why Coldfusion-MySQL-Apache isn't running on localhost if everything is setup and connected?

Newbie question - my first attempt at Coldfusion/MySQL and getting it to run locally.

I'm running Apache Webserver (2.2), I have importet two .sql files into MySQL (5.2.) workbench, forward engineered a database from these, setup working database connection and MySQL Server. This is also running. In Coldfusion8 Admin I added my database as a data source.

I thought this would be enough :-)

Still, on http://localhost I'm still only getting an index of all files in my Apache htdocs folder. If I open one of the files it just shows the Coldfusion Markup/HTML source code. Nothing parsed.

Thanks for any hints on what I could be missing?

EDIT:
Three questions trying to implenent:
1. Can I load modules using absolute paths, like D:/Coldfusion8/lib...?
2. My lib/wsconfig folder only contains a dll file named jrunwin32.dll. Trying to use this?
3. The lib/wsconfig folder does not contain a jrunserver.store file. Not sure what to do here

It sounds as if your Apache config is not correct, as it doesn't sound as if it's having the cfm files handled correctly.

First of all, is there a specific reason for using CF8? CF9 has been around for a while, so if going from scratch then I'd advise taking a look at that instead.

That aside, I'd check for the following in your httpd.conf (or whatever your apache config file is named)

Firstly, that .cfm is acceptable as a DirectoryIndex (can have other indexes as well)

DirectoryIndex index.cfm

Secondly, that the JRUN handler is configured properly (so again, in httpd.conf)

LoadModule jrun_module /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so
<IfModule mod_jrun22.c>
    JRunConfig Verbose false
    JRunConfig Apialloc false
    JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false
    JRunConfig Serverstore /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store
    JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51801
    AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf
</IfModule>

This is taken from my development VM, I have CF8 as a single-server install in /opt/coldfusion8/

Once you have those lines in (with the paths/ports etc appropriate for your environment) restart apache and it should work fine.

If you have installed CF8 in a Multiserver etc. install then please specify and will look to adjust my advice accordingly
