Developer Edition 7.02 is running but no longer working

I recently upgraded to Dev. Ed. 7.02 from the latest version of 6.xx and everything has been working just fine. During installation I chose to migrate to the new version. However, the last couple days the server stopped working - I'd restart my computer and it would work, but no longer. I can start/stop etc in component services - the server is running. However when I try to browse any file via 127.0.0.1 it doesn't work. It's as though CF 7.02 is not installed.

What's weird about this is that the old server browse path still works - localhost:8500. If anyone has suggestions as to what might be going on, I'd be most appreciative.

Thank You

    I think you get 404 is simply because you do not have CFIDE under C:/CFusionMX7/wwwroot folder. Check and see if it is there. You can only access CF Administartor on 8500 if you physically have CFIDE in above directory. You can run other cfm scripts just fine, but again you would need to have them there.

    It is up to you, but if I were you I would just leave it as is. You had enough head ache to get everything configured and working, you probably don't want to accidentally screw something else :)

    You are right CFIDE is in C:/CFusionMX/wwwroot folder which also happens to be the root folder for all of my websites. Do you recommend I leave well enough alone and just use localhost:60 since it works just fine?

    My guess is your CFIDE directory is physically located under inetpub/wwwroot folder and that is why you can only see Administrator from your IIS port which is 60. If you wish, you can copy your CFIDE to CFusionMX7/wwwroot, but having it in two different places is not a very good idea.

    8501 is now set as the port for MX 6 which is inactive, so I get this:
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8501.

    8500 is now set as the port for MX 7 which is now active (:60 works), and I get this:
    404 File not found: /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    File not found: /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

    The result is the same regardless of what I browse, this just happens to be administrator.

    What do you get on 8501?
    File not found - are you accessing some specific file or just a directory under http://localhost:8500?

    Dmitriy,

    I just tried what you suggested (switching to 8500 on MX 7, and 8501 on MX 6 then restarting servers) but when I browse using localhost:8500 I get 404 file not found whereas localhost:60 still works perfectly. As long as localhost:60 works I'm pleased but would be interested in your thoughts as to why 8500 still doesn't work.

    The reason why 8500 no longer working for you is because even though your CF6 is deactivated it still points to 8500. If you do want your 8500 to work for you and use CF7, you just need to make sure that under CF6 jrun.xml you would change the port from 8500 to something else like 8501 or 8502. Then make sure that CF7 is set to 8500 and deactivated is false and you are all set.
    By the way if you do want to run both CF6 and CF7 you can definitely do that. Just make sure they are on different ports.

    Dmitriy,

    You are a genius. Thank you for your patience in sticking with me on this issue. I went ahead and did as you suggested and MX 7 is now the active server. I disabled MX 6, changed 8501 to 8500 on MX 7 then activated. I now browse everything through localhost:60 - 8500 doesn't work but that's okay. localhost:60 seems to work just fine as a browse path.

    So under CF 7 just change the attribute so it would read like this
    <attribute name="deactivated">false</attribute>

    Also notice that couple lines above that it mentions port number 8501. So your CF7 would actually be available under http://localhost:8501 and your CF6 will still be under http://localhost:8500. If you want your CF7 to be in 8500, just switch port numbers - put 8500 for CF7 and 8501 for CF6.
    After you make those changes, make sure you restart both CF6 and CF7.
