I am using Mac OS X 10.4.11. I installed Coldfusion 8 last week, and it was working fine. I even had a sample query working...but after restarting my computer, I can't seem to get anything to work. The Coldfusion server is started and I am using MAMP, and both the MySQL and Apache servers are running.

When I try to go to http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm I am getting this error:

Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1.

Anyone have any ideas?

    That means Firefox can't talk to the web server, which is Apache. Are you positive it's running? Can you go to:
    http://127.0.0.1
    ?

    After restarting my computer, I can't go to 127.0.0.1 or anything run from there. CF Administrator doesn't work...nothing.

    Then your statement where you said the Apache server is running is incorrect.

    Have you tried manually starting MAMP again?
