Subject: CFM File Links Are Downloading Instead of Processing (Win7/IIS7)

I set up Railo this afternoon using the windows installer, set up my sites
and got them all to come up, but when I click on any cfm links, they are
downloaded as files.

Am I missing a config here?

This means that IIS doesn't recognise the file types of CFM files. I
take it this wasn't a clean install?

Go ahead and uninstall 3.3.1, and try the 3.3.2 installer instead. You
may download a copy from here:

http://railo.viviotech.net/

3.3.2 uses a new connector method for IIS, the BonCode connector, which
was specifically designed for CFML. The 3.3.1 installer uses the
isapi_redirect, which is a Tomcat connector. It will work, but it isn't
specifically designed for CFML like the BonCode connector is.

Let us know how it goes.

Warm Regards,
Jordan Michaels

Hey Jordan,

I've been wanting to try the BonCode connector myself. Will the new
installer upgrade from 3.3.1 with the old connector (installed with your
installer) or do I have to fully uninstall 3.3.1 first?

Thanks,

Mike

Hey Mike,

Yep, the installers have an upgrade process that will upgrade 3.3.1
installs in both Linux and Windows. Be sure to create a backup first -
just in case.

The upgrade process can upgrade Railo, Tomcat, the JRE, and the
connector to the latest versions at the time they were built.

Let me know how it goes. =)

Warm Regards,
Jordan Michaels

Thank you much for the response. I have a production app on a Vivio VPS so
hopefully all goes well locally and I can upgrade there as well. I'll let
you know how the process goes.

Thanks,

Mike

I had uninstalled a copy of ACF 9 earlier in the day.

I used the 3.3.2 installer and I appear to be where I was before...

One thing I noticed is that there were no changes to the ISAPI filters.
 I'm not sure where I should see the BonCode connector, but I'm not sure
it's making the connections.

Ah.

Okay, what's *probably* happening here is that the ACF connector wasn't
completely removed when it was uninstalled. It's probably still grabbing
the requests for CFM files and attempting to process them, but without a
JRUN back-end to pass it to, it's returning it as a binary or some other
downloaded mime type.

The BonCode connector runs as .NET, so it's handlers are configured as
.NET services IIRC. Honestly, Bilal can talk about how it works WAY
better then I can. Bilal is the one who developed the BonCode connector,
and supported mod_cfml with it.

What I would do if I were you, would be to examine the IIS handlers and
see if you can find and remove the ACF connector configs. that sounds
like what the road block is right now.

Warm Regards,
Jordan Michaels

Well, I had previously removed all the ACF handlers I had seen before
installing Railo.  I'm going through the list, and while I see a lot of
"xxxxx-ISAPI-4.0_32/42bit" connector, they all appear to be related to
.NET.  The only CF-related ones appear to be the BonCode handlers, and I'm
still getting the pages downloading.

I'm not sure where else to look at the moment.

I don't immediately know what all is installed with the ACF connector,
but I can help Google it to find out.

In the mean time, curiosity question: does the same thing happen with
Railo and the BonCode Connector uninstalled?

Well, if I remove Railo, no pages will load at all.  But with it installed
with the connector, the "default" index.cfm pages for the the directory are
loading properly.  It's just the *.cfm pages that are linked to from there
that aren't loading properly.

So, it works when I don't specify the page, but not when I do...

Alright. Let's try to understand what's happening a bit better.

When you say "no pages will load at all", do you mean you're getting the
IIS error that indicates it doesn't know how to handle the file? IE: "if
this is a script, add a sript map", etc? You'll get that message if you
have detailed errors enabled in IIS.

However, when it's installed, this URL works fine:
http://localhost/

but this URL does NOT work fine:
http://localhost/index.cfm

So... when you hit the index.cfm file directly, you get prompted to
download the file. Is this correct?

Warm Regards,
Jordan Michaels

Subject: Re: [railo] CFM File Links Are Downloading Instead of Processing (Win7/IIS7)

Yea, that's the gist of it.  I have 4 sites set up:

        <Host name="football.localhost.com" appBase="webapps">
             <Context path="" docBase="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\football" />
     <Alias>football.localhost.com</Alias>
        </Host>
        <Host name="test.localhost.com" appBase="webapps">
             <Context path="" docBase="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test" />
     <Alias>test.localhost.com</Alias>
        </Host>
        <Host name="project.localhost.com" appBase="webapps">
             <Context path="" docBase="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\project" />
     <Alias>project.localhost.com</Alias>
        </Host>
        <Host name="reader.localhost.com" appBase="webapps">
             <Context path="" docBase="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\reader" />
     <Alias>reader.localhost.com</Alias>
        </Host>

If I go to http://project.localhost.com/, it loads fine, but if I click on
a link like http://project.localhost.com/index.cfm, it prompts to download
the file (or automatically downloads it in Chrome).

Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier.

What do you see in your IIS7 handler mappings?

I've attached a copy of my dev environment so you have a comparison.

Also, if you don't have production sites on this system, it may be
useful to remove any IIS features that may be assisting the cause of the
interference. I'm attaching a screen shot of my IIS features as well for
comparison.

Ok, I had a bunch of other handlers for non CF file types which I have
removed.  I also updated my server configuration to match yours.

I then had to reboot because of the configuration changes.  When I was back
up and running, I continued to get the same problems.

Do the sites work okay when hit on the Coyote (internal Tomcat web
server) port?

IE:

football.localhost.com:8888
test.localhost.com:8888

...etc?

Knowing this will tell us if the problem is indeed with IIS.

Before seeing this, I actually grabbed a registry cleaner and ran it to
clear out any old/orphaned entries.  That seems to have done the trick, and
I'm up and running now.

Now I'm just trying to adjust and update things like my debugging to show
all the variable values.  There seem to be a few ways that I was accessing
my CFC's previously in ACF that Railo doesn't seem to like.

But at least it's up and running!
