    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.
