This is OK. It is supposed to go there. But keep in mind that generally
speaking it is not advisable to install the CF documentation on a
production server, only on test and development servers.

Well, actually, this is a ColdFusion error, so .cfm templates are found
and processed by CF Server correctly. But since documentation files are
considered a security risk you can only run them from 127.0.0.1 by design.
If you create any other directories it should work just find, just not
the cfdocs directory because that one is secured. The actual security is
in the Application.cfm file so it propagates to subdirectories of
/cfdocs, but you can remove it by deleting a few lines from the file.
