How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems.  When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell.  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.  After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation.  I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine.  BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true.  Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box.  After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging.  Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer.  The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe!  By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost.  Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded.  At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation. 
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes.  Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason.  Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone.  You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore.  Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.  Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button.  What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others.  Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups.  You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images.  Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency.  Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product.  If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”.  This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS.  If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule              %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule                        %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\).  For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory.  This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders. 
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane.  Expand the “Sites” folder.  Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”).  You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name.  NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection.  If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV).  Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”).  Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”.  NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service.  This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it.  For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”.  It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation.  My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.  Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button.  Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”.  Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”).  Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”).  The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not.  I enable this by preference but it is not required.  This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely.  Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful.  I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install.  NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks.  The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8.  The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory.  Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen.  Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly.  The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start.  Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time.  This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.).  There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”).  In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”.  Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy!  Hopefully now, everything is working.  Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

  • Outlook 2013 Constantly Prompting For Credentials - Exchange 2007 - Small Business Server 2008

    Hello, I am having a problem using Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Exchange 2007 with Outlook 2013. The issue is that a credentials box appears in Outlook 2013 when using there exchange account whilst connected to the domain. The box will randomly
    prompt for user credentials, once the user credentials are entered it will either pop back up again and if you enter the details in again it will continue to pop up for around 4 or 5 times before accepting the credentials. It will then pop back up within 15
    minutes and do the same thing, if you click "Cancel" on the box it will also go away and remain connected to exchange however a popup in the bottom right will appear asking for a password even though you can send / receive from the mailbox.
    I have looked into this issue for hours and hours and still can not find a resolution, I have tried re-installing Office 2013 and re-creating the Outlook Profile as-well as as the Windows 7 Profile. I have checked through all the SSL certificates in IIS
    and everything appear to be correct.
    Is this a common issue? Is there anything I can do to further diagnose or fix this issue without having to try to re-install both the server and machine?

    Hi James_wilson,
    Any update?
    Just additional, would you please let me know whether have installed all updates for Outlook 2013? If hasn’t, please install and then monitor the result.
    Please also check if you enable
    Always prompt for logon credentials setting in Outlook 2013. 
    If you enable this setting, please uncheck and check if this issue still persists. Meanwhile, please remove the old credential in
    Credential Manager, then add again. Then monitor the result
    By the way, please run the Exchange BPA on the SBS 2008 server and check if can find some issue.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello to everyone, 
    I'm trying to solve a problem in a friend server.

  • Sync TX to Outlook 2003 running on Small Business Server 2008

    I have a TX that worked fine syncing to Outlook 2003.  Our office just upgraded to Small Business Server 2008, and now I can't sync to Outlook. Reading through the manual & forums, it soundsl like I must use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.  Is this correct, or can I still HotSync it the way I used to before we were running exchange/SBS?  If so, is there any way to have my TX show more than 7 days of past calendar events, as I often need to look back at things over the past month or two.

  • Joining Windows Server 2008 to Windows Small Business Server 2008

    We have Windows Small Business Server 2008 and it came with a copy of Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL. (A packeged deal from Microsoft).
    Long ago I installed Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL on a computer and joined it with SBS2K8.
    My Windows Small Business Server 2008 crashed and I had to redo it and now I can't get the Windows Server 2008 to join it.
    We are not using the computers for a domain or anything but they are on our network with regular IP addresses.
    The Windows 2008 Server uses the SBS2K8's IP address for it's DNS. The DNS for the  SBS2K8 is 127.0.0.1
    We are using Windows Server 2008 for SolidEdge and MS SQL has to authenticate against the SBS2K8 to run.
    Should I hook both computers up to a switch for their own network to get them talking to each other?
    Do I have to put the Windows 2008 Server name in the SBS2K8 for a user?
    Please advise and thanks.

    Hi:
    Read the warning at the end of this and be sure you follow it.
    Can you explain further this part:  We are not using the computers for a domain or anything but they are on our network with regular IP addresses.
    I ask because SBS MUST be a domain controller or it will not work.  Right click My Computer -  Properties - Computer name tab and let us know if the SBS is "domain" or "workgroup".
    What I expect is the SBS is a Domain, and when you reinstalled it it becomes a new domain, even if it has the same name.  The Server was a member server in the old domain, so the solution to this is to change the Server 2008 with SQL from domain to
    workgroup in the same place as above, then after it restarts rejoin it to the SBS domain by changing it once again to Domain.
    Both the SBS and the Server 2008 should have static ip addresses and the SBS should be the DHCP server for the rest of the network, not your router/firewall.
    Warning:  You MUST check in control panel - users on the Server 2008 to verify you have a local administrative level account and you are positive you know the password for that account.  When the server restarts after being placed into workgroup
    mode the domain administrator will no longer be able to logon to the Server 2008.

  • PDF Generator on Small Business Server 2008

    Hi,
    does anybody know if it is possible to run PDF Generator + MS Office 2007 on Small Business Server 2008? One client of mine asked me to install it, but I am unable to make it work.
    Thanks,
    --- Jaroslav

    Jasmin,
    well, this is true. I know PDF Generator works on Windows XP and it is also unsupported. I have seen PDF Generator works on Windows 2008 Server and it is also unsupported. If there is somebody here having PDF Generator working on SBS 2008, please let me know.
    If I knew it works, I would spend time to make it working for the customer. If I know it don't work, I will not waste the time.

  • Warning: Palm OS Treos and Windows Small Business Server 2008

    If you use a Treo smartphone with the Palm operating system, beware:  it does not work with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008.
    Palm acknowledges this failure and has no intention of fixing it. 
    There are at least two problems:
    (1) You must turn off all email security on the Exchange mail server to sync with Treos.
    (2) AutoSync locks up the Palm each time it occurs, and must be turned off.
    Here's the transcript of my chat w/tech support. After this, I spent a few hours on the phone and got the same answers.
    [12:35 AM] Gary says: Hello.
    [12:35 AM] Handoff connection active (1/5140).
    [12:35 AM] x says: Hi. Please see the question sent earlier.
    [12:36 AM] Gary says: Could you please be more specific about the issue?
    [12:37 AM] x says: Our Palms will not talk to Exchange Server 2007 unless all its security
    features are turned off. This is a problem with Palm/VersaMail. When will it be corrected?
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: Yes, that is true. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: I am very sorry to inform you that currently we do not have any information on this.
    [12:39 AM] x says: Apology accepted and appreciated. But when will this be fixed?
    [12:40 AM] Gary says: Unfortunately we do not have any sort of update on this. I suggest you to post the
    feedback in the Palm Website.
    [12:41 AM] x says: Okay, next question:  Every AutoSync locks up the Palm, so we have to turn
    AutoSync off. Do you intend to rectify this problem?
    [12:42 AM] Gary says: I understand your concern. Is it happening with all the Palm devices?
    [12:42 AM] x says: Yes.
    [12:43 AM] Gary says: Do you receive any error message before locking up the Treo?
    [12:43 AM] x says: No.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this happening with all the devices to me it looks like the issue should be
    diagnosed closely to find the root cause. Was this happening with the Exchange Sever 2003?
    [12:46 AM] x says: No
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: So, the AutoSync feature is Locking the device from the day you upgraded to the
    Exchange Sever 2007.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Am I correct?
    [12:47 AM] x says: yes.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this is the issue related to the sync with the Exchange Server 2007 and the
    AutoSync to find out the root cause I will escalate this issue to our escalation channel which is our Voice
    Support Team.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I will provide you all the information and guide you in the correct direction to address this issue.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I suggest you to get in touch with the Voice Support and I am sure they will fix the issue.

    I will provide you a Service Request, when contacting the Voice Support, provide this Service Request Id and you will get a free Technical Support.

    [12:51 AM] x says: Of course I provided all this when I logged in, but here it is again:....
    [12:54 AM] Gary says: Thank you for providing all the information.I need 5 minutes to register the device and create a Service Request.
    [12:55 AM] x says: Thanks for your help, and confirmation of the incomprehensible failure to support Exchange Server 2007.  We're this close to dumping these things if this is the kind of tech support Palm intends to provide.
    [1:00 AM] Gary says: Thanks for staying on hold: I am sorry for the delay. I can understand the inconvenience you are facing.

  • How to install Small Business Server 2008 in an existing Active Directory domain

    It is shown on this page:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453, "How to install Small Business Server 2003 in an existing Active Directory domain".
    Is it possible to do this with SBS2008 ?
    If "YES", are there any published information about the procedure ?

    Yes, it is. Thank you very much.
    But there is something that confuses me - I want to migrate from Win2003Std to SBS2008. And also, I want to keep the existing Win2003Std as a second DC for a long time.
    But it is written in the shown article:
    ... After the migration is finished, you must remove the Source Server from the network within 21 days. ...
    Is this rule mandatory for the scenarios where the Source Server is Std, not SBS ? As I know, I can have more than one DC(Win2003Std/Win2008Std) together with SBS2003. But what about SBS2008 ?

    Hi Charlie,
    64 bit it supported on XI R2 but Windows Server 2008 is not . Have a look at this Supported Platforms document:

  • How long does Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 support?

    Hi,

    Thanks, 
    Eddy

    Hi Eddy,
    Below article take you to support like cycle of SBS 2008.
    http://support2.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=13231
    You will not see exact support date mentioned here as the underlying component is a Windows 2008 server and if you take windows 2008 the extended support is still the year 2020 as per the below Microsoft article.
    http://support2.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=12925
    and life cycle of various Microsoft products can be cross checked at the below reference article:
    http://support2.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselectserv?wa=wsignin1.0
    Upgrade ?
    I suggest you to plan upgrade based on your requirement ? What applications you are using on existing environment and what user need you are expecting ? based on these you need to plan whether you need to migrate to a new platform or not ? Also you need
    to decide which version of Windows you want to migrate ? SBS version ? or Non SBS versions ( I mean other than SBS family).

  • Installing Crystal Reports XI on Small Business Server 2003

    When I go to install the program, I am only getting as far at the Product Activation Code screen. 
    Once I enter the Activation Code and click next the screen closes and says that Crystal Reports XI installation ended prematurely because of an error.
