Problem Description:   Web Server Configuration Tool doesn't work for "All" sites in IIS 7

Steps to Reproduce:  Use the Web Server Config tool to setup "All" sites for ColdFusion 10.  Add a new site.  ColdFusion will not work for that new site.  Admin will have to add each site manually or remove "All" then re-add "All".  Portions of the new site will work, but not all of them.  Get 404 errors.

Actual Result: 404 errors.

Expected Result: Server the CF page.

Any Workarounds:  Add the sites individually in IIS.  This is not an acceptable solution because it restarts CF for the whole server.

New note: CFM pages work via default document (without the filename). When you type filename into the URL, it gives a 404 error.

The solution for this issue: Just to see if it would work I mapped a virtual directory named "jakarta" to CFUSION INSTALL\config\wsconfig\{instance id}

@sebumd, Can you please check web.config in site's root for any conflicting settings (possibly due to CF9's wsconfig not restoring web.config to its original state)? Thanks, -Aaron

@sebumd, Please disregard my previous comment. That is not the issue here. This is a Microsoft IIS7+ limitation with appcmd.exe and their XML config files (web.config and applicationHost.config). IIS7+ does not permit a default virtual directory to be specified for the root application of each site. Thus, newly created sites will be missing the CFIDE and jakarta virtual dirs. The wsconfig.exe tool must be ran after adding each site -OR- the missing CFIDE and jakarta virtual dirs must be added manually. Thanks, -Aaron

@Adobe, hopefully that fact is made clear in the documentation to reduce confusion. Thanks!, -Aaron
