When I try to open the Example Applications I get the "Oops. Sorry for the error..." page. I know the apps have been loaded and I also know the error is in trying to find localhost but no one here knows how to get it to find them on our server. Does anyone know if I can alter the application files in the example directories to enable me to access these.

localhost is the same as 127.0.0.1. It is the machine CF is installed on. Up until version 4.5 (I'm not sure about version 5.0) example apps can only be viewed when you work locally on the machine CF is installed on. Try this, it should work.

Julie:
If only to get to the bottom of this, yes, go to the server itself and try using localhost in place of 127.0.0.1, and then try using the machine name if that doesn't work. For some reason, 127.0.0.1 never works for me, either. Localhost works sometimes, and the machine name (server name) works most of the time. John Hoarty
