CFWheels App goes to directory structure instead

Question

I just added a CFwheels site to my IIS 8 and instead of going to the actual page is showing the directory structure on the browser. Any hints on what I should check?

Check the connecter installer. It seems like CF is not installed correctly. — Mark A Kruger, Dec 15 '14 at 18:25
It's an AMI from Amazon so you can't really trust it that much I guess. I will check again thanks — Geo, Dec 15 '14 at 18:36
@MarkAKruger I created a test page which only dumps the cgi struct and it's working just fine. Is there any issue between CFWheels and CF11? — Geo, Dec 15 '14 at 19:07
Sounds like, "Default document" is not working. Try setting it up at "Server" & "Site" level. — Anit Kumar, Dec 15 '14 at 19:21
@MarkAKruger just responded, what I was about to.Thanks Mark. — Anit Kumar, Dec 15 '14 at 19:53
Anit... no problem. I'm trying to catch up to Ray on points :D — Mark A Kruger, Dec 15 '14 at 20:05

Geo,

Your problem is the default document settings as Anit has suggested. In the IIS8 control pannel look for a cpl called "default document". It will show a list of documents that are served by "Default" so that when you navigate to something.com/home it actually serves up something.com/home/index.cfm (as an example).

Make sure you add your desired default document to the list. You can aslo do this in the web.config file:

<configuration>
   <system.webServer>
      <defaultDocument enabled="true">
         <files>
            <add value="index.cfm" />
         </files>
      </defaultDocument>
   </system.webServer>
</configuration>

You are correct I think that if it is an Adobe AMI it should have such a setting by default - but perhaps you are not using a standard default doc.

You probably want to disable directory browsing as well - that's also a cpl I think.
