SOLUTION TO INSTALL Coldfusion 8 Standard (32-bit) to Windows Server 2008 64-bit (SBS small business server 2008 x64) on IIS7 === Example Website: IIS > Sites > testwebsite Path: E: testwebsite Homepage: E: testwebsite index.cfm IIS Application Pool: (automatically named and created by IIS) testwebsite === 1. PROBLEM: HTTP Error 404.17 SOLUTION: IIS > Application Pools > (right click on) testwebsite > Advanced Settings > Enable 32-Bit Applications > (set to) True (no restart needed) === 2. Then I hit a 2nd PROBLEM: browser shows: 'Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable' Refer to: I followed his steps and found out this error in windows Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application > Error, Source=IIS-W3SVC-WP > 'The Module DLL C: Windows system32 RpcProxy RpcProxy.dll failed to load. The data is the error.' SOLUTION: Edit file: C: Windows System32 inetsrv config applicationHost.config Change this line from: To: May need to restart IIS. Now the 3rd PROBLEM pops up: browser shows: 'HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error' Refer to: which refers to: SOLUTION They said the http compression modules caused the error, and need to disable it globally. Run this command:%windir% system32 inetsrv appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress'] In case we want to re-enable it, run this:%windir% system32 inetsrv appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir% system32 inetsrv suscomp.dll'] (note two%windir% to replace) NOTE: this will turn off HTTP compression for all sites on IIS. I tried to turn compression ON again in IIS > (Top Level Domain, the 1st node below 'Start Page' on left sidebar) > (dbl-click icon) Compression, by unchecking all boxes (if checked) > apply changes, then checking all boxes > apply changes. Then both HTTP compression & coldfusion work at the same time! (to confirm: check HTTP header: Content-Encoding = gzip, using Firefox add-on: Live HTTP Headers) === Then it finally worked!! Enable 32-Bit Applications in the IIS Application Pool 2. Edit applicationHost.config for RpcProxy.dll 64-bit setting 3. Disable HTTP compression scheme in IIS by command line - than turn off then on Compression in IIS by GUI IIS7 32 bit 64 bit SBS 2008 Coldfusion • •.
