cf 8 gettingstarted exaample code

Hi,
I downloaded the cf8gettingstarted from Adobe( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/eula_cf8gettingstarted.html)
I am able to set up the datasource in the CF admin just fine, but the setup.cfm page throws an error.
The readme file says:
"3) Run {path_to_CF_Webroot}/cf8gettingstarted/setup.cfm
1. Edit setup.cfm and replace "{cf_admin_password}" with the password of your CF Administrator
2. Run setup.cfm to set up the required mappings

When I change "cf_admin_password" with my cf admin passsword (let's say it is "snoopy"( that is not the real one!), then I go to http://localhost/cf8gettingstarted/setup.cfm to "run" the set up I get a "CFACCESSDENIED" error. Am I doing something really wrong?

Is there a way to set up the mappings without using this file?
I am using the Mac, OS X (powerPC)

Thanks so much,
John

Hi John

Did you get help with your setup.cfm problem?

First, make sure you are replacing the entire text between the quotes with your password. Do not leave the curly braces in there.

Do you have the "/cf8gettingstarted" mapping? It should point to where you installed cf8gettingstarted.
Do you have the installPath\cf8gettingstarted\community\extensions\components customtag path?
Do you have the installPath\cf8gettingstarted\extranet\extensions\components customtag path?

Add them in CFAdmin if not. These are the 3 items that "setup.cfm" does with the adminAPI. So, add them yourself manually.

Finally, notice the last 2 code blocks of setup.cfm create and index a collection, "bookclub." Comment out all the previous code and run the collection creation and index. Or create a new template and run the code from it:
