mrtom
10/02/2022, 7:29 PMcreated aws workspace, windows server 2016.. installed iis, installed latest lucee.
defined my site in iis, as I often do.
installed the bonjour connector, ran the connector_setup program.
i made sure my web directory has IUSR access
when I navigate to the site, I can view html files ok, but it won't serve up the cfm files. it doesn't error, it simply shows blank page. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Is Lucee processing requests OK if you go to it directly, rather than via IIS?
Have you looked at all relevant logs, and checking what they're saying?
If you follow-through all these steps on yer/a local machine rather than an AWS workspace, do the steps work?
What troubleshooting have you actually done? You haven't listed anything you've done already, so yer kinda relying on us to guess, which is perhaps not a good use of anyone's time. If you could say "I've already checked x, y, and z and they are all doing what I'd expect". That would be a good way to start...

10/02/2022, 7:38 PMmy local workstations are linux, and I'm needing to setup lucee on windows, so I can't compare that way. You are right in that I didn't provide a ton of info - I gave a quick summary to show how I installed, in case I missed something obvious. I will dig further and see if logs show anything.

Which - exact - steps did you follow to install the connector? URL?
Maybe someone will go "oh yeah, on AWS you also gotta do x". Hopefully

Does IIS expose config as a text file that we can look at, these days? I ain't touch it for over a decade, but seem to recall it was possible to work with text file-config rather than doing everything via the UI, towards the end of my time needing to work with it. Sharing the relevant bits of config would probably help too.

https://docs.lucee.org/guides/installing-lucee/lucee-server-adminstration-windows/adding-new-site.html

10/02/2022, 7:48 PMnormally I've never had these problems with lucee/iis/windows, I think I just might remove everything and start fresh.
What's the best document I should look at for win/iis/lucee setup?

I can't answer that, sorry. But I would naively presume that if the Lucee docs actually have docs to cover it, then they'd.... work.
