Using localhost doesn't work for me right now because, is seems, that I assigned a domain name using host headers to my default website in IIS. (Don't know if you're using IIS or not)
But to get to the CF Admin, I had to use: http://www.mydomain.com/cfide/administrator/index.cfm Hadn't had that happen before, but usually I don't set up a host headers for the default website, but needed to in this case for access to folders in my wwwroot via the domain in the url above. Perhaps this might be of help.
