Question

Cold Fusion 9 - New to CF

My local machine has Windows XP and IE 7 installed.  I've installed CF 9 local host on the same machine and have the following questions:

1.  What are the requirements to install CF 9 on a machine like mine?
2.  When I launch the builder; open up the page from a project and click on the tab "IE"; I get the following error:
  "No server is configured with project PROJ that contains the file page1_cfm.cfm.  Configure a server using ColdFusion Server Settings."

Proj is my project
page1_cfm.cfm is the page in PROJ project.

thanks you in advance.

    That's funny, because I'm using ColdFusion and would like to know what Gmax is for future reference.

    Rick, your problem in CFBuilder has only to do with proper configuration of CFBuilder (to know how to connect to your server), rather than any problem with your CF configuration. See the CFBuilder docs for how to create projects, configure servers (within Builder) and then connect your project to a server. That will allow you to do the browsing internally, because in defining the server you define the URL to get to that server, which is what Builder needs help with.

    I'll note that you can also right-click on a project (or directory or file) in CFBuilder (on a CF page opened with the CFML editor) and use "Set URL Prefix" to set a URL for it to use even without setting up a Server configuration.

    Assuming you have no problems browsing CF pages outside of CFBuilder, that's been your issue, rather than the discussions that have ensued about where to place files (which is itself a common, but different problem, as long as you are able to browse pages from outside of CFBuilder.)

    Hope that helps.

    If you are creating cf templates, then you need to save those files in the www folder within the coldfusion folder. Then to open them in a browser, the url would be localhost:8500/your-file-name.cfm localhost is your local machines browser and 8500 is I think the default port the CF server listens to.

    In the following screenshot; I have code that displays message box. The red circle on the top is on 'Run' button.  When I click on it to run the page; i get the error I mentioned in previous posting.

    I don't understand when you asked me to copy the page in the www folder within the coldfusion folder.  Currently, i see two folders in WWWRoot:

    CFIDE

    cfdocs

    Where do I copy the page/file?

    your folder PROJ, which I am assuming is the name of your folder,  should be stored inside the wwwroot folder inside the Coldfusion folder. When  browsers request a page that has a server side language in it, if it doesnt know where the CF server is, then CF wont process the coldfusion tags into html.

    Currently, i see two folders in WWWRoot:

    CFIDE

    cfdocs

    You should create a new folder there along with those two. PROJ or whatever you want to name your site.
