Hi

I'm new to dynamic websites, can I just ask,

I am planning on building a basic shopping site with CF and MYSQL, can I just ask what MAMP is? and apache and PHP MYADMIN?

Will CF work with MYSQL without anything else?

    MAMP:
    http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp.html
    Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP.
    If you're going to use CF to build your shopping site, you don't need MAMP.

    Apache:
    http://httpd.apache.org/
    Web server. Comes with Mac OS X, so it's already installed.

    PHPMyAdmin:
    http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php
    MySQL Database administration tool. Written in PHP, so you'll need PHP running in order to use it.

    Yes, CF will work with MySQL without anything else. Once you're ready to have actual users hit your website, you'll want to put CF behind Apache. All PHPMyAdmin does is make it easier to administer your MySQL databases. However, you can do that without PHPMyAdmin, it's just less point-and-click.

    Where are you going to host the website?

    I haven't selected a host yet, could you recommend one that supports both CF and MySQL?

    Also could you just explain what you mean when you say "Once you're ready to have actual users hit your website, you'll want to put CF behind Apache."

    Why would I do this and how?

    Thanks
