unable to access ColdFusion Administrator

[kernel10325]

I'm just getting started with coldfusion. I bought an old book Coldfusion MX
Bible (and CD), followed the directions, and installed ColdFusion MX and its
standalone webserver. After it finished installing, I clicked a button to take
me to the ColdFusion Administrator which brought up my browser (IE7.0) pointing
to this page:

http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

It throws the following error:

==========================
I went to www.java.com and upgraded to the latest version - still no joy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Robert

Yes, that is an issue that to do with the jre used in the older versions of CF.


Personally, I would consider downloading a newer version (CF8). Though some
things will not be exactly the same as in your book. If you really want to
follow along with the book you have, try applying the hotfix in the link below.
You could also update the jvm used by CF (something like 1.4 should work). Do
not bother with the "6.1 Updater" link. It is broken/no longer available.
