Installing CF8 on Unix

I have installed CF8 on my Fedora Unix server and am having trouble 

getting it connected to Apache.

I can access the administrator using

http://[my ip]:8500/cfide/administrator

Even though coldfusion is successfully installed, the problem persists.

Any ideas?

    What about if you use http://[my ip]:8500/CFIDE/administrator ? (CFIDE not cfide).  The dir is CFIDE.  The installer should create a symlink for cfide too, but I have seen it not work sometimes.

    Ok we have coldfusion installed on our Fedora Code server. The problem is that coldfusion will not connect to APACHE. I am

    supposed to use the wsconfig command to create a connection to apache however it gives me a cannot connector to server error.

    The command I used to TRY and install the connector is as follows:

    ./wsconfig -server apache -ws Apache -dir /etc/httpd/conf -bin /usr/sbin/httpd -script /usr/sbin/apachectl -coldfusion -v

    From the above you can see my apache dir, bin and script files. Still a no go.... please help! How can I get this connection to work?

    FYI:

    [root@warne-brothers sbin]# netstat -antp | grep "coldfusion8"
    tcp        0      0 :::51011                    :::*                        LISTEN      8456/coldfusion8

    Toadsteraz,

    Can you please check and print the contents of your /etc/hosts file here?

    It should have an entry like,

    [(Your_IP_Address) (Host_Name) (Alias)]

    For eg.,

    127.0.0.1 MyPC localhost

    What about if you use http://[my ip]:8500/CFIDE/administrator ?  IE: CFIDE instead of cfide.  The dir is actually CFIDE... usualy the installer makes a symlink to it as cfide as well, but I have seen this go AWOL sometimes.
