n00b coldfusionmx question.

OK usualy I build all the files index.html and the rest of that jand I just ftp it up it to my clients webhost.........server.


Now I just setup a PC with coldfusionMX and there is alot to learn but I just want to know how to basically serv my own pages from there......test my sites.
It has Xp pro and I installed the ISS services and I chose that when I installed CFMX.

there is a folder called www.root in my CFMX is that where I drag the website files?

and what url do I type to see it..........http://127.0.0.1?

I am a pretty big n00b to CFMX but someone please show this main easy thing I'll learn the rrst from there.

Thanks

You can install CFMX to use either the CF built in Web server or IIS, Apache, etc..
If you are wanting to use IIS, install IIS prior to CFMX (you can reconfig later if you require but its not as easy).
During your install choose IIS as your web server
Once the install is complete your web root will be c:\inetpub\wwwroot (or where ever your install of IIS lives) for Apache i think its c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs

If you installed using the CFMX built in Web server then your web root will be c:\cfusionmx\wwwroot

If you installed using IIS or Apache etc then your url will be http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost

Otherwise via the built in CFMX web server it will be http://127.0.0.1:8500 or http://localhost:8500

I hope this helps you out.
Remember to install the latest updater to CFMX (currently Updater 3 downloadable form MM)

Thanks so much
