Noob.. installing CF10, Developer, says I don't have permissions to for my Startup Items folder, but I'm the only user. Is it because my MacOSX password is (purposely) blank?

Also.. "Enter the username and password for remote start/stop administration." ... does this mean create one or that I should have one (from where?).  I do use a CF host (YoHost) ... is it that info?

Like I said... Noob!

Just trying to deploy a new app and use my Mac to test... is this possible or is a remote server a required component?

Can you check permission to /Library/StartupItems by using getInfo or the ls -al command. If your user account has no write or execute permission, you can modify permission to the directory in the getInfo windows or with the chmod.

When insalling CF if you choose to install the admin component for remote start/stop, you are required to specify a password for , new of course, for the component. This Component is used to remotely start/stop the server from applications such as Server Manager, Instance Manager in ColdFusion Administrator, or ColdFusion Builder.
