248 Setup for Sample ColdFusion Site
Specifying where to process dynamic
pages
After you define the Dreamweaver remote folder, specify a folder to process
dynamic pages. Dreamweaver uses this folder to display dynamic pages and
connect to databases while you're developing your application.
To specify the folder to process dynamic pages:
1. In the advanced Site Definition dialog box, click Testing Server in the
Category list.
The Testing Server screen appears. Dreamweaver needs the services of a
testing server to generate and display dynamic content while you work.
The testing server can be your local computer, a development server, a
staging server, or a production server, as long as it can process
ColdFusion pages. In many situations, including setting up for the
Cafe Townsend site, you can use the same settings as the Remote Info
category (see "Defining a remote folder" on page
point to a server capable of processing ColdFusion pages.
2. Select ColdFusion from the Server Model pop-up menu.
3. In the Access pop-up menu, select the same method (Local/Network or
FTP) that you specified for accessing your remote folder.
Dreamweaver enters the settings you specified in the Remote Info
category. Leave the settings unchanged.
4. In the URL Prefix text box, enter the root URL you would enter in a
web browser to request a page in your web application.
To display live data in your pages while you work, Dreamweaver creates
a temporary file, copies it to the website's root folder, and attempts to
request it by using the URL prefix.
Dreamweaver makes a best guess at the URL prefix based on the
information you provided in the Site Definition dialog box. However, if the
suggested URL prefix is incorrect, correct the URL or enter a new URL
prefix. For more information, see "Setting the URL prefix" in Using
Dreamweaver.
