Hi,
Just loaded CF and did the "hello world" page in CFML Basics. I've spent a day trying to see the program in the server at URL http://localhost:8500/test/cfpage.cfm, error code is "cannot find server or DNS error". Also cannot see the Administrator screen at http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm, same error code. Went through the ColdFusion forum answers and couldn't get an answer.
I'm running a Win 98 machine, tried Dreamweaver and Homesite+ to make the file (no difference)and am using Personal Web Server. PWS root is C:\inetpub\wwwroot, the cfpage.cfm is at C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\.
So,frustrated beyond belief I'm hoping one of you kind folks will take pity on me and earn the 100 points. I think it has something to do with the PWS?

make sure your CF is started and you don't have this line
<attribute name="deactivated">true</a
in cf_root\runtime\servers\de
<attribute name="deactivated">true</a
in cf_root\runtime\servers\de

To CJ:
I was using the port 8500 in the path from what I read in the CF Forum.
Both http://localhost and http://127.0.0.1 give me the the welcome to PWS page so PWS is working.
Neither http://localhost/test/cfpage.cfm
or
http://127.0.0.1/test/cfpage.cfm work I get error 404 File not found. The same is true for http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
and
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
The test file's path is C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\test\

http://127.0.0.1:8500/test/cfpage.cfm gives me "Page cannot be displayed, Can't find server". I tried this URL because some dude last summer went through this web_root thing on the CF Forum and it worked for him.

dmurdock, you must remove
<attribute name="deactivated">true</a
in order to make port 8500 working. restart CF (or your PC) if necessary.

Thanks for the points. I think you'd better post your CF question here to get more CF expert helps.

Make sure PWS is installed and running:

http://localhost
http://127.0.0.1
try:
http://localhost/test/cfpage.cfm
or
http://127.0.0.1/test/cfpage.cfm
for CF Admin try:
http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
or
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
