Start with making sure that your ColdFusion is installed on
your machine. Locate main directory such as CFusionMX or CFusionMX7
if you are on Windows or coldfusionmx7 or coldfusionmx if you are
on some type of Unix system. Then search for your CFIDE directory.
It can either be under your main web server or under your
CF_HOME/wwwroot folder, where CF_HOME is one of the directories
mentioned above. Based on the location use either
localhost:8500/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm (if CFIDE is under
your CF-HOME) or just localhost/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm if
CFIDE is under you webserver. That should get you started.
