Cfm page gets downloaded instead of rendering in the browser

Question

I have done the setup for coldfusion-61.When I try to hit the URL for a cfm page, a download window pops up asking if I want to save the file. This happens in the Internet Explorer. In Mozilla it just shows the code written in the cfm file. I looked up on the internet and what most people suggested was re installation but the issue persists . Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

I ran into this on CF10, was in the end an issue with the Application Pool. I had to recreate the pool and could then move forward with other issues.

Answer 2

As your using port 8500 I presume you are using the internal server and do bot gave iis installed? Are you sure that you chose rhis option during installation? Also have you checked the service is actually running.
