Newbie problems with localhost:8500

Here is how I added ColdFusion 9 server to ColdFusion Builder beta 2

I am using:

=========================================================================

Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64 bit Operating System

IE 8.0.6001.18828

ColdFusion 9 installed: ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64

ColdFusion Builder installed: coldfusionbuilder_b2_install_winjre_100509

=========================================================================

When CF 9.0 & CFB beta 2 installed using default settings along with IIS All

In this case: Adobe ColdFusion Administrator works : http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm or http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

To varify: Click - Start - Programs - Adobe - ColdFusion 9 - Web Server Configuration Tool

Add server to CF Builder as follows:

In next step click Browse for Server Home. Choose C:\ColdFusion9 and Choose Version 9.0.x

Click Finish to complete ColdFusion Server Setup

For example: I am using CFB to create CF project saved at location:

C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\app

Use Ctrl + F11 or click Run. It will open IE with http://127.0.0.1/app/index.cfm or http://localhost/app/index.cfm (both works)

Additional Info for advance users:

Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services

Ok, well, I'm glad I was able to atleast advance your progress a little bit, even if you aren't all the way there yet.  I will say that I have had a lot of problems getting the server stuff to work, and I have seen numerous posts in this forum showing similar difficulties.  I hope Adobe makes things a little easier for us in the final release of CFB.

Dennis,

When you say "I think the server is running..." it makes me curious.  Does this URL work for you?

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

If not, than your server is not running.
