If you are running a local webserver then just set your project root to the wwwroot, this is fine otherwise you would have to maintain 2 copies of your project. not everyone runs a local web server, some people will develop a project locally then upload it to a testing server, as you can do with Dreamweaver.
you do need entries in your local hosts file otherwise there will be no way for you to browse your local sites, unless you put each site on its own port and use http://localhost:port/ which will just get confusing, much better to use host headers. Remember you can use REAL domain name, so you can use dev.realdomain.com for each site. -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : Business hosting services & solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com : ColdFusion developer community www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine sky ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347470 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
