I installed Coldfusion 8 trial version on my system (XP Professional sp3).
I created an Folder in the “C:/Coldfusion8/wwwroot” called “buildProject” containing an Index.cfm and some other .cfm files.

But I am unable to access the Neither my project files or CFIDE/Administrator

I tried the following URLS

    http://localhost:8500/wwwroot/buildProject/ 
    http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    http:// 127.0.0.1:8500/wwwroot/buildProject/ 
    http:// 127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    http://localhost /wwwroot/buildProject/index.cfm
    http://localhost /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    http://localhost /wwwroot/buildProject/ 
    http://localhost /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8500.

*   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
      moments.

*   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
      connection.

*   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
      that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

• I cleared the browsing “History” from both IE and FF.
• I have restarted the CF server in the Control Panel >Administrative Tools > Services
• Even restarted the IIS

Getting the same error.

Further I was trying to access IE/FF via CFbuilder But still I am getting the error
“The connection was refused when attempting to contact [URL].”

    If you connected Coldfusion to IIS, then you probably need to connect on port 80. Which you did try, but if you connected Coldfusion to IIS, then the document root is IIS’s document root, not the document root you created your new directory in.

    I believe the document root for IIS on XP is c:\inetpub\wwwroot.

    So, try putting a test.cfm file in there that just contains “hello world” or something, and see if you can request it from there.
