Create a new web site

I just installed CF 10 on my computer and would like to create a new web site.

I would like to know should I just create a folder at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\ or at C:\inetpub\wwwroot or any admim tool to do so.

Your help and information is great appreciated,

Regards,

Iccsi,

    Installing your website at C:\inetpub\wwwroot will make sense if you had configured ColdFusion to use IIS. In that case, you should transfer the contents of  \cfusion\wwwroot\ over to \inetpub\wwwroot\.

    If you intend to use ColdFusion's in-built webserver then, yes, you can create a new folder in C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\. The site will then be reached through an address similar to http://localhost:8500/siteFolderName. However, you may create a new web site directly in the default location, C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\.  Then the site will be reached through an address like http://localhost:8500.
