404 errors in ColdFusion10

After the move from an IIS6+ColdFusion8 server to a server with IIS7+Coldfusion10 I did not enjoy the fact that all the start pages of the sites open for very long. The letdown was waiting very close by. Following any link on the sites gives a 404 error.

A strange devil thing. To make it all work I had to add a virtual directory named jakarta to the site in IIS.
For that open the IIS management manager.

1. Right click on the site you need.
2. Pick the Add virtual directory item
3. Type the name jakarta and point to the path of the CF instance config. In my case it is - C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig\1
4. Press the OK button

That is it. The site works, the 404 does not fly out any more.

ps: Damn them.
