Question

Administrator Cannot be Displayed?

System:

     XP Professional SP3; IIS installed.

    

     ColdFusion MX (version?)

I've installed these things carefully following directions and when it goes to start the Administrator, nothing works!

http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm  both result in the Error Occurred While Processing Request screen.  Expanding the Stack Trace doesn't reveal anything obvious (at least to a newbie like me).

http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm both result in Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Web Page.

I found a link to someone els's answer where they were told to go to C:\CFusionMX\runtime\servers\default\SERVER-INF\jrun.xml and find <attribute name="port">.  The value in my file is 51010.  So I substitute ':51010' for for ':8500' and get the same results as with 8500 (although it takes consideably longer.

I just don't where to look now!

Did you restart Coldfusion after changing the port?

Yes, and it didn't help.  I even completely rebooted.

I just don't know what else I can do.  You figure with as many people who have problems getting this crap to run, the Adobe "experts" would be a little more proactive ensuring that we could easily get up and running!

Things to check, assuming you are using CF8:

1. Verify that IIS is running.  Can you add a test.html page contain static HTML to your wwwroot directory, usually at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and view it by browsing to http://localhost/test.html ?

2. Is the "ColdFusion 8 Application Server" service running?

3. Have you configured IIS?  http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=configuring_07.html#1175085

4. Is there any information in either the Windows event logs or ColdFusion's logs, usually found at C:\ColdFusion8\logs\ ?

5. Is there any firewall or security software on your PC that might be interfering with CF?
