ASP to CFMX 7 Problem

Question

I've just been given a new project which is to take an ASP
site and convert it to CF. Sounds easy enough...but I can't get the
CF variables to work/display. Here's what I've done so far:
1 - Copied all ASP and associated site files to a new
developer folder
2 - Created the site in DW using CF server technology
3 - Copied the index.asp page code into a new cfm page
4 - Deleted the ASP code in the index.cfm page and replaced
with the appropriate CF code
5 - Created the Application.cfm page and put all my
Application variables in there
6 - Put the necessary CF variables on the new CF pages
surrounded by <cfoutput>
While the header and footer information is called via the
<cfinclude> tag in the Application.cfm the APPLICATION
variables are displaying as regular text....it's almost as if the
site isn't registering that the index page is a .cfm even though
the page is index.cfm.
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Do you have <cfoutput></cfoutput> tags around any
an all calls to the
application variables. Variables are only rendered if they
are inside
an <cfoutput> block.
If your <cfincludes...> are working then CF as been
properly configured.
But if the web server has not been completely configures
CFML pages
will not be properly rendered, but this is an all or nothing
proposition. If any ColdFusion code is working, then it all
should.
