CF-Server not running

[Heavy_Paladin]

Hello all,
I am new to this world, I have installed CF-8 server and then I go the IE-7 and paste: http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm but the page is not loaded.

Is there any way to go further ...
Best,

You need to go to (these instructions for XP)
Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance | Administrative Tools| Services
Look for the Coldfusion 8 services and start each of them.

Waleed,

When you installed CF8, did you install it as a stand-alone server? Often, it's installed so that it works with IIS and, thus, the URL for the administrator is:
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm

As Katsuey points out, it could very well be that you just need to start the service but I wanted to note this just in case you configured CF8 for IIS when doing the install.

There is a way to check whether Coldfusion 8 is running and whether Coldfusion is using a webserver other than the built-in JRun web server. Run the Web Server Configuration Tool. You do so either by following

Start => Programs => Adobe => Coldfusion 8 => Web Server Configuration Tool

or by launching the executable C:\Coldfusion8\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe. You should then see an interface containing the list of Configured Web Servers. It also contains the buttons Add, Remove and Exit.

To remove a web server, click on its name, and then on the Remove button. If no web server is mentioned, then you have configured none yet. Strictly speaking, it then implies that Coldfusion is configured to use its own built-in JRun web server. that will also happen when you "remove" all previously configured web servers.

Press the Add button. If Coldfusion is not running, you will get an alert box that tells you so, giving the possible causes.


edited force of habit:

Start => Programs => Macromedia => Coldfusion MX7 => Web Server Configuration Tool
and C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe

changed to

Start => Programs => Adobe => Coldfusion 8 => Web Server Configuration Tool
and C:\Coldfusion8\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe

respectively

Thanks guys for your replies.
Katsuey:
I can see only one service for CF (Adobe LM Service) ; I started it but no luck.
Craig:
Yes, I installed it using IIS, how can I check this anyway ?
BKBK:
I try to do this, But I got error message says; server is running/not running.

Adobe LM service has nothing to do with CF, as far as i know

if you can not see CF service in the list (you should see at least a
service named Coldfusion Application Server) then CF did not install
correctly.

try reinstalling it. (i suggest you do an uninstall first from the
control panel's add/remove programs or using an uninstall script in cf
installation folder)

Hello Guys,

I run this (C:\Coldfusion8\bin\cfstart.bat) file and I got the coldfusion server running, I then try to add a new server but the dialog complian about the IIS web site related to that server where I am stuck right now.

Can anyone give me a clue about this and what is going on.

I agree with Azadi. You should reinstall. There will likely be bigger trouble in future if you cannot find Coldfusion in the list of Windows services.
