CF10 Standard Edition 64 bit, Windows 2012, IIS 8. Initially I installed the CF10 before moving the CF8 sites to the new server. I added the IIS and DNS records manually ahead of moving the site files to minimize downtime. Done this before. Lots of 404 Page not Found errors until we learned that every domain needed a virtual directory for CFIDE and jakarta. A few of the domains started to take shape, but eventually the CF Admin went blank. No error, no login - gone.
This morning I uninstalled and reinstalled CF10 and noted that all of the IIS entries had the virtual directory mapping included if they hadn't alreaday. But still no CFAdmin, which makes everything else kind of pointless. Instead of going forward, we punted and reactivated the old server where the CF8 chugging along which keeps my clients happy. Because I cannot login to the CFAdmin, I cannot tell you the build version was but I did purchase it on April 3rd and downloaded it the same day so I'd hope the install exe was the latest and greatest.
I found very little posted online for troubleshooting CF10 & Windows 2012. An abundance of Windows 2008 and CF9, but not having much experience with either I couldn't know for sure what was relevant or not. The CGI and ASAPI had to be available on the new server or CF10 would not install and I spent lots of time checking those this morning as it seemed to be part of the solution to many past postings on various sites.
What to do? Get a refund on the CF10? Anyone out there that married CF10 and Windows 2012 experience and remedy anything similar? Anyone tried CF9 on Windows 2012?
As always, all help is appreciated.
