    Just copy the folder and all its contents to some other place. The main one you need to worry about is CF_HOME/lib directory which contains most of your ColdFusion settings file.
    here is the technote that explains most config files and its locations http://www.adobe.com/go/94a16ba6

    Thank ou for your responce.

    But I do not have a problem finding the files inside its corresponding location. engine files are inside where needs to be. But the coldfuion console isn son rendering. Go to www.mipermiso.com or its www.csgrouppr.com

    Is there a tool to trouble shoot Coldfusion server itself?

    Based on the error message it seems that your installation is corrupt. I would advice to reinstall ColdFusion as it looks like you may have have some configuration files either deleted or corrupted. You may want to back up your current install first, so you can restore your ColdFusion settings after fresh installation.

    Start with making sure that your ColdFusion is installed on your machine. Locate main directory such as CFusionMX or CFusionMX7 if you are on Windows or coldfusionmx7 or coldfusionmx if you are on some type of Unix system. Then search for your CFIDE directory. It can either be under your main web server or under your CF_HOME/wwwroot folder, where CF_HOME is one of the directories mentioned above. Based on the location use either localhost:8500/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm (if CFIDE is under your CF-HOME) or just localhost/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm if CFIDE is under you webserver. That should get you started.
