Messy WinXP/CF7 Reinstall

[CryoGen]

Hi folks ... any help here is appreciated. I just finished a messy Windows XP/IIS/CF7 reinstall and I've run into a load problem for cfm files. The bearings on my old hard drive burned out and when it died it took everything with it.

Here's what I've got: WinXP Media Edition, IIS6, CF7 and DW2004MX on my home box ... it is not a production server. I need to run IIS to handle outside FTP uploads from clients.

I've since reinstalled WinXP Media Edition and CF7, plus IIS6. I set the directory mappings in CF Admin to "C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot";

I'm not sure what the logical path should be.

Everything seems to work OK until I test the page in CF. When I call up a website's homepage -- a htm file -- it loads fine when I use the "Preview in Browser" button in DW. But whenever I try to go to a CFM page elsewhere within the site, I get an "Error Occurred While Processing This Request" message ... and then a "File Not Found" error.

I think I've narrowed it down to an IIS issue. Since HTM pages will load in the browser, but CFM pages will not, I suspect I need to somehow configure IIS to recognize them and allow the browser to load them. I'm not sure how. A few Google searches find IIS5 instructions that point to the IIS MMC, but there's no such icon in my Control Panel/Admin directory.

Again, any help is appreciated.

and then a "File Not Found" error.

that means the server didn't find the page to give to the browser. sounds like the mappings are wrong in cfadmin
"I set the directory mappings in CF Admin to "C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot";

it should be "/" with no quotes
