Basic Troubleshooting Overview

Verify that the web server is running

Before you install ColdFusion, ensure that your web server is installed and running.

Verify that the web server is running

  1. Open a web browser.

  2. In the address line, enter the URL for a web page or site. For example, if the file myindex.htm is in your web document root directory, load the page in your browser, using the localhost URL, as follows:

    http://127.0.0.1/myindex.htm
    or
    http://127.0.0.1:8500/myindex.htm (built-in web server)
     

  3. Click Enter. If the web server is running, the page appears, otherwise, an error message appears.
