If you are actually on 2003 server and it installed to IIS, it most likely is not using port 8500 - that is only used if the built-in CF server is used.

Look at the site in IIS and see which one it installed on. If the sites all have header designations (i.e. domains) and none are ste as a generic catchall site, then you will have to use the actual domain address for that site to access the administrator.

You could also try using the actual IP address of the server if you still want to try and use the built-in server as opposed to IIS

And so if the full path you are trying is
http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm.
and you are still getting that message, and you have checked your services at determined that the ColdFusion Application Server 8 service is running, and you have tried the almighty "reboot of the machine". Then my next piece of advice would be the uninstall/reinstall.

A couple thing to consider when reinstalling:

1. Did you tell it to use the Built-in web server? If not, try that and see if it works. You can always add another server later.

2. Any other Version of ColdFusion installed on the machine? If so, does it work?

ColdFusion is usually a very simple install.

Hi,

My services are running. Added the full path same result...My version is MX 6.x.

I re-install many time so far with no success.
I can't choose the IIS components when doing the initial install I have to choose the build in Web Server.
No other ColdFusion running.

is there any reason you're using version 6 and not the latest version 8?

Version 6 came out just before Windows 2003 was released I seem to remember and you'd need to make sure you were installing the latest version of 6 which included fixes for installing under win2k3 and iis6.

If you are on Windows 2003, you must add 127.0.0.1 to your list of trusted sites zone in IE.

Just go to Internet Explorer, and type in the address bar: http://127.0.0.1 and add the site to the truested sites zone.

The localhost will also be allowed, since that is mapped internally via Windows server to 127.0.0.1.

it may be silly of me to ask. But have you tried:

http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

or

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

If you have, then also make sure the ColdFusion 8 Application Server is running.
