Question

CF Administrator Will Not Come Up in Browser

Hey there,

I've recently downloaded ColdFusion 8 and am running the stand alone developer edition on an XP box.

I'm unable to access the administrator page. In both Firefox and IE it's unable to pull up the page and it brings up the typical error when the browser can't load a particular page. I used http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm, and I've tried it with 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.1:8500.

Likewise, my browser will not preview the .cfm files when I try to pull them up in there. It does the same as with the administrator. I've been able to get both of these things to work previously, but they have seemingly stopped working randomly.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!


P.S. I'd originally posted this in a different thread but I figured I'd get more people to respond if I created my own instead of just responding to somebody else's.

Are you able to browse the directories. For eg. If you type in browser http://localhost:8500/
are you able to see the directories listing.

First of all, jphillips777, sorry it's taken me so long to respond back. I appreciate you responding to my question. Are you asking what error I get when I try to go to the administrator? If so it just normally comes up as a typical error as when the browser can't find the page (e.g. in Firefox it says something about "Problem loading page").

Recently, I asked my professor what he thought the problem might be and he said that probably some of the ColdFusion services may not be running since I indicated that it stopped working after I restarted my computer. (I realized this information after I'd already posted on here.) He said he'd had this problem himself.

So, I looked at the services and sure enough one of them wasn't running. After I started the service I was then able to access both the admin page and I could preview my cfm files.

The only problem is that I had to restart my computer again later on, and when I pulled up the admin again it was giving me the same error. Yet this time when I restarted the service it didn't work. Well, the service restarted fine, but when I try to pull up the admin page (or any other cfm in file) in my browser a pop-up comes up as if it's trying to open the file in a different program (it offers Dreamweaver).

ukb kumar, currently, if I go to http://localhost:8500/ I get a JRun Servlet Error that says:

what happens when ( from your machine within your firewall ) you go to
http://"whatever" ??

I had a similar question but it was resolved by describing the dns url.
