I have tried to install Coldfusion 8 and coldfusion 7 mx on my dell dimension 4700. Both times I got this message at the end of the installer. I was only trying to install the built in server.
"however, the adobe coldfusion 8 service does not appear to be running, the web server connectors did not install sucessfully, and the web server and/or website could not be reached on port 80. Possible reasons include the Adobe ColdFusion 8 service failed to start, the 2930 or 51800 ports are blocked, or the web server and / or website is not running or is not configured to listen on port 80 in which case this is not an error. 1. consult the installation guide about how to manually configure the web server connector 2 ensure that any firewall software blocking ports 2930 or 51800 is disabled 3 ensure that the adobe cold fusion 8 service is started 4 manually configure your web server connectors 5 ensure that your web server and websites are started 6 continue your installation by logging in to the configuration wizard at http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm" I tried to manually start the coldfusion 8 application server and when I did that i got this message "Windows could not start the ColdFusion 8 Application Server on Local Computer, For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to teh service-specific error code 2." I've searched through adobe's coldfusion support site and can't find any reason why this is happening does anybody know what is causing this error? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
