Verify that the Web server is running

Check to be sure that your Web server is installed and running before you install ColdFusion by following these steps:

  1. Open a Web browser.

  2. In the address line, enter the URL for a Web page or site. For example, if the file myindex.htm is in your Web document root directory, load the page in your browser using localhost URL:

    http://127.0.0.1/myindex.htm

     

  3. Press Enter. If the Web server is running, the page displays. Otherwise, you see an error message.
