Coldfusion: Dreamweaver site server technology not recognised

George, you probably wont get this message you describe, but just proceed
ahead, and enter the site details in your site definition. Select CF as the
server from the drop down menu, then make sure you add the port it is
running on, in the url - like so:
http://localhost:8300/sites/mytestsite/index.cfm
Cheers,
Brendon
