Newbie problems with localhost:8500

[Guest]

I have just installed both ColdFusion 9.0 developer, and ColdFusion Builder beta 2. When I try to connect to the localhost:8500 server from ColdFusion Builder I get the following error

'Starting localhost' has encountered a problem

Ensure that the server is not already running or any application is not using the webserver port.

I think the server is running already, but I am unsure how to get around this problem.

Thanks,

Dennis

Dennis,

When you say "I think the server is running..." it makes me curious.  Does this URL work for you?

http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

If not, than your server is not running.

Nope it does not. Can I fire that up with the web server config tool in

CF9 ?

Sorry for the dumb questions.

Are you on Windows?

If so, look in your Services for "ColdFusion 9 Application Server" and make sure it is running.

Yes I'm running Widows, the ColdFusion services running are:

ColdFusion 9 Application Server

ColdFusion 9 ODBC Agent

ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server

ColdFusion 9 Search Server

ColdFusion 9 Solr Service

The http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm URL returns an "Unable to Connect" but http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm does work.

This is what I have been fighting, I'm not sure what is going on

Thanks for your help,

Dennis

Ok, I haven't done a lot of hooking up CFB to CF servers, so hopefully someone with better experience will step in to help.  But one thing I'm curious about...you can't connect to port 8500 using your browser, but you can to port 80 (the default).  Since http://127.0.0.1/ works, you are using port 80 instead of 8500 to connect to your CF Admin.  Did you configure IIS or Apache to run on your local machine?  If so, you might need to tell CFB to look at localhost instead of localhost:8500.

I get the following console errors

localhost:(11/25 at 03:51:19) Server is available. Getting server

settings from Server

localhost:Error(11/25 at 03:51:47) Unable to query service for the

server localhost

If I edit the server entry in CFB to port 80, it says it's running but

the apps can't see it.

I went in and configured IIS but if someone can give all the services

that must be enabled that would be a help

Thanks,

Dennis

Ok, well, I'm glad I was able to atleast advance your progress a little bit, even if you aren't all the way there yet.  I will say that I have had a lot of problems getting the server stuff to work, and I have seen numerous posts in this forum showing similar difficulties.  I hope Adobe makes things a little easier for us in the final release of CFB.

Here is how I added ColdFusion 9 server to ColdFusion Builder beta 2

I am using:

=========================================================================

Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64 bit Operating System

IE 8.0.6001.18828

ColdFusion 9 installed: ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64

ColdFusion Builder installed: coldfusionbuilder_b2_install_winjre_100509

=========================================================================

When CF 9.0 & CFB beta 2 installed using default settings along with IIS All

In this case: Adobe ColdFusion Administrator works : http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm or http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

To varify: Click - Start - Programs - Adobe - ColdFusion 9 - Web Server Configuration Tool

Add server to CF Builder as follows:

In next step click Browse for Server Home. Choose C:\ColdFusion9 and Choose Version 9.0.x

Click Finish to complete ColdFusion Server Setup

For example: I am using CFB to create CF project saved at location:

C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\app

Use Ctrl + F11 or click Run. It will open IE with http://127.0.0.1/app/index.cfm or http://localhost/app/index.cfm (both works)

Additional Info for advance users:

Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services
