I am having trouble accessing the cold confusion 11 administrator. I am using:
http://127.0.0.1:8501/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
I get:
A message stating page cannot load.
I have tried several browsers, turned of my anti-virus software and firewall but still nothing.
Can you please shed some light on this problem. I have an assignment due shortly that I really need it for.
Thank you in advance.
As you did not mention the platform, i assume its windows.
There could be several possible causes for this issue..
1. You need to check if ColdFusion 11 services are running.
Goto Start --> Run --> type Services.msc, click on OK
Find ColdFusion 10 Application Server in the list of services. Right click and start.
2. Check the port number on which CF11 is running.
You can find Port number in server.xml file which is located @ C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\runtime\conf
- The port number can be anything after

The default port is 8500, so why deviate from http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm?

Because BKBK when I open that port it opens to coldfusion 10 not 11.

Use the appropriate port number to login to CF admin
http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Please let us know if this helps.

Thank you Rahul. This appears to have worked. It now takes me to the login page. However, it will not accept my password (yes, it is correct). I saw a fix for this I think when I was searching for answers to this problem. I think their is a hotfix I should download. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I really appreciate your response to my problem. Thank you so much.

Hi Lea,
Looks like you have forgotten the admin password (We create one while installing ColdFusion).
There is a built in password reset tool (A windows batch file) -- "passwordreset.bat"
Location: C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin
Double click on "passwordreset.bat", it will launch a command prompt select the option 1 and then type your new password.
Restart Coldfusion 11 services
Goto Start --> Run --> type Services.msc, click on OK
Find ColdFusion 11 Application Server in the list of services. Right click and Restart.
This should work.
Regards,
Rahul
