Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Getting Started / May 2006

If I understand correctly XAMPP is simply Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl all
together. If you want to use Apache as your webserver then you want to choose
the directory which is the home directory for your Apache installation. Looks
like it'd be xampp/apache/htdocs. You do not want to make it your default
ColdFusion directory. That'd be something like C:/CFusionMX7. You just need to
use your /apache/htdocs/ for web server configuration during the installation.

As with the replies to your other post - you would probably be best advised
to install CF 7 in 'standalone' mode - rather than trying to tie it in with
Apache at this stage. If you want to install apache - then probably best to
do it without the wamp package -unless you are planning on doing some php
development as well.
mysql has its own administrator, as well as query browser, which in effect
makes phpmyadmin redundant to an extent.
are you trying to replicate your hosts server configuration?
