The coldfusion user was set to nobody. I changed it to httpd in the startup 
script and still have the same problem.
I didn't know the .cfm files needed any special permissions but I changed 
them to nobody and set them to 777 without any change in the behavior.

There are no errors on .cfm pages in the apache error logs.
It looks like this is in my httpd.conf:
</IfModule>
# JRun Settings
LoadModule jrun_module 
/home/opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun.so
<IfModule mod_jrun.c>
    JRunConfig Verbose false
    JRunConfig Apialloc false
    JRunConfig Ssl false
    JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false
    JRunConfig Serverstore 
/home/opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store
    JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51010
    #JRunConfig Errorurl <optionally redirect to this URL on errors>
    AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws
</IfModule>

Interestingly there is no .cfm, .cfc or cfml in the the "AddHandler 
jrun-handler .jsp .jws" section.  However I've added those in and restarted 
httpd and still have the same problem.

Here's the output:

Well I reinstalled and I can now get to the administrator without a problem 
using the internal coldfusion webserver on 8500 but requests to valid .cfm 
pages on Apache port 80 still give me a coldfusion file not found error.
You can see it here:
http://www.rainstormconsulting.com/test.cfm
The stack trace is reporting a "TemplateNotFoundException"
Perhaps that's a clue.

Yes I saw the DEAPI error.  I'm not using Coldfusion on any SSL sites yet.

Thanks for all the help.
