Creating a ColdFusion project

The Project Builder wizard guides you through the steps of creating a ColdFusion project.

    Enter project information

    1. Right-click in the Navigator area and click New > ColdFusion Project.

    2. In the Project Builder wizard, specify the project name.

    3. To change the default project location, deselect Use Default Location.

    4. Click Next to specify the ColdFusion server details.

    Enter server details

    1. Select a server from the Server pop-up menu. If you have not configured a ColdFusion server, then click Add Server to add a server. For more information about setting up a ColdFusion Server, see Adding ColdFusion servers.

      Note: If the project is in the server web root, then the Sample URL box is automatically populated with the server URL. For example, http://127.0.0.1:8500/eval, where 127.0.0.1 is the server host, 8500 is the port number, and eval is the project name.

    2. Specify your preview settings to use an external web browser by selecting a web browser installed on your computer. The internal browsers are selected, by default.

    3. Click Next.

    Add existing sources

    1. In this step, you can:

      • Link existing resources folder to the project.

      • Select previously configured applications, such as Model Glue, with the current project.

    2. Click Add to select the folder to link to the project.

    3. Click Finish to build a new ColdFusion project.
