Trying to learn ColdFusion but can't access Administrator

I installed WAMP and ColdFusion but when I go to http://localhost/cfide/administrator it gives a 404 error. CFML is displayed fine so the ColdFusion server must be running correctly.

I'm using WAMP ServerVersion 2.2 ColdFusion 9 and Windows 7 64bit.

Try your actual ipaddress incase your server settings have not setup localhost by default.

In windows - run CMD or Command Prompt... Then ipconfig

U should get ur ipaddress...

Replace localhost with that IP address - I have had that problem in the past...

And then create a shortcut with proper address

Both Seybsen and Jason hit on the two most common reasons for not being able to hit the administrator. Seeing as you're on Windows, it's unlikely to be case-sensitivity. But not having index.cfm as a default document will be a problem. You can add it to the http.conf:

<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex dex index.html index.cfm default.cfm
</IfModule>

If hitting the entire string including index.cfm doesn't work, then it's likely Mark's solution. To elaborate, you'll need to check either the http.conf or the mod_jk.conf to make sure that the alias is there:

Alias /CFIDE "C:\[full path to CFIDE]\CFIDE"
<Directory "C:\[full path to CFIDE]\CFIDE">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

That alias should work for all virtual hosts as well.

Check your httpd.conf file to make sure there is an alias for CFIDE (and remember it's case sensitive). If you still can't make it work try running the connector script for apache found in cfusion9/bin ... or run wsconfig for a gui to try to hook it up. Also remember to run as administrator.
