Ben's sample files and database
I have been trying to load the sample files from Ben Forta's site, and it is very confussing what to do exactly. The book says one thing, and the folder names on his site are another. I have Cold Fusion Builder running, and a server configured. But I am now to the (chapter 6, vol 1) where having this set of files already loaded is important. Of course I have read and followed the Appendix A as instructed. At least the best I could with all the verbiage on the book and the site folder not matching.

Ben has three zip's to download:
1. owsdata.zip (contents placed in: Cold Fusion 9/db/ows location on my computer)
2. owsdbscript.zip (no mention of what I am to do with this)?
3. CFWACK9-1.zip (contents placed in: Cold Fusion 9/wwwroot/ows on my computer)
But when I run the index.cfm file from the sql folder (#3 item above) in my Cold Fusion Builder, it does not display anything in the browser window.
This is supposed to be a tool to retreive data from a database....
What am I doing wrong here?
Please help if you can.....
Thanks,
