I am installing ColdFusion 8 on my Windows XP Professional computer. I am installing it to work with Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1. I stopped the server when I installed ColdFusion. I select my IIS web site in the install wizard. When the installation finishes, and I go to the ColdFusion administration site, I get a HTTP 500 error. I tried accessing other ColdFusion files, and I still got a HTTP 500 error. What can I do? Thanks.

The error suggests IIS attempted to process the files. You should configure IIS for ColdFusion. Also, your files should be in the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\. Are they?

Yes, the files are all located in the CFIDE directory in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot. What can I do?
