Tgirl, I also just thought to ask are you on a VPN? When I'm on my VPN, I cannot access localhost as they have it locked down. I have to disconnect from VPN for it to work OR use my IP address as Scott is recommending below in #2.

It should work with the built in webserver for development. You can try a couple of things 1) http://127.0.0.1:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm 2) Run IPConfig from the command line. Find out what the IP address is for the machine that you're installing on, and use that IP instead of 127.0.0.1 3) Run netstat from the command line and find out what port ColdFusion is actually running on. As far as I know, You can build reports without ColdFusion running, but in order to view, test and set up any needed datasources you need the ColdFusion server running. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer http://www.sstwebworks.com/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310203 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
