Thanks and I really appreciate the detailed response. However, I steer clear of anything that I can't zip up and show to my boss with a one click startup. A good example of a one clicker is Server2go. I can run it and set up any php/mysql cms (Joomla!, Drupal etc) without having to set-up a database or tables.
I could set up mysql or postresql on my machine but the fun stops when I try to take it to work and show others. My technical skills don't stretch that far no there's. Coldfusion is great and has a lot of potential (e.g. FarCry) but if the backend is only 3/4 ready to install it loses the 'how easy is this to run' factor that non tech's are looking for. I'll still try to get it to work (and again thanks for your response) but a 'standalone' installation should include the db server.
