I set up a mapping to run Canvas (CF-based wiki) on my machine. I have the following mapping in the CF Administrator; The physical location of the folder is correct, and the port number is accurate.
Logical Path Directory Path
------------ --------------
/canvaswiki C:\ColdFusion9\canvaswiki
When I type http://localhost:8500/canvaswiki/, I get a 404
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /canvaswiki/
I restarted CF's service to make sure that wasn't the issue, but it didn't help.
To access http://localhost:8500/canvaswiki/ from your browser, place the canvaswiki folder under C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot. The full path will be C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\canvaswiki.

These are the steps I use:
1) I created new mapping inside CF Server => Server Settings => Mapping
logical path: /mysite
directory path: /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite
2) I restarted the server
/Applications/ColdFusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion stop && /Applications/ColdFusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion start
3) Using my preferred text editor, I created test.cfm inside /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite with the following contents
<cfdump var="#CGI#">
4) I then tried viewing the new file on my browser via
localhost:8500/mysite/test.cfm
I then get a 404 error. Exact message goes like "coldfusion.runtime.TemplateNotFoundException: File not found: /mysite/test.cfm"
I checked these 2 things:
I verified that /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite is readable by everyone (755 permission)
I verified that /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite/test.cfm is readable by everyone (644 permission)
Other than creating the mapping, the other configurations I've changed are:
created datasource for my app
Enabled debugging/logging but only after I got the first 404 error
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? or perhaps other settings I should've set? I've added a screenshot of the mappings section below.
Thanks!
Edit: I'm using the built-in webserver provided by the standalone/developer edition. I'm also using localhost.
What you are attempting to do is not what ColdFusion mappings are for. ColdFusion mappings are used by ColdFusion code to access files. What you are attempting to do via a request like localhost:8500/mysite/test.cfm is access a folder through your web server. What you need to do for that is create a "virtual directory" using your web server admin.
You did not specify which web server you are using but it should be very easy to find documentation on how to accomplish what you need by searching your "web server name create virtual directory".
Here are a couple of examples for IIS and Apache.
IIS Virtual Directory
Apache Alias
If you are using the builtin Tomcat server, as we can assume by the use of localhost and port 8500, then follow the directions documented on the following page under the Adding a virtual directory for ColdFusion using the built-in Tomcat application server section.

I have set up ColdFusion 9, as this is an old system, and have to change the host path. All of the code is already there, but it does not work because the path is wrong and it keeps redirecting.
The current default path is localhost:8500, but I need it to redirect to localhost:8500/newdir/. I thought by changing my systems32\drivers\etc\hosts file this would work, but it hasn't.
Windows with internal server for ColdFusion9, Apache.
Would like to redirect the host.
You need to edit the Mappings in the Server Settings section of the ColdFusion Administration.
Add a Mapping with / as the Logical Path and the physical path of /newdir as the Directory Path.
Setting up production lucee box, having issues locating ajax library in lucee server. My browser unable to find ajax library showing 404 error.
I am not sure this is because of firewall or lucee server configuration issue.
My development and staging working fine only having issue in production server.

Please advise..
With an Adobe CF server, the JS files related to cfajaxproxy are in the /CFIDE/scripts/ folder. The /CFIDE/ folder is removed from public access when the server is locked down. To allow access to the JS files for the UI and ajax tags, you can specify an alias in CF Admin for that folder.
For example, /cfjs would map to /CFIDE/scripts in CF Amin, so CF will generate that path for cfajaxproxy use. You'd have to create this folder alias in IIS or whatever web server you're using.
If on Lucee, the folder /lucee/core/ is blocked when locked down, there should be a similar solution for that engine.
I just installed ColdFusion 11 on a Windows 2008 server. After installation, I got the message to proceed with configuration using the link
http://foo.com:80/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
where foo.com is 127.0.0.1
However, it keeps rejecting the userid and password I provided during installation for administrator.
Any help is highly appreciated.
This blog entry should help you: Troubleshooting ColdFusion Admin Login Issues.
You can also try the following quick workarounds:
Try an alternate browser (issue primarily occurs with IE).
Try alternative address
http://127.0.0.1:port_no/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm or
http://localhost:port_no/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm or
http://ip:port_no/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm.
Try the passwordreset.bat and then try with the same ip or loopbak ip
address.
Enable internal/built port for ColdFusion and then try
http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm, where 8500 is
the internal port for ColdFusion.
Note: Enabling internal/built port would require a ColdFusion Application Server restart.

The issue is happening because of mime type (.air) entry specified in the web.config of the webroot.
Can you try the following steps:-
Navigate to the webroot of your site.
Take a backup of web.config and open it with text editor (notepad etc)
Comment the entry for mimeType extension of ".air" like <!--<mimeMap fileExtension=".air"
mimeType="application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip"
/>-->
Save the file and restart IIS.
Launch CF Admin and try to login.
Commenting out the .air type in site specific web.config file has resolved the issue.
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.
Hopefully you installed IIS first and were happy it was working before installing CF.
Try connecting to your IIS on http://localhost
You should get the default IIS .htm landing page , probably index.html or something, so at least you know IIS is working fine.
If you then try http://localhost/nosuchpage.htm you will see a 403 error (as long as you didnt specify to allow directory browsing). In the standard IIS error page you should be able to see
Physical Path D:\inetpub\wwwroot
or wherever IIS thinks your web root is. When you then install CF to use IIS (rather than standalone) it will use this path as your web root.
Rename your index.html file as index.cfm and connect to it on
http://localhost:8500/index.cfm
If vanilla html pages are working from the directory but .cfm pages are not then you probably need an CFIDE mapping (I think one quick workaround is simply to copy your CFIDE folder and drop it into web root).
What happens if you try typing this in as a url:
http://{your i.p. address}:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
I bet it works
