new Download Coldfusion Builder 2

[iccsi]

I just download ColdFusion Builder 2 and insatll on my computer and setup the server for new project.

I do not have C:\ColdFusion 9 on my computer when I wanted to add a server.

It seems that I need install ColdFusion Server to try to create a new project.

Am I right? Can I use IIS as my local web erver and testing?

If I need ColdFusion Servver then where I can download and install and test on my local machine.

Your help is great appreciated,

No, you do not need CF9 installed (or at all) to create a project. When it prompts you to set up a server just choose "finish".  You only need to set up a server if you want to use the CB2 functionality that uses it (like extensions, RDS data view, RDS file view, Debugging, etc).

Thanks for helping,

I got no server configure when I click on IE or Firefox tab.

Are there any place to configure database server?

I have mySQL database server.

Thanks again,

Yeah, that would be one of those features that requires a ColdFusion server. You can't view what a page will look like without a server to process it, right?  So you'll either need to install and configure a local CF server, or connect to a remote server (which would require the files to be uploaded).

Typically, if someone is going to use the FireFox and IE tabs they will have a local CF server installed and configured.

Once you have a CF server ready to go you can connect your project to it by right clicking on the project and choosing "Properties". In there you can add a new server and assoiate it with a project.

Oh and to connect to your DB server using CFB2's RDS dataview you need to do it *through* a CF server, so, again,  you need to probably get a local CF server installed. CFB2 does not talk directly to a DB server (unless you have a plugin added to do that).

And to answer one of iccsi's first questions in the thread, CF is totally free for development. I can be downloaded via a link to the developer edition at coldfusion.com, or more specifically at http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-developer.html.
