Accessing ColdFusion Administrator on localhost

Asked by raederle in ColdFusion Application Server, Web Servers

Tags: ColdFusion, Safari, could not connect to the server "localhost."

I am in the process of switching from Ruby on Rails to ColdFusion.

I've installed ColdFusion, and the tutorial i'm using (http://www.intermedia.net/support/ColdFusion/CFMXdocs/Getting_Started.pdf    page 37) says that i should be able to access the ColdFusion Administrator on the localhost, but when I go to http://localhost:8100/CFIDE/administrator, the browser says "Safari cant open the page http://localhost:8100/CFIDE/administrator because it could not connect to the server localhost."

With RoR, I used Locomotive 2.0.8 to run a program before I could access it on the localhost:3000, and if I did not the browser showed the same error message as I am getting now.  So now my question is, do I need to do something similar with ColdFusion?  How can I get that connection to localhost working?

I realize I'm probably overlooking one small detail that's throwing everything off, but as I've never done this before, I would truly appreciate any wisdom you could give me! :)
