Viewing cfm files in a browser

[SpecWriter]

I'm running an apache 2 server on windows XP with coldfusion mx 7 installed to
use the apache server and not the test server that comes with coldfusion.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something extremely basic here but whenever I try
to open the administration page my browser asks me which program I would like
to use to open the file. I've run the apache connector batch file to no
effect.

What am I missing?

Run the Web Server Configuration Tool, installed by default as
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe, and Add the Apache server.

This may be too elementary to mention but .....
Make sure you are not trying to open the file like this:
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\CFIDE\Adminstrator\index.cfm
but rather....
http:\\127.0.0.1\CFIDE\Adminstrator\index.cfm
or
http:\\12.0.0.1:8500\CFIDE\Adminstrator\index.cfm
or
http:\\localhost\CFIDE\Adminstrator\index.cfm
or something like that.
