4) why would you put that in?  Do you have "development.com" under your
control?  It's not a big deal, but it's not great practice!

First, see where the DocumentRoot variable of the server is set to, and
check that the CFIDE directory is under that... ie:

D:\apache\html\CFIDE (if D:\apache\html\ is your directory).

Not sure with apache on win, but it always helps to have everything in
the correct case (necessary on *nix).

Anyway, to answer your question, set up apache using virtual hosts. like
this:

#set this anywhere in the main body of the config file (httpd.conf)
NameVirtualHost <IP Address>:80

then at the bottom (or anywhere) set these up:

<VirtualHost <IP Address>:80>
        DocumentRoot "<dir>"
        ServerName cfmx2.development.com
        ServerAlias cfmx2.development.com *.cfmx2.development.com
        #to change where logs are placed... can be very useful
        ErrorLog "<full_path_to_error_log_file>"
        CustomLog "<full_path_to_log_file>"
</VirtualHost>

REMEMBER: if you use namevirtualhost and you specify the IP, it will
return what you have in the document root.

If this helps, then great! I cannot stress enough how important getting
the right case in apache setups is!
