Why am I getting a 500 error on a newly installed Coldfusion 11?

Question

I am running CentOS 6.6 with Apache 2.2.15. All were installed today, on a newly provisioned VMware guest.

When I browse to http://10.213.42.200/CFIDE/administrator/ from my laptop, I get a 500 error. I read that I may need to access from localhost.

So, I installed X windows and a desktop client, then connected to the VMware console for the machine and browsed to localhost. I got the same 500 error.

This is a very vanilla install, and I can make any changes necessary. What suggestions do you have, or what additional information can I provide to gain an answer?

Are you getting anything in the log file that references to issues initialising the licensing service?

I would recommend archiving the log files and then restarting the server, then access the page. This way you should have only the relevant logs.

Thank you for pointing me to that file!

I was able to look up the errorINFO: failed to load: coldfusion.CfmServlet and found this thread:

ColdFusion 10 install on RHEL 6.1

The problem was solved when I updated my hosts file and restarted Coldfusion.

Did you run the web server connector after the installation?
