Question

Can't open any cfm pages

I installed a trial version of ColdFusion MX , to work through some tutorials from a book on E-learning.
It installed OK. But I now want to access the Index page in order to add a New Data Source, and it won't open! It says it doesn't recognise the file extension (cfm). My computer is saying that all cfm pages are "Homesite+" files. (I had Homesite before, but uninstalled it).
Is there any way out of this? It would be a shame not to be able to try out the product.

Thanks. I don't have McAffee Studio 7. I checked my firewall (Norton) and even tried turning it off - no joy. '.cfm' is already in the application mapping, along with .cfml and .cfc) and 'Check file exists' box is checked. Any other ideas?

If you are using IIS, you probably need to add .cfm to the Application Mapping. Right click on the Web Sites Folder and select properties. On the "Home Directory" tab select "Configuration" then "Add" .cfm.

Hi Natchen

this is the usual link that is generated to access the administrator
" http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/" If this is different than what you have, give this a try...

Hi Craig.

No, I'm afraid that doesn't work. If I try and go through the Start-Programs menu, I just get a blank page. If I type the address in the browser, I get an error (page not available). I can see all the files on my hard drive, and i can open any other file type (html, css) through the browser, but not the cfm files. If I look in the root folder, I can see all the files listed, but my system won't open any of them. I saw an earlier posting that said I needed to change configuration mappings in IIS for coldfusion files (check 'Check file exists' box) but that made no difference. I'm stumped.

I'm using Windows XP Pro with IIS(5.1) if that's any help.
