ColdFusion MX server configuration directory structure

The following table describes the directories under the cf_root directory when using the server configuration:

Directory	Description
bin	Programs for starting, stopping, and viewing information for ColdFusion MX, and to run Crystal Reports (Windows only).
cache	Repository for temporary files from ColdFusion MX.
cfx	Sample C++ and Java CFX files with their supporting files. You can also store your CFX files in this directory (although you can put them in any location that is defined in your classpath).
charting	Files for the ColdFusion MX graphing and charting engine.
Custom Tags	Repository for your custom tags.
db	In Windows, the files for sample Microsoft Access databases and ODBC services. On UNIX, the files for the sample PointBase databases.
jintegra	JIntegra programs, libraries, and other supporting files (for example, to integrate Java and COM code; manage access to ActiveX controls (OCXs) that are hosted in a graphical user interface (GUI) container; and register the JVM and type libraries).
jre	(UNIX only) Files for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is bundled with ColdFusion MX for your UNIX distribution. In Windows, the files for the bundled JRE are in \runtime\jre.
lib	JAR, XML, property, and other files that are the foundation of ColdFusion MX, for functionality such as queries, charting, mail, security, Verity searches, and system probes.
logs	Repository for ColdFusion MX log files. JRE-specific log files are in the runtime\logs directory.
Mail	Repository for spooled mail and mail that cannot be delivered.
META-INF	XML metadata for the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
registry	(UNIX only) Flat file to store registry settings (this file will be obsolete in future versions of ColdFusion MX).
runtime	Programs and supporting files for the ColdFusion MX runtime. In Windows, the files for the bundled JRE are in runtime\jre.
uninstall	Files to uninstall ColdFusion MX.
verity	Verity collections. (The Verity program files are in the lib directory.)
wwwroot	Default web root directory for the built-in web server. When running on other web servers, this directory contains only the WEB-INF directory; do not remove this directory.

This table says that cf_root/jre contains the JRE for UNIX installs. This is incorrect. cf_root/runtime/jre is the JRE location for both Windows and UNIX. This is doc bug 53496.

The ColdFusion Administrator isn't working for me. I have the CFIDE Virtual Directory and i can get to http://localhost/cfide/administrator/login.cfm but when it looks for index.cfm in the administrator it gives me a 404 page not found. Why doesn't find the page if it IS right there?
