Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Getting Started / September 2004XP Home
I have installed CF6.1 on my other PC (Win XP Home). When I try to run dynamic pages it does not work. As far as I know I have done everything right with my site in c:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\mysitename and using http://localhost:8500/mysitename I get an error that either the preceding is not set-up correctly or ColdFusion is not running. Any ideas ? Thanks. Hi! I believe XP home does not run database server software. This is at least the only reason why I purchased the XP Professional version and that one works fine. Can you run the CF admiistrator ? http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm HTH John in Belgium Ok thanks. No I can not access CF Administrator quaerens, not sure what you mean here I believe XP home does not run database server software Any db would have to be installed to run. XP Home does not have a web server So I assume that you used the CF inbuilt web server ? Have you installed XP SP2 ? Is mysitename a folder ? If so, try http://localhost:8500/mysitename/default.cfm Where default.cfm is your start page, also try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost Have you checked the services that CF is actually running ? Ken <XP Home does not have a web server> Ah ok. <So I assume that you used the CF inbuilt web server ?> I guess so. I did the standard CF installation <Have you installed XP SP2 ?> Yes <Is mysitename a folder ? If so, try http://localhost:8500/mysitename/default.cfm Where default.cfm is your start page, also try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost> I tried different folders. I also tried 127.0.0.1 without success. <Have you checked the services that CF is actually running ?> How can I do that ? Thanks. Hi! What I mean - in more direct terms - can be found in Microsfot Knowledge base 304197 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304197 It says - a bit bluntly - quote Users that need Web server functionality in a desktop operating system should use Windows XP Professional. unquote Hope this clarifies I can't remember what the default option for the web server was, but a list of radio buttons should have been displayed and you need to select the inbuilt server, or you could install apache (or some other) and use that. To verify if the cf service is running. Now I can't remember the acual names and I'm not on my PC, so you will need to do a serach for "service" When I get home I will post the actual path of actions quaerens While MS, recommends this and in fact so do I, unfortunately not all us minions can afford the extra cost. When I got mine, I explained to the sales tech what I needed it for and just assumed I could install PWS. My error, so I will now look at up grading (which I'm not looking forward to). Ken CF MX 6.1 runs fine on Windows XP home. You have to install the built-in web server for CF when you install CF (it is one of the options). That particular function runs on port 8500. You may haev to modify the URL in the IE link that CF installs to use port 8500. http://localhost:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm as an example. Hello Ray Originally posted by: RayT CF MX 6.1 runs fine on Windows XP home. You have to install the built-in web server for CF when you install CF (it is one of the options). If that is so, it is I think quite a serious issue. If Microsoft are giving unaccurate information about their own products and if it is true that the CF built in server works fine on XP Home how come Macromedia don't say anything about it like "Contrary to what Microsoft are saying you don't need to spend ?200 upgrading to XP Pro?? Is there anyone from Macromedia listening to this ? Or from Microsoft ? If this proves to be true I'm going to ask Microsoft what they have t say about misrepresentating XP quaerens, I have XP Home edition I have cfmx 6.1 installed and am using it to develop aplications using the inbuilt web server with no problems. I also installed apache, which worked, but had problems hooking cfmx into it and as I did not have time to play with it, I just decided to use the cfmx web server. I have also installed mySQL and MS SSQL Server (personal edition) with no problems Ken Originally posted by: RayT CF MX 6.1 runs fine on Windows XP home.

I reinstalled CF MX 6.1 on my Windows XP Home, an by using the build-in web server (at the bottom of one window; which I had miss the first time) and it works. Thanks ! |
