Hi everybody,
I'm new to Lucee and this group. I did a Lucee installation on my Windows 7 IIS 6.1 while I already have ColdFusion 10 installed. 

My problem is that when I try to view any of my local sites that are running the ACF server via http://localhost/clientsite/xxx/ I get an error

Error connecting to Apache Tomcat instance.
Please check that a Tomcat server is running at given location and port.
Details:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8009

You can change this message by changing TomcatConnectErrorURL setting in setting file.

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8009    at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port)
   at BonCodeIIS.BonCodeCallHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)


http://localhost/clientsite/xxx/index.cfm works

How do I get my CF10 server working correctly on IIS now? Prior to installing Lucee, I didn't need to add "index.cfm" into the URL and now that is the only way I can get access to my CF sites.
Dumb me, I know I should have searched this group first and see what I need to do before I dive in. The bad part is that I need to get CF working like it was prior to Lucee installation.

Please help!!!

Thanks!
Jaana

Mainly I need to find out where in IIS Lucee installed something so that I can disable it. I have already turned off Lucee in "services".
Would uninstalling Lucee at this point save my situation?

Hi Jaana,

What's happening is that the Lucee install, by default, installs a handler for your CFM files in IIS. You can un-check this option during the install process but it is checked by default.

The easiest way to remove the Lucee CFM handler is simply to perform an uninstall of Lucee, then when you re-install Lucee again, just be sure you uncheck the "connect to IIS" part. That way, you can test Lucee directly through Tomcat's web server on port 8888, and it won't interrupt your IIS handlers for ColdFusion.

You can uninstall Lucee through normal windows methods, or the executable is located in the C:\lucee\ directory.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Jordan Michaels
