Problem with Administrator

Question

Hi all,
I am VERY new to ColdFusion and am feeling my way around. I
have coldfusion MX installed on my laptop (running Windows XP) and
so far have been able to run some basic .cfm pages but when I get
to start learning about databases I am stumped.

From what I have read I need to identify/setup my database
using the Administrator panel. However when I try and launch it, I
get the general error message:

****Please Try The Following:

Check the CFML Reference Manual to verify that you are using
the correct syntax.

Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your
problem.****

I've looked at the file (CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm) in
dreamweaver and it appears to be corrupt. Is there a quick fix for
this? Can I download the required files or do I need to do a
complete uninstall and reinstall of coldfusion?

I've been looking around the forums for some help and I'm
guessing that someone is going to ask me IIS or Apache...and the
thing is - i'm soooo new that I don't really know how to tell!!
(embarassing to admit but true :))

Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction? (and
please don't say "give up now" :)

Cheers.

Hi there,It's not corrupted its encrypted :)are you sure that you have the right URL to theadministrator? when you access your other basic pages do you havethe port 8500 after the localhost? If not then you are running theColdfusion install on all IIS sites and should be able to accessthe administrator athttp://localhost/cfide/administrator/index.cfm
