Features were installed correctly following this post: Installing ColdFusion on IIS 7 + Configure IIS for ColdFusion in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 and adapting it to the differences in IIS 7. They were all fine.
