Coldfusion pages won't run on Mac OSX

I've installed CF9 on MAC OSX using the built in web-server, port 8500.
under the cfroot/www i've created a test folder. In this directory I have index.cfm adn index.html.
the HTML file runs the .cfm file displays nothing.
The CF admin/cfide... is running fine. Even the derby db's are ok.
No debugging info or anything will show.

New to cf on a mac, please assist.

thanks

What web-server are you using ? In-build CF JRUN or some other ?

Sorry about the first post, please ignore.

>>The CF admin/cfide... is running fine that is also .cfm, so your files should run... what do you have in your index.cfm ??

Also can you paste your admin / CFIDE URL and the index.cfm file URL .... (I know it is internal, just want to check the paths)...

Hi,
Html files are not processed by CFM server.
You can include an html file inside a cfm file.
Hence please access your file like http:\\localhost:8500\test\index.cfm

or

set default page to run as index.cfm in the webserver.

If you are still confused let me know what is the content of your index.html or how index.html runs index.cfm.

Thanks.

Built-in CF JRUN.

http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

and for test code in index.cfm
<cfparam name="var" default="hello">
<cfoutput>#var#</cfoutput>

and here's my address to the test dir:
http://127.0.0.1:8500/test/index.cfm

var is actually used to define variable scope inside a function and is a keyword, but it is NOT illegal to use it the way you have,

can you try

<cfset test = 'hello'>
<cfoutput> #test# </cfoutput>

Open in new window

and see if that works ?
