I do run CF locally in developer mode, standalone but under IIS 7.5 (rather than the CF built-in web server). CF's document root is set to the standard default root for IIS [c:\inetpub\wwwroot]. Each site has its own folder, usually based on the domain name, and there are sub-folders under that for components, sub-sites, etc, so the main site might be [c:\inetpub\wwwroot\example.com\www] with a management console at [c:\inetpub\wwwroot\example.com\manage]. I would use host entries that point back to 127.0.0.1 for manage.example.com, dev.example.com (rather than www so I can still browse the live site, but I'd point dev.example.com to the www folder locally), etc. IIS then has each site configured to use the example.com\www folder as the webroot. Within Builder, I generally keep a separate "project" for each sub-section, so one site might have a project for the main site, a project for the management site, a project for shared components, etc. Each developer will have their own slightly different workflow, but I find this works well for me. Previously I was working on a lot of live servers, so I was using Homesite+ with FTP directly to the live servers without any sort of local development environment to speak of. I'm sure you'll a method that works well for you as well. -Jus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:347479 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
