need help urgent, setup CF

i am a beginner and this is what i have done so far.



1.i have installed ms IIS and dreamweaver mx and cold fusion mx.



2. i start the IIS and i save the test cf file under inetpub/wwwroot/james

ps.. my syntax for the CF is ok cause i copied it from macromedia website



3. I start IIS , then i start cold fusion .bat file to start the server.



4. after i create a default website on the dreamweaver i do all the settings and

test the url for myself, on the creating and tesing of the webserver.



5.I created a DataBase in access.



6.i copied the DB to one the wwwroot/ folder, one dir above the folder for my

CF files.



7.i have not firewall on my pc just norton antivirus and i diable it.



PROBLEMS

1.when i try to view my cold fusion page on the web it displays things that it should not, like the variables for my database and not the records themselves.



2.when i try to view the administrator page to try to create a datasource, it

shows nothing when the webpage shows up.



3."perhaps the more critical one", when i start the cold fusion server, i look at the dos screen and i see that the server starts but has some exceptions like

null.pointer.exception, and service not available exception, and in the beginning it when the server start is something to do with the security exception on valid key.



It would be greatly appreciated if anyone out there can help
 
Are you a jodohost customer? If so, why are you installing IIS/ColdFusion on your PC?

If you are just trying to install CF on your computer so you can develop/test applications before uploading to jodohost, you don't need IIS installed -- the developers version of MX has a built in web server.

If you're trying to install IIS/ColdFusion on your PC so you can serve websites out to the internet yourself rather that using a hosting co. like jodohost, it's well out of my depth.
 
ok i installed cold fusion mx

now its comes with jrun.

and u say that i dont neet to run IIS rite, according to what
u said.

i have not tried that , perhaps that may work.

i needed for work b/c i still dont have rites to upload cf code
so i need it to be localy so i can learn CF , mainly for testing with DB apps.

but i will try the not starting the IIS and see if that works.
