Laura, you've had a few good suggestions, but here's a little check list
you can use:
(1) There *IS* such a file, yes? Use explorer to see if there's a file
called hello1.cfm in that folder. There ought to be because it's installed
in a default installation, but it never hurts to check the obvious.
(2) Enter http://127.0.0.1/a2z/ and see if you get a listing of the
folder. Either you wont because your web server is set up to prevent
folder listings or you should see a list of the files in that folder,
including the hello1.cfm
(3) Check that you have a mapping to that folder. Either put one in using
CF Administrator or if you're using Microsoft's Personal Web Server PWS,
double click on the icon in the sytem tray and click on advanced. You can
set up a mapping to that folder there. In my case, the mapping is like
this: a2z/ maps to f:\CFTutorial\ which is where I moved the a2z
application to.
If you're using another web server, you'll have to work out yourself how to
make a new mapping.
(4) Try using http://localhost/ ... instead of http://127.0.0.1/... If
this works, I'm not sure quite what it's telling you (which proves how much
a muddler I am) but I'd suspect you haven't got something set up right in
your ip settings somewhere. (But at least you'll be able to get on with
using CF while others help you fix that one.)
Above all, don't fret. Once you get over this setting up 'hump', the rest
of it is straightforward.
