Many thanks, Jenny, for the help last night! So, far, however, nothing has solved the problem. I removed all 172... IP's, but that didn't help get localhost working. I worked some more with permissions, since some of the error messages related to that, but couldn't come up with any access permissions that solved the locahost issue, either.
At this point, I'm going to follow Russ Michael's suggestion and delete the default web site and create a new one and see if the current one is corrupt. If you read this, Russ, any caveat's for this process of deleting the default web site? (Totally inexperience with this action...haven't ever had to do this....) -----Original Message----- From: Jenny Gavin-Wear [mailto:jenn...@fasttrackonline.co.uk] Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2011 11:44 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Can't open cfadmin after installing CFBuilder Beta 2 Rick and I worked through this problem last night. We got rid of the IPV6 and that got the localhost pinging correctly, then we encountered problems with IIS 7. If you have IPV6 installed a ping to local host will reply with :::1 instead of the usual 127.0.0.1 address. Rick had been advised to use a 172. series IP address to his config, even though his LAN is on 192.168.x. He'd also been told to add lines to the host file for each web site he works on pointing to the 172 IP. Rick is in the process of getting rid of the 172. IP and reconfiguring IIS7. Hopefully that will fix the problem. If you ever need to set up a line in the hosts file to point to a site in development on your own PC, all you will ever need to point at is the 127.0.0.1 local (loopback) IP. Naturally, you'll be the only one able to access the site. If you want more people to be able to access the site either set up a new dns record for it within your domain pointing to the fully qualified IP address, or if you just want people on your LAN to see it, point it to your servers local IP address. There are three IP address ranges reserved for LANs. Class A 10.x.x.x, Class B 172.16.x.x and Class C 192.168.1.x. The only difference in these classes is the maximum number of IP's they each make available. Typically, for example, Class A is only used by large corporates using a large VPN.
