Verify that the web server is running

Before you install ColdFusion, ensure that your web server is installed and running.

  1. Open a web browser.

  2. In the address line, enter the URL for a web page or site. For example, if the file myindex.htm is in your web document root directory, load the page in your browser, using the localhost URL, as follows:

    http://127.0.0.1/myindex.htm

    or

    http://127.0.0.1:8500/myindex.htm (built-in web server)

  3. Click Enter.

    If the web server is running, the page appears, otherwise, an error message appears.
