Before you begin the tutorial, verify that the configuration of the computer where ColdFusion is installed matches the file structure described in the following sections.
The files required to complete the Compass Travel tutorial (in Part II of this book) are installed under the web server root directory. The location of this directory varies, depending on whether you chose to configure a local third-party web server (such as IIS) or the ColdFusion stand-alone web server during installation, as follows:
The getting_started directory structure is as follows:
getting_started -db -my_app -images -new_user_database -photos -solutions
Note: When using the J2EE configuration, the cfdocs directory is under the ColdFusion web application root. For more information, see Saving your ColdFusion page.
ColdFusion MX installs two copies of the sample CompassTravel database file. The working copy is located in the db directory; a backup copy of the file is in the new_user_database directory.
To ensure that you are working with the original database file, verify that the file in the db directory has the same date as the backup file in the new_user_database directory. If the date of the file in the db directory is later than the backup file, replace the file in the db directory with a copy of the backup database.
Caution: Do not write to the database file in the new_user_ database directory. The backup file lets multiple users perform the tutorial in Part II of this book.
In each of the database subdirectories, the tutorial provides one sample database file for Microsoft Windows users and one sample database file for UNIX users. Windows users use a Microsoft Access file, and UNIX users use a PointBase file.
Note: The sample PointBase file consists of two files: compasstravel.dbn and compasstavel$1.wal. ColdFusion MX uses both of these files to work with the content in the sample PointBase database.
Save all the files that you create for the tutorial application (in Part II of this book) in the my_app directory. This directory contains one subdirectory for images. The image subdirectory contains the required image files for the tutorial application.
The photos directory contains the required photo files for the tutorial application. The solutions directory provides sample application files that you can use when building the tutorial application.
