    Good catch Dan. Funny how we just assume that the server solftware is even installed, let alone running!

    Cold Fusion Studio Software is not the same as Cold Fusion Application Server Software. The former makes it easier to write Cold Fusion pages. The latter is necessary to run them.

    Make sure the ColdFusion Server service is running.

    Your web server is not passing the CFML files to the ColdFusion server.

    Review your installation process.

    Review your installation logs.

    Can you access your ColdFusion Administrator?

    What flavor of ColdFusion did you install?
