getting 404 error accessing CFM page

I am trying to access a coldfusion file on Server.

The file with xyz.htm extension works fine where as when I convert the same html into coldfusion file, like xyz.cfm , it throws following error:

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

May I know what could be the reason?

Assuming CF8 on IIS6?

Could be that you've not correctly run the wsconfig.exe tool which will tie in CF to IIS etc.

Need to know which version of CF, which webserver/OS & versions to help further.

Basically, the webserver needs to know how to parse .cfm requests; without running the webserver connector tool, it won't know which files to use to actually deal with the .cfm files.
