Cannot run ColdfusionMX7

[Ýlknur Özkan]

Hi,
I'm new to coldfusion. I'm a installed IIS 6.0 on windows2003. Installed
Coldfusion standart server 7MX. I can run to
[url]http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm[/url] Administrator page
on this error page displayed " Server Error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Either the Macromedia application server is unreachable or it does not have
a mapping to process this request."
How to installed coldfusion or how to run coldfusion?

many thanks

Might be your ColdFusion Application Server is not running. You need to start the ColdFusion service from services.

Hope this will do.

Thanks

First, you would need to verify that ColdFusion is installed properly. To do
that, you need to run ColdFusion via its own built-in webserver. Quick and
easy way is to uninstall your current CF, re-install it and select the built-in
webserver during installation. After installing the necessary files, you'd then
be re-directed to [url]http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm[/url] to
complete the installation.

After you've installed CF on its own, you need to run the webserver
configuration tool to attached CF to your webserver (IIS6 I assume). Follow
this technote:

Kindly check with your windows service manager ( services.msc ) whether
coldfusion and its ODBC services are started.
Make the services settings to start automatically whenever the system gets
restarted/logged off.

There is no mandatory to specify the port number when u deployed the CFMX
server as an application server over IIS.
By default it will access the local websites.

IIS as an webserver and coldfusion as an application server means u have to
configure url as,
[url]http://localhost/cfide/administrator[/url]

If CFMX is installed as a self contained server then the URL should be like
[url]http://localhost:8500/cfide/administrator[/url] ( use the port number whichever u
have choosen, by default it is 8500 )
