I recently installed CF 5.0 on a new computer system running Windows XP Pro. Anonymous access to the web server is not working when trying to access for example http://127.0.0.1/index.html. I.e., I can't get around the requirement for a User Name and Password Access using the dir\filename, as below, works. http://localhost/index.html and c:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.html All of the documentation that came with CF 5.0 and that I can find on the Macromedia.com Web site addresses Win 95, 98, NT and 2000. Some of the directories, file names, etc. described for those OS's don't appear to have different names or are in different locations in XP Pro Any help would be appreciated?
