Check to be sure that your ColdFusion Server is running after you install ColdFusion. Note that to run ColdFusion Administrator, you must enable cookies in your browser.
To verify the ColdFusion Server:
Open a Web browser.
In the address line, enter
the appropriate URL as follows:
If ColdFusion is installed locally:
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm
If you access ColdFusion remotely:
http://hostname/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm
where hostname is the name of the server on
which ColdFusion resides.
Note: The Administrator's
URL is case-sensitive on Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX. Be sure to enter the
address as shown.
Press Enter. If the ColdFusion Server is running, then the ColdFusion Administrator opens. You see a prompt for a password if you use ColdFusion Administrator security.
