Question

I just installed Coldfusion 8 Developer edition with the built in server on a windows 7 computer on my home network because i want to experiment with some things for a client.  I can access the coldfusion pages from localhost but i cannot access them from any other computer.

I thought that the developer edition coudl be accessed from more than just the computer its running on.

what am I missing?

    Hi,

    Are you able to browse other web pages ie HTM from other than localhost? I would think if other HTTP was accessible then CFM pages should be also.

    If HTTP pages are generally not accessible other than localhost -  perhaps there is a firewall block or there is not route to publish to the internet or LAN.

    If other HTTP pages are able to be browsed where as CFM not, perhaps CFM is only available via the “built-in webserver” on port 8501 (or similar) and you need to connect CF to IIS with “Web Server Configuration Tool” (WSCONFIG.EXE) tool.

    HTH, Carl.
