Question
Install complete, well, not really. :-(
I'm brand new with ColdFusion. I have a vague idea of what a
web server is. I'm basically a Dreamweaver user who maintains my
own business website and I want to add some interactivity. So I'm
doing tutorials on lynda.com and ColdFusion looks like a good way
to get where I want to go. But perhaps I've bitten off more than I
can chew?
I installed the coldfusion-702-win.exe file into the default directory, c:\CFusionMX7. I chose all of the defaults, including c:\inetpub\wwwroot
At what purports to be the end of the installation, I get a strange dialog boxup reading, "You have succesfully completed the first step in installing Macromedia ColdFusion MX7
However, the web server connectors did not install sucessfully. One possible reason is that port 51011 is blocked.
Please complete the folowing steps to complete the instalation:
1) Consult the installation guide on how to manually configure the web server connector,
2) Ensure any firewall software blocking port 51011 is disabled,
3) Ensure the ColdFusion service is started,
4) Manually configure your web server connectors,
And the rest just disappeared so I can't finish typing it out! The text couldn't be copied and pasted. Oh joy.
I can't find an installation guide, either in my CF installation, or anywhere on the adobe website. The Windows firewall is turned off. I have a hardware firewall for my network, a Sonicwall that is also the router.
I can't find any reference to port 51011 on my computer. I've Googled this and find plenty of references but unfortunately I just don't understand all of this tech talk.
Is there a book or tutorial somewhere that explains all of this for a non programmer? I use Dreamweaver so I don't have to deal directly with XHTML any more than absolutely necessary. I should perhaps hire somebody to do my website for me but for the most part I enjoy doing it. I just need things spelled out very clearly. The lynda.com tutorial doesn't go into this. It's for ColdFusion MX, and a few references to this port 51011 issue suggest it's related to MX7.
Is it just a bug with MX7?
Thanks,
