Coldfusion does not work

[Merdad]

We have been teaching ColdFusion programming on Windows 2000 workstations and servers without any installation problems in the past.

The new computers we have purchased have been delivered with the XP operating system and we CANNOT get the Coldfusion administrator to open when using IIS.

The Firewall and Virus checker has been turned off before each software is installed;
A - the IIS system is installed and working and the computer is rebooted
B – the ColdFusion software is installed without any errors and the computer is rebooted

After doing the above on different machines and not being able to open the ColdFusion administrator I presume that there is a problem with IIS.

Can we please receive suggestions on how to fix this problem.

what is it that happens when you try to open the CF Admin?

[SanTorez]

The message that appears when using the CF Administrator, "is page not found".

We have received a note that suggests we have an ODBC connection problem.

When I go to the office on Monday I will look at the instalation on our 2000 O/S machines and on our XP machines and see what is different.

Hello, at services the following is on the screen
ColdFusion MX 7 Application Service
ColdFusion MX 7 Search Server

=
I think the reason we are having a problem is the following are not being installed
ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent
ColdFusion MX ODBC Server

How do I get the these modules to install
=
The computer(s) have the Virus checker and Firewall turned off
The previous software has been removed / rebooted / reinstalled

=
We have tried use the standard start of http://127.0.0.1 and http://local hosr, but the error message page not found keeps occurring on ALL the XP machines.

Thanks

Try this path;
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

It did not work for me either until I did that.

Thank you for your suggestion, which we have tried, and we cannot get the page to open.

Two other old computers have been formatted and only the XP professional software has been installed, with service pack 2 and the firewall turned off and still these machines do not open ColdFusion.

Error in starting continues.
=
Using the existing new computer, which was delivered with XP professional, and two old computers that have had XP professional installed on the message "The page cannot be displayed" appears when,
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/gettingstarted/experience/index.cfm
is entered to the browser.

Thanks to all of you for trying to help us, we are now using the built in ColdFusion server instead of IIS.
