Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Getting Started / November 2006

Hi There

I have tried many times to install coldfusion. I've tried version 6.1 I've
tried version 7. I've tried on Windows XP, I`ve tried on Mac OSX, and every
time the install hangs, or I end up with startup errors. Anyway to make things
short I have given up on trying to install coldfusion locally. So my question
is...my webhost account is on coldfusion and i want to learn Coldfusion Can I
simply try and test coldfusion pages on my webhosts server, or do I have to
install Coldfusion locally. I did a search to find  any beginner documentation
on how to do this but all the tutorials I can find explain what to do after you
install coldfusion locally. Any help would be great.

Thanks
Cam:confused;
