Configuring your system (ColdFusion)

Configuring your system (ColdFusion)

This section provides instructions for two common system configurations: one in which ColdFusion is installed on your hard disk, and one in which ColdFusion is installed on a remote Windows computer. To use a different configuration, see Setting up a web application in Using Dreamweaver.

The following illustration shows the two configurations described in this section:

This image shows the components of the following configurations: a local configuration for Windows users, and a remote server configuration for Macintosh and Windows users.

To configure your system:

Install the ColdFusion application server (see Installing ColdFusion MX 7).
Create a root folder (see Creating a root folder).

NOTE

Installing the application server is a one-time-only task.
