Web server configuration failed while installing

[krusej23]

I have installed ColdfusionMX7 twice and both times the web server
configuration tool that is supposed to startup automatically when I get done
installing doesn't start up. Therefore I am not able to get into the
coldfusion administrator. How do I get that to run on installation or can I
get it to run now without installing. Thanks

What URL are you using to hit the Admin page?

Did you opt to use the the built in JRun webserver? If so, try using port
8500 to hit Admin (as in [url]http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm[/url]).

There is a Web Server Configuration tool that you can use to do the
configuration after installation. You don't say would OS you are on - in
Windows you can get to the tool under All Programs/Macromedia/ColdFusion MX
7/Web Server Configuration tool.

If, for some reason, that doesn't work, the next step is running the bat files
yourself. FOR A STANDALONE COLDFUSION MX 7 INSTALLATION trying to connect to
IIS, run these two bat files - this should connect you to IIS.
first one flushes out all current connectors
second one builds an IIS connector.
Bounce IIS and the ColdFusion Server after running the second script.

Remove connectors: C:\CFusionMX7\bin\connectors\Remove_ALL_connectors .bat
Connect to IIS .bat file: C:\CFusionMX7\bin\connectors\IIS_connector.bat

If you are using Apache or iPlanet, substitute the IIS_connector.bat with the
appropriate bat file in the C:\CFusionMX7\bin\connectors directory.

IF THE BAT FILES ABOVE DO NOT WORK:
