Question

Installing developer edition

I have a PC using Vista Home edition and I have Dreamweaver 8 installed.

I downloaded the developer edition and installed it as a standalone. At the end of the installation process when I see the message "Step 1 completed successfully" (or similiar to that), I click on the "done" button to log in to the administrator and I get an error message saying it can't find http://127.0.1:8500/CFIDE/admnistrator/index.cfm. I tried the url http://localhost/ and that didn't work.

Edited original message:

I got to thinking that maybe it was the Vista firewall causing the problem so I added port 8500 and configured it to allow 127.0.0.1:8500. I uninstalled and then re-installed. It didn't help. I ran into the same problem.

However, the CF administrator did load in the browser. I entered my password and it took a long time, but the server did configure. I don't know if adding the port helped because I tried entering my password before and it took such a long time, I thought it was stuck on the configuration. Maybe I never had a problem to begin with.

It is

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

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

I ran into other problems so I started all over.

I didn't remember the error message correctly. When I click on the "done" button (after completing the first step of installation), the error says: "Windows cannot find http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm."
