cf isn't working on my new macs

Hi all, I just installed the developer version of CF on my power mac g5 and my mac book pro.

When I run the CF launcher it says the following (which looks good):
"
ColdFusion MX 7 has been started.
ColdFusion MX 7 will write logs to /Applications/ColdFusionMX7/logs/cfserver.log
"

When I goto this url " http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/enter.cfm"... i try to login and get the "null 500"

I'm stumped.

I would love to get going on learning CF but it would be good if I could get it working properly.


Also (I have no backend programming experience... so please go easy on the tech talk 🙂 )

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Myles

Myles, Along with what Ian notes (my local install of CF on my Macbook Pro is on the 8300 port -- localhost:8300), there's a very good set of startup/shutdown utilities for CFMX 7 on Intel Macs. I know you installed on both a PowerMac and an Intel Mac but I've only used Intel Macs for development.

Keep in mind that CFMX 7 is not officially supported on Intel Macs, so it is not always easy to install and get running -- it's not just you :)!

However, the CF8 beta is a snap to install and run (just in case you want to try it out as well) on Macs.

Good luck!
Craig

http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/enter.cfm

This url will very slightly depending on various install options you may
have selected.

Give these forms a try and see if you get anywhere.

http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/
