To set up a web application, you must configure your system, define a Dreamweaver site, and connect to a database. This section provides checklists for each task. The tasks are described in more detail in the rest of the chapter.
Configure your system:
Install the ColdFusion application server (which includes a web server).
Create a root folder.
Define a Dreamweaver site:
Copy the sample files to a folder on your hard disk.
Define the folder as a Dreamweaver local folder.
Define a web server folder as a Dreamweaver remote folder.
Specify a folder to process dynamic pages.
Upload the sample files to the web server.
Connect to the database:
If you're using a remote computer as a server, copy the sample database to the remote computer.
Create a ColdFusion data source in ColdFusion Administrator.
