Standard Edition / Apache Server

Question

Since there exists absolutely no information that I can
find... including in the manual that came with SE, I need to know
is SE only installable as a stand alone version, which Adobe
recomends you don't run as a production server, and which during
the install of developer, the directions state that is the only way
you can run it.
I am on a MAC with Apache and MySQL set up and want to
develope Flex CF projects that I will deploy to a production server
Linux RH with CF-SE, Apache, MySQL. How can I connect my Developer
Edition so I can see my Database, I see nothing and Help has no
reference to this at all.
I installed using the Stand Alone because as I mentioned
above the directions stated that the SE can only run in that
configuration ... did I jump the gun buying SE or is there a
tutorial (since it's not in the manual) how I can get my CF install
to see my database and webserver (MAC Platform - Apache MySQL)
Thanks, I hope the answer does not have me posting a for sale
ad on Ebay.

It is intended for production use. If you have paid for a
legitimate
license, you have bought a production server. Adobe does not
sell a
ColdFusion product that is not for production.
I think you are misunderstanding the idea of 'self
contained'. There
are two major flavors of ColdFusion, with a couple so
variations on the
second flavor. Standard which is a self contained version.
With this
version the JRUN Java server that ColdFusion runs on top of
is contained
within ColdFusion. As such it is not available to run other
JAVA, J2EE,
JSP type applications. It is 100% dedicated to ColdFusion.
With the Enterprise server. JRUN is not contained with-in
ColdFusion.
It is installed independently and ColdFusion is installed
under the JRUN
server in one of three ways. Stand-alone, multi-home or J2EE
war. In
this configuration the JRUN is fully available as a Java
server and can
have any other Java, J2EE, JSP applications installed in it.
I can not speak to your mySQL issue. I have never made use of
that product.
