If you are trying to fix the 404.3 error - here is the simple fix that no one seems to mention CLEARLY!
1) All Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 9 > Web Server Configuration Tool
2) Click Add
3) The JRUN host should be localhost (if not there, enter it or exit and restart)
4) Check "Configure web server for Coldfusion 9 applications
5) Click OK
Once done you should now be able to run CF pages. Hope this helps.

@Matt ColdFusion 9 standard is 64 or 32 bit. You can use the same key and CF9 64 is supported in ColdFusion 9 Standard.

We run ColdFusion 9 Standard on 64bit servers using ColdFusion 9 Standard edition.

Based on this I see no reason to run 32bit ColdFusion on a 64bit server

Hi Paul

I have a problem with configuring IIS with ColdFusion.

He wants to work me to call the Windows / IIS / MySQL / CF

I need this configuration is to connect using the MySQL database ColdFusion applications in Flash Builder 4 (Flex 4)

David, there is a couple of ways to bridge 64 bit to COM 32 bit, but they require external java libs.

One project is jacob, just google it "com java bridge 64 32 bit"

Windows Server 2008 is one of Microsoft Windows' server line of operating systems.I have load tested our app and found that the performance under CF9 64 bit standard is somehow being choked.

No I have never tried to do that? Are you invoking a .NET dll? I'd you want you can email the dll to me and I can try? Kukielp at gmail.com

2010-01-15T13:15:24.305-05:00

Hey Paul. Nice post. I have 64-bit CF9 installed and running happily on Windows Server Web 2007 with IIS 7.

I have enable 32-bit applications set to False in the application pool. Here's the thing. I need Coldfusion to access a 32-bit DLL now. Is this possible? Can 64-bit CF touch 32 bit DLL's?

I think my problem is that when I change the 32-bit applications setting to true, I get an error message.

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
Module IsapiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler AboMapperCustom-66628
Error Code 0x800700c1

Any ideas here? Thanks in advance for any knowledge you might share with me.

2009-12-18T16:34:38.161-05:00

@Paul. Yes you would think that enabling 32 bit applications would not interfere with a system that was all 64-bit. But this is just something I observed when I was going through all my installations and reinstallations trying to solve my original problem with the busy threads. I was getting those same 500 internal server errors, and setting "Enable 32-bit applications" to "false" seemed to fix it. Not the most scientific explanation, I know, but I figure it's worth a try for Ryan.

@Roger. Thanks I have heard of this before but I'm not sure why you might want to change this option if the Operating system and the version of ColdFusion is 64bit?

2009-12-18T12:31:01.918-05:00

Ryan, you might want to check the settings of the application pool that you are pointing to (for a virgin install, it is probably the Default Application Pool). In IIS 7, Click on application pools in the main tree, select the appropriate application pool from the list, and click "Advanced Settings". If you have the "Enable 32-bit applications" set to "true", try setting it to "False". This might cure the 500 internal server error.

2009-12-10T20:56:36.712-05:00

This isn't quite the issue I've been having, but close. I'm trying to install CF9 on W2k8 64bit, and am getting a 500.0 internal server error. I've tried everything including a virgin install, uninstall, reinstall, re-run the wsconfig tool.

I followed the steps in your video exactly and still nada. At least with W2k3 the server errors would get logged to the eventlog .. but theres nothin there.. I'm pretty much out of ideas.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

2009-12-10T13:17:41.689-05:00

Paul! You're a genius. Thanks so much for that tip. I'm now flying along with 51 busy threads under load testing. I'm sure there's more tuning to do, but at least I'm over that hump.

I scoured the web for someone else who had this problem and knew what to do. I spent hours on the phone with adobe support. I'm no IIS Guru (which is part of the problem), but I would think there would be others out there like me, who would struggle with finding this setting. The default CF9 installation specifies 50 simultaneous template threads, and yet hidden away is this 25 worker thread limit! I'll give some feedback to my contacts at adobe support. Thanks again for your post and your response.

2009-12-09T16:33:43.464-05:00

I have also heard of this. Open

jrun_iis6_wildcard.ini

and uncomment "maxworkerthreads" and set it to a value higher then 25 and it should perform much better.

Currently my production CF9 server is on linux with apache so I have no real world experience with this but a load test tool should show results pretty quickly.

2009-12-09T14:04:08.000-05:00

Thanks very much for an informative post. I have been through pretty much the exact same process and have been running into some curious problems. I have load tested our app and found that the performance under CF9 64 bit standard is somehow being choked, and does not compare to the same load test under CF8 32 bit standard (all our existing servers are CF8 std, Win Server 2003, IIS 6... our brand new server is our first foray into the 64 bit world). One glaring symptom is that according to our metrics, the "Busy Threads" appear to be capped at 25 (+ 1 or 2). In graphing the results, it's clear that we're hitting a hard limit (not like we hit 25 busy threads only occasionally). We also saw the same behavior during our peak loads. Have you heard of anyone else experiencing similar problems? Once again, thank you for your post.
