CFMX for Windows Server 2003
CFMX is not supported on Windows Server 2003 just yet. But I stumbled across a couple of nice workarounds that will get you going on this platform. One's a detailed installation guide (recommended) and the others a slightly different approach from the Macromedia forums.
Getting Macromedia ColdFusion MX (or JRun) working with IIS6.0 (Windows .NET Server)

From my reading of it, it doesn't look like a significant support issue. Appears that the current CFMX web server connector scripts simply don't like the version number for IIS6 -- no doubt Macromedia will address this when .NET finally goes mainstream.

I have made it work but it is a pain in the butt...
You will have to install CFMX using the internal web server, then run the following command to setup all of the hooks to IIS6 - this works great for me so far...
c:\cfusionmx\runtime\jre\bin\java -cp c:\cfusionmx\runtime\lib
-jar c:\cfusionmx\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar
-ws IIS -site "0" -filter-prefix-only -map .cfm,.cfc,.cfml,.jsp -v
Make sure you run this as 1 long string and it will setup CFMX for you and disregard the (6) issue.

Hmm.. i think that should just work, yes.
But: How can you get Breeze run in Windows Server 2003 - i know it uses JRUN Components just like described in one of these articles, but Breeze just doesnt want to start the service :/
Any idea?
