I have just installed CF8
and to view the administrator, my tutorial said to place in the browser address field. http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator.cfm This does not display the Administrator window.

This does: http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator.cfm

I did not put the port call 8500 in the path.

Is this going to cause me problems later on ? or can I leave it.

If I have to change it....HOW ???

Any help Please

    If you chose to use IIS, Apache or some other external software as your web server, it most likely has the default HTTP port 80. So it's very much ok not to include the port number in the URL. The port of the CF's built-in web server is 8500, which you obviously don't use if you don't use the built-in web server. Since the built-in web server isn't meant for production use, it uses a different port by default so that it doesn't collide with some other web server you might be running.
