I have a new Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 dev machine. I installed IIS with the .NET Extensibility, ASP.NET, CGI, ISAPI Extensions, and ISAPI Filters checked. Then installed CF10 64 bit and ran the Webserver Configuration Tool telling it to install All websites
and allow 32 bit. I ran the mandatory manual update, then the automatic ones.
I create an index.cfm in the default website and can hit it via localhost/index.cfm. Things seem good. I then create a folder called "greg" and an index.cfm in there. I can hit it via localhost/greg/index.cfm. I have a domain pointed to my location and forwarded
port 80 to this server.
In IIS I created a site named "greg", physical path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\greg" IP address "All Unassigned" Port 80, Host name: "greg.mydomain.com".
From outside I can hit greg.mydomain.com and I get the index.cfm GREAT! But if I specifically go to greg.mydomain.com/index.cfm I get a 404 error. I CAN however hit the index.html in that dir like this greg.mydomain.com/index.html.
Somehow IIS is processing the default document if it's a cfm, but not if you request the cfm by name. What does this mean?
