Thanks for the help, and quick response. My current guess is... I previously had TomCat installed, and I was experimenting with using IIS as the thingy for the jangy. There might be some residual stuff hanging around. This was essentially a dev box I grabbed from a pile, and powered on to test a couple of things.
So I don't quite remember its history. I may install from scratch. I am running w2k, ntfs. cleaning registry now...

The BlueDragon installer prompts for a web adapter based on registry entries. My only guess would be that IIS was installed previously and then removed, but the registry wasn't cleaned up properly. > On another box I have uninstalled ColdFusion and started to > install Blue Dragon.

Again, BlueDragon detects the presence of IIS based on registry entries--if the registry entries aren't there, then BlueDragon thinks IIS isn't there. We've seen this in one or two other cases and are putting together a set of instructions for manually installing the IIS adapter in this case. What do you mean by "the administrator crashes"? Does the BlueDragon administration console display at all or do you get an error message in the browser? Can you serve the "home page" of the built-in web server: http://localhost:8080/index.cfm For completeness, which operating system are you running? Do you have the disk formatted as NTFS or FAT32? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
