1. Re: Built-In Web Server Configuration vs Third-Party Web Server?
Peter Freitag Mar 4, 2011 7:04 AM (in response to ectobuilder50)The built in web server does work great for development purposes, so if that suits your needs then go for it, you can always add a third party web server later if you need to by running the wsconfig tool.
Two reasons you might want to use Apache are:
1) You want to develop multiple virtual hosts (multiple web sites)
2) You want to have a web server that mirrors your production web server
Good luck with ColdFusion!

Dave Watts Mar 4, 2011 7:32 AM (in response to ectobuilder50)The built-in web server is sufficient for local CF development. It's what I use nowadays.
If you have web server-specific implementation details as part of your application, like URL rewriting, you'll want to use whatever web server will be used in production.

ectobuilder Mar 4, 2011 3:07 PM (in response to Peter Freitag)Thanks for your reply guys,
If I intend to use some kind of SQL-based data management system, would this change your recommendation for a Built-in Server configuration vs Third Party Web Server?
