I just upgraded a development server at work and ran into a oddity. In IIS I only have index.cfm listed as the default document. I installed CF7 along side CF6 so it was initially using the default webserver. After it had installed I disconnected CF6 from IIS (Windows 2003 & IIS6) and reconnected it to CF7. Which ever of the virtual domains i visited i got a “Directory Browsing Denied” message. Hmmm…index.cfm exists in the folder, default document at global/site level is set to index.cfm yet it didn’t work. I tried restarting IIS, the server but nothing worked. As a test i added index.htm to the list of default documents, created an index.htm in my site root - hit refresh and there was my site…(index.htm was beneath index.cfm so it did what you’d expect!). I then removed the index.htm reference and restarted IIS and it still worked….very odd - but least it’s working now!
