- I am running Coldfusion 2018 on my Windows 11 machine as my local development environment. I use Coldfusion Builder 2018. I have been unable to get debugging to work. Yesterday I tried to set it up. I access the Coldfusion administrator on 127.0.0.1:8500 and run my local instance of my web site on https://localhost.
- In the Coldfusion administrator I went to the debug page and told it to use 127.0.0.1 and I think I entered in the default port (5005? 8005?).
- Since then I am unable to access the Coldfusion administrator to undo what I have wrought and my local instance of the coldfusion app won't run. In both cases the page load indicator spins and spins continuously until I stop the page.
- I can't find Apache or Tomcat in my processes running under Windows. I think I did see the apache server in the RDS window. The stop and start didn't work and I deleted the server hoping that would help, but no.
- I don't really know what's wrong but I think it is coldfusion looking for debug info instead of page fetch info on 127.0.0.1.
- Not sure what to do.

Thank you very much for this response, I was hoping to get this type of help to find this info. It turns out I think my error was clicking on a button to start the debugging server in Coldfusion Builder, perhaps in the RDS window. Earlier in the debug setup where you are to choose a server, none were in the select box. I thought if I clicked to start the server it would then show up in select box. In doing so I apparently started in instance of apache which then began intercepting the local

Let us assume for a moment that the problem is caused by you changing the debugging port. Then there might be a way to revert to the original situation.
- Open the system file /lib/neo-debug.xml in a text editor. Locate the elemets named IPLIST and LINE_DEBUGGER_PORT .
- Make sure their values are as follows:
<var name='IPLIST'><string>127.0.0.1,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1,::1</string></var>​
<var name='LINE_DEBUGGER_PORT'><number>5005.0</number></var>​
- Save the file and restart the ColdFusion instance.

In doing so I apparently started in instance of apache which then began intercepting the local browser requests but didn't have any paths set up to the files. I think it was solved by a computer restart though I tried other things such as shutting down the coldfusion services, rebooting, then starting them one at a time and trying to get to the administrator. I think I could have skipped most of that and saved some time and angst. Appreciate your response.
