Install Problems with CF MX7 Standard on IIS 6

[jbeatty@nighytear.net]

I'm new to Cold Fusion, so forgive me if this is an easy one. I'm trying to
setup a new CF MX 7 Standard install on a Win 2003 SP1 IIS 6 fully patched (as
of 9/7/06) server. It gets to the last stage of the install and fails at
trying to create the web connectors. I read the docs and tried to follow
along, but it can't find a Jrun server. Looking at the logs, it says it can't
connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 2901 initially. When I telnet to loopback on that
port, it responds just fine. IIS is fully setup and the default website is
started. It's set with all the defaults, so if there's a special pre-req
setting I need to change, let me know. I cross-checked over to a working CF MX
7 server and the default website security/scripting/etc seemed to be identical.
It'd help if I knew what things to look for.

I do have McAfee VirusScan installed on this server, but I disabled it just to
see if that would fix the issue. It didn't. Are there any other "gotcha's"
that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this one's been asked already. I did a bunch
of searching in the forum archives but didn't find anything useful. The docs
are equally unhelpful in this instance.

No windows firewall, there is a physical firewall in front of that server, but
all of this traffic should be internal, right?

If I use the manual configurator, I get a screen telling me:

Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost.
Possible causes:
- Server not running
-- Start Macromedia Jrun4 or ColdFusion MX Server

- Server running
-JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or firewall
on server
- host restriction in securtiy.properties blocking communication with server.




Question: Is the ColdFusion install supposed to also install this MacroMedia
JRUN4 server as a service? If so, it's not listed in the services panel. The
Coldfusion MX 7 Application server and the ColdFusion MX 7 Search Server
services are both started.

I can telnet to 2190 and I get a blank screen, which seems to indicate that
the JRUN server is starting, if I read the logs correctly.

Also: I'm reading that it's possible to download a new installer from Adobe.
I looked on their site, and all that I can find that's available is an updater,
which requires that the software be installed already. Is there a way I can
download a new source install of MX 7.0.2? Maybe they've fixed this bug in a
later release.

Also, I've noted on many forums that I'm supposed to run netstat and check for
port 51010 or 51011. Neither are running at the moment. What should start
that port listening?
