"Performing Windows-specific configurations" on page 11

Verifying that a Web server is running

Before installing ColdFusion, check that your Web server is installed and running. You
can do this by loading a page in your Web browser using the HTTP protocol.
To check that your Web server is running:
Do one of the following actions:
Enter the URL for a Web page or site in your browser's Address field and press
Enter.
For example, if the file myindex.htm is in your Web document root directory, load
the page in your browser using the localhost URL:
http://127.0.0.1/myindex.htm
If your Web server is not running, you'll receive an error message.
Apache Web Server versions v1.3.6 or greater
If you plan to use the ClusterCATS software that is included with
ColdFusion to cluster your Linux servers, see "Linux system requirements
for ClusterCATS Server" on page 162. The ClusterCATS system
requirements may impact your overall environment requirements.
