Hi All, I'm just getting started with Coldfusion, and I'm having a little trouble getting past Go - wondered if any of you have seen something like this before. I bought an old book Coldfusion MX Bible (and CD), followed the directions, and installed ColdFusion MX and its standalone webserver. After it finished installing, I clicked a button to take me to the ColdFusion Administrator which brought up my browser (IE7.0) pointing to this page:

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

It throws the following error:
===================================
Error Occurred While Processing Request

==========================
I went to www.java.com and upgraded to the latest version - still no joy.

I went up a couple of directories " http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/" and got a dir listing. (So the web server appears to be working.) I drilled down into a couple of the directories and tried to bring up other x.cfm pages and they all throw the same error.


Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Robert

Yes, that is an issue that had to do with the jre used in the older versions of CF. Personally, I would consider downloading a newer version (CF8). Though some things will not be exactly the same as in your book.

If you really want to follow along with the book you have, try applying the hotfix in the link below. You could also update the jvm used by CF (something like 1.4 should work). Do not bother with the "6.1 Updater" link. It is broken/no longer available.
