There isn't that much involved in setting up CF with Apache on Windows. All
you have to do is add the line for the Apache module in httpd.conf (which it
sounds like you've done) and put the CFIDE directory in the document root of
your web server. I suspect your problem is a Java applet problem, unrelated
to your install procedure. The browse functionality in CF Administrator is
provided by the CFTREE Java applet. You might try it with another browser.

Again, I think your install is fine. I haven't worked with MyODBC on
Windows, but I suspect that CF just can't work directly with creating and
managing datasources using that driver. This isn't the end of the world -
you should be able to create MyODBC datasources in the Control Panel, and
still be able to use them. Try this, and let me know if it doesn't work.
