I just installed CF2016 Developer with the internal web server on Windows 10 server. After installation, I attempt to open the administrator app with this code http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and receive this message:

This site can’t be reached

127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

Any ideas?

Thanks

    I am having this same problem.  I'm an old-timey CF programmer and built many CF projects, usually linked to MS SQL.  I had CF2021 running on my Windows10 computer, and it was working fine.  But when my system did an update on Windows10, it broke the Cold Fusion server system and I get this same error every time.  I have to figure this out and get it fixed. .   Maybe something in the registry got broken (?)

     

     

     

    I'm not an expert.  I user pretty simple methods, but I definitely need som help (!)

     

    Yes, Cold Fusion is running (started)

     

    But every time I click the home page for any cold fusion project on my 127.0.0.1 local host server, oit fails with the same "refused to connect" error

    I do need to fix this problem.  I'm going to try sending an email to Charlie Arehart.  I'm in a little over my head here.  Thanks!   - Bruce Schuman, Santa Barbara CA http://origin.org

    Bruce, PLEASE read things more carefully. No, those images don't help. I said (in the comment above from 2018) that in that resource monitor one should look at 'its network tab, On that, see its "listening ports" section, which is sorted by port. Is cf shown there listening on 8500?', or in your case 8501 since that's what you show trying to load in the url.

     

    And as important, PLEASE follow Ravi's suggestion to run cfstart, as I'd also suggested above.

     

    Or I had emailed you directly to meet, if you want to knock this out more quickly than all this back and forth. Happy to help, either way. 


    I see that you emailed me while I was writing this.. Will call you now, to hopefully sort this out quickly for you.

    Is the "ColdFusion 2016 Application Server" service running (assuming you chose to run as service during installation)?  If you didn't install as a service, have you run "cfstart.bat"?

    The app server will not start. It begins to start and throws an error
