• Update: For more details on the specific installers for ColdFusion 10 that added support for Windows 8 and Server 2012, see this subsequent blog post. I just downloaded the new (64bit) CF installer from the Adobe site, have installed on a 2012 box and it doesn't have the latest updates on it.
• I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb.

You would need to do is install ColdFusion on the new server. Since the site is running version 7 currently you may want to stick with that. The current production release is 9.01. You may want to test the site against current version and if all is well upgrade to that.From there you would have to configure ColdFusion server. Get any datasources configured and secure the server.

These are just a few of the things you will need to do. This is not indicative of ColdFusion, but a necessary process any time you are moving a site from server to server.If you have never done it before I would suggest getting help from someone who has. While it can be fairly easy to do there may be little nuances that a novice may miss.-Dave. I realize I am simplifying this, but generally speaking is it just a matter of installing ColdFusion, installing any necessary IIS 7.5 components, perhaps some IIS configuration, creating the IIS site and pointing the the directory to where CF files are saved? Are you aware of a blog post somewhere that may describe this type of adventure? I am thinking it cannot be too bad, but since I have never configured a CF site, I wanted to get thoughts here.

Installing ColdFusion on IIS 7 + Configure IIS for ColdFusion in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. First, start the program called Windows Features. You will find Windows Features under Control Panel – Programs and Features. When the Windows Features starts, navigate through the features hierarchy under Internet Information Services and select the two features: (a) ISAPI extensions and (b) IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility.

I do know Windows and IIS well.so I have that going for me.–Aug 3 '11 at 3:14. I don't think you will have any 64 bit issues, obviously I haven't seen the code and don't know exactly what is under the hood, but generally I have not run into any issues except when the code has been pretty exotic. As for upgrading from CF7 to CF8 or 9, I would recommend using a test environment before going production. Personally I would want to go CF9 just to be current plus have the new features available to me. If your goal is just to get the site running, staying CF7 would be the safe way to go to take variables out of the transition.–Aug 3 '11 at 3:47.

I'm having issues getting ColdFusion 9 working with Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.The server is brand new and it's a fresh install of Apache and ColdFusion 9.Having installed Apache, I tested the web server and it was working fine, so I proceeded to install ColdFusion 9. I'm having issues getting ColdFusion 9 working with Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.The server is brand new and it's a fresh install of Apache and ColdFusion 9.Having installed Apache, I tested the web server and it was working fine, so I proceeded to install ColdFusion 9. I missed an important detail in my opening post. My Coldfusion 9 version is 64 bit - not 32.OK. Simple solution to this.

I'll put it here for other peoples' reference.To cut a long story short, after phoning Adobe support this morning I was told that you can't run a 64 bit version of ColdFusion with a 32 bit web server. Thanks for your information on this. Glad you managed to install it on a 32 bit version.

At the time I placed the first post, that was not the view of Abobe when I spoke with them. They were certain that it couldn't be done. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have had enough system knowledge to know to do what you did. Nor, seemingly, did Adobe.In the end, as I stated above, I went with the 64 bit unofficial version of Apache available from and installed it, based on the instructions at.

Might as well make use of a 64 bit operating system if we can, I suppose. It has been working just fine since then.@BKBK. It has been marked as answered.
