I installed the Coldfusion 10 server, with the built in web server option. After installation I got a message that my installation is complete but the web server is not running. I was unable to access any of the server administration pages, and was unable to start the web server. I tried restarting the Coldfusion service, but even that did not fix the problem. Pls help.

    What is your Operating System? What message do you get when you attempt to open the administrator page?

    My OS is 'Windows Vista.Home Premium SP 2'.

    When I try to open the Administrator page I get this message -- 'Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8500'

    Suggestions:

    In the Task manager I can see the 'Coldfusion App Server' service is running.

    Pls advice.

    Thanks.

    Can Internet Explorer or Firefox open the URL?

    What platform are you using? Windows? Linux? Mac?

    Is ColdFusion really running?

    Did you use the correct port for the ColdFusion built-in web server (default is 8500, I think) in your browser location bar, i.e. is the address you typed correct with the right portname? For example, http://my.ip:8500/CFIDE/administrator/ ?

    If you're using another port with the built-in web server, could some other service reserve the same port?
