I'm getting a 404 even though the page exists on disk.

I've ran the Web Server Configuration Tool and rebooted several times.

Handler mapping for .cfm files (configuration tool seems to have worked): C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll

Virtual Paths: root/index.cfm <- works root/dan.cfm <- doesn't work

Server: Windows 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 and Coldfusion 10

Rest of my configuration: desktop screenshot

Update 1

NTFS Security Information on /wsconfig/1 folder: enter image description here

Answer - TLDR

Map a virtual directory named "jakarta" to CFUSION INSTALL\config\wsconfig{instance id}

No need to add APPPool permissions to folder...

Right click on the website and add a mapped virtual directory named "jakarta" to C:\Coldfusion10\config\wsconfig{instance id} (in my case, it was \1 )

The docs aren't entirely clear on this - is there a difference between these variables? On IIS at least they appear to be identical, but I don't want to rely on that if it might be different under other servers.
