configuring coldfusion to work in an exsisting versionof IIS (5.0)

[BealeAFB]

I am running CFMX on a win 2000 pc with IIS 5.0 I was able to get
coldfusion to work when i installed it on our test server with no version of
IIS loaded and just used the 8500 port. But now that it is on our live server
with IIS, i can not get it to configure properly. I have added the mappings
for .cfm and those other ones. The JRunScripts virtual directory is in place
however when i try to access the CF Admin i get a 404 file not found:
/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm it is trying to access
[url]http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm[/url]. I dont know what i am doing
wrong or what i need to do still please someone help me out.

Something similar happened to me once.
Make sure CFIDE, CFDOCS etc... are in the right directory.
For example: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\

Make sure you have the CFIDE virtual directory under the default website in
IIS. I would advise that if this is a production server you remove the CFDOCS
virtual directory. Some exploits can be done on this directory which would
cause security issues.

Have you tried bringing up the CF admin with port 8500 just in case? Do your
other CFM files work at all?
