Setting up a new site

Hi All -

I use Dreamweaver currently and I want to switch over to CFBuilder, but I can't get my server set up properly. I have network access to the drives on the server where the content lives. When I create a site in Dreamweaver, everything makes sense to me, but when I create a 'server' (I work on about 5 sites, all on the same server) I get confused by 'host name', 'context root', 'application server name'. Is there some documentation somewhere that tells me what to do?

I guess I should also note that we are on CF8.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

   Rob

Hi Rob,

I guess your scenario is of a remotely running server having 5 sites/virtual hosts.

For this you need to add a remote server. You can refer to this for adding the same: http://blogs.adobe.com/cfbuilder/2009/07/remote_server_setup_is_it_real.html

Once this is done you can go to the Virtual Host Settings Tab and add your sites.

You can then associate your Project with the virtual hosts and work on them.

Thanks for the link, and the instructions. I guess I need to decide if I want to attempt this on our production server, or I guess I could wait until we are on CF9, which will hopefully be soon.

Thanks!

Am I required to run the CFBuilder admin code on the server? I am hesitant to do this because it is our production server.
