application server test page failed

Dear UNITRIN,
The port after localhost had to be changed.
Now, I can see my database connection on the panel.
I can also insert recordset and so on.

Thank you for your help.

Georgeslys,


P.S. I may need your help again

This is on your local machine, right? localhost? What URL do you get when you modify data sources? You may have installed CF 8 as stand alone, where it uses its own internal web server instead of IIS or Apache. IIRC, when installed like this, you have to use a certain port number to connect to the CF server.

If the URL to your "change data source" link has a port number after localhost, then we're heading in the right direction.

If I can create a data source, does this mean that ColdFusion is running?
Also, I went to that link you provided me: http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/ it says, the page can not be display.
but,when I click the modify data source, I do get to the administrator.
What does it means?
Also, If ColdFusion is not running, what do I have to do in order to correct this problem?
Thank you for your time.
Georgeslys,

I am using dreamweaverMX to write the following code.(on code view)
<cfdump var =#cgi#>
I created a page with a cfm file extension and save it under that name: timetest.cfm.

Via http://localhost/timetest.cfm

If you can get to http://{your_domain}/CFIDE/administrator/ then CF is working correctly. You should have been prompted to this URL directly after the CF installer was done in order to setup the CF Administrator.

If that is working, then

1. What do you mean by "create a new file extension"? What program are you using to write code?

2. Are you accessing the file via a HTTP request ( http://localhost/path/to/file.cfm ) or are you opening the file directly in the browser ( file:///C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/file.cfm )? It should be via HTTP.

If you can't get to the CF Admin URL, there should be a LOG file that shows any errors that happened during the installation.
