I just installed ColdFusion 11. I am pretty sure I selected the option to install the addons like Solr, but when I am in the coldfusion administrator under Data & Services, I click ColdFusion Collections and I get nothing. It won't go to the page at all. If I click on Solr Services a page will come up. If I click on ColdFusion collections and then restart the coldfusion addons I get a page that comes up saying
"Unable to retrieve collections from the Search Services.Ensure that you have installed ColdFusion Search Service and it is running."
I am assuming it means it isn't installed.
So I went to Adobe - ColdFusion Support Center : More Downloads and downloaded/installed the Windows Add-on Services Standalone Installer. I didn't change any of the settings or folders and installed it. I restarted the server. I logged back into the coldfusion administrator and I see the same thing. Nothing changed. When I go to view the file folders I have c:coldfuion11 and a c:coldfusionAdd-onServices. Should the coldfusionAdd-onServices folder been within the coldfusion11 folder?
I read you can create your collection through the administrator or through coding a page. I thought maybe I need to try it this way. So I created a page to create the collection and it did not work either.
What am I missing? Did I miss a step or something to make this work?
Any help I can get, I would appreciate.
I have a windows 2008 server.
