I am just starting out with ColdFusion. I set up Apache HTTP Server, ColdFusion and ColdFusion builder, and have been able to browse through the directory structure (localhost/cfide/..., etc.), but when I try to open a .cfm file, I am given the following message

Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Could not connect to JRun Server.

I have opened the JRun management console and it is giving me the same error.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this would be very helpful

Sounds like jrun is not running.

Check your running processes, if it's not there - try starting it manually. If that fails & it's still not there, check your error logs to see why.

[what is the environment?]

Thanks. I am trying to reconfigure my CF environment after doing a hard restart due to a system freeze (as now apache server, JRun and CFBuilder all seem to be misconfigured/missing files/unable to locate each other) and having practically no experience with any of it is really slowing me down. If I could ask, what is the relationship/interaction between JRun4 and Apache Server. Also, I am reinstalling Apache Server (since the htdocs directory is missing for some reason). Last time when I installed it I put "localhost" as both network domain and server name. Do you know if that is appropriate? – alex28 Jul 14 '11 at 16:41

The interaction/relationship of JRun4 and Apache is really simple: an Apache module (the JRun4 connector) runs inside the Apache process and communicates with the JRun server (a different process) over a network socket. They speak some protocol, the details of which are irrelevant. – Clint Miller Jul 14 '11 at 17:09
Thanks! Also, do you know what the proper naming configuration for Network Domain and Server Name fields is? – alex28 Jul 14 '11 at 17:27
