Getting ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 Running on Vista and IIS7

So now we begin the manual work to correct problems encountered by the installer. Fortunately, Adobe has provided a TechNote that lists the steps to manually configure the web server connector. Unfortunately, these directions are for IIS 6 so you can't follow them verbatim. They give a good starting point, though.

1. Open the TechNote and scroll down to the section titled Microsoft IIS 6 Configuration. (Note: there are several typos in the section you need to use. Most are missing spaces between words and filenames. Read their doc carefully. I've corrected the errors here, though.)
2. Locate the wsconfig.jar file in the cf_root\runtime\lib\ folder. This JAR archive has a lot of files in it. You won't need all of them.

   cf_root corresponds to the folder you indicated in step 10 in the previous section. If you left the dialog set at the default value, the cf_root folder is C:\CFusionMX.

   Hopefully, you already have a utility that unpacks JAR files. If not, get something like WinRAR. The trial version is free for 40 days. Then is $29 (USD). If you use WinRAR, just drag and drop the files from the WinRAR utility to the appropriate directory. It's simpler to do it that way instead of using WinRAR's Extract to button because Extract to, by default, retains folder information, which you don't want.

3. Extract jrun_iis6.dll and copy it to to cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\.
   You'll find this file in the connectors\isapi\intel-win\prebuilt folder of wsconfig.jar.
4. Create a new folder in cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\ named 1 (the number one).
5. Extract and copy jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll to the folder you just created (cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1). You'll find jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll in the connectors\isapi\intel-win\prebuilt folder of wsconfig.jar.
6. In the cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1 folder, create a file called jrun_iis6_wildcard.ini. The file should contain the following:

   verbose=false
   serverstore=cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store 
   bootstrap=127.0.0.1:51011 
   apialloc=false 
   ssl=false 
   #errorurl=<optionally redirect to this URL on errors>

   Note that you'll need to replace cf_root as appropriate to your installation. For example, C:/CFusionMX7. Note the use of the forward slash rather than a back slash.

   In addition, be sure to use the correct bootstrap. The TechNote lists two values, one for MX 6.1 and the other for MX 7. The only difference is the port number. MX 7 uses port 51011.

7. Create a file called jrunserver.store in the cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1 folder. The file should contain the following:

   proxyservers=127.0.0.1:51011

   Here again you specify the port number according to your version of MX. Port 51011 is used for MX 7.

The rest of the steps in this TechNote pertain to IIS 6 so you can safely skip them.

Next you need to configure IIS 7 to handle the ColdFusion mappings.
