Problems defining the datasource with coldfusion 9

Question

I just upgraded Macromedia MX7 with coldfusion 9. The local host was http://localhost:8500/ows. I am not sure if this address is the same for coldfusion 9. When I try to define the datasource, I still see Macromedia MX7 instead of coldfusion 9 in administor and I cannot proceed to Login because of the URL "http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm", and a I get a message "the page cannot be displayed" Please HELP. Thanks, Conabre

It sounds to me like you might have done a parallel install rather than an upgrade?

Is there anything in your filesystem that looks like a CF9 install?

What steps did you follow to perform the upgrade?

If it's just a local machine, it might be quicker to not bother to work out what happened, and just install CF9 and migrate your stuff across to it, rather than doing an inline upgrade. I have to concede I had such poor luck trying to upgrade CF in the past I abandoned it as a practice and always did a deinstall / resinstall rather than an upgrade.
