Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Getting Started / August 2006No CFM browser
Hi, im a complete begginer at CF but im reading the guide and already got the hang of it a litle. My problem is IE6 wownt open a the file I copied of the guide and firefox will just show the code <cfoutput> Hello world, <br> Today's date is #DateFormat(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy")# </cfoutput> any ideas, Thanks Have you installed Cold Fusion on your computer? yeah, looks like it, its ther in the start menu, but the only executable file in the folder is Web Server configuration tool. It might have been poorly instaled or only a demo ? Apologies if you're already doing the following correctly, but it sounds like you're trying to open the file using "file:///path/myfile.cfm" or directly from file browser/explorer which won't work. So if your cfm file is somewhere under wwwroot like: cfinstalldirectory/wwwroot/mysubfolder/myfile.cfm you should be entering the address http://localhost:port/mysubfolder/myfile.cfm into your browser (default port is 8500) The other thing to check would be to make sure the server is running. In the same start menu folder as the Web Server config tool, there should be some shortcuts, one to an admin panel and the other to a getting started guide. If either of those load up for you then the server should be fine. You should also be able to check the status of the various cf services (assuming windows here given that you mentioned IE6) via control panel->admin tools->services and if any of them don't say "started", you could try starting them. > yeah, looks like it, its ther in the start menu, but the only executable file in the folder is Web Server configuration tool. It might have been poorly instaled or only a demo ? Either go to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs and see if it is there, or browse to your C:\Program Files dir and see if its in there. Failing that, a removal of the Web Config tool, and reinstall of CF might be on the cards. Good luck.

Ensure the .cfm file is an a directory that ColdFusion controls. It can't just be any directory. |
