Installing developer edition

Question

I have a PC using Vista Home edition and I have Dreamweaver 8
installed.
I downloaded the developer edition and installed it as a
standalone. At the end of the installation process when I see the
message "Step 1 completed successfully" (or similiar to that), I
click on the "done" button to log in to the administrator and I get
an error message saying it can't find
http://127.0.1:8500/CFIDE/admnistrator/index.cfm.
I tried the url
http://localhost/ and that didn't
work.
Edited original message:
I got to thinking that maybe it was the Vista firewall
causing the problem so I added port 8500 and configured it to allow
127.0.0.1:8500. I uninstalled and then re-installed. It didn't
help. I ran into the same problem.
However, the CF administrator did load in the browser. I
entered my password and it took a long time, but the server did
configure. I don't know if adding the port helped because I tried
entering my password before and it took such a long time, I thought
it was stuck on the configuration. Maybe I never had a problem to
begin with.

Answer 1

Did you try:
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Other than that I would suggest contacting Adobe Support. I
am not 100%
sure, but I think they provide free technical support for
installation
issues.
