Creating a root folder

After the server software is installed, create a root folder for your web application on the system running ColdFusion, and make sure the folder has the necessary permissions.

To create a root folder for your web application:

• Create a folder called MySampleApps in the CFusionMX7\wwwroot folder on the system running ColdFusion.

  NOTE

  Write down this folder name for later use. When you type it later, be sure to use exactly the same capitalization that you used when you created it.

By default, ColdFusion sets up its web server to serve pages from the CFusionMX7\wwwroot folder. The web server will serve any page in this folder or in any of its subfolders in response to an HTTP request from a web browser.

After configuring your system, you must define a Dreamweaver site. See Defining a Dreamweaver site (ColdFusion).
