Is there a guide for starting coldfusion development on Ubuntu?

Question

I have successfully installed coldfusion on Ubuntu 13.10, but as a newbie to Ubuntu I am looking for a guide on the best way to continue from here?
For example, I can view the CFADMIN at "http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm", but am having difficulties viewing test documents placed in the wwwroot folder.

Dear Anit
Thank you so much for all the help!  The general guide on the differences immediately solved one problem once I changed the name of "application.cfm" to "Application.cfm"
I am far from a "power user", but am enjoying the learning process.  Inevitably I find that most of my encountered problems are associatied with permissions.
For a few brief years I was a cf developer, but now work in the tennis field at a large club.  I developed an application which saved me hours and hours of work, and this application has become a key element in the whole summer program.  Unfortunately, after migrating to CF10 from CF9 I can no longer connect to smtp.gmail.com (after hours and hours of searching for a work-around).  Luckily I still had the same application on an older laptop, which was using CF9 ... and so I was still able to work as I wanted.
I decided to partition my new laptop to see if CF10 would work as I needed on Ubuntu.... which explains my intial posting.
I am very happy to report that, with your help, I have had success.  For the record this is what I did
after installing Ubuntu I followed this great guide:  http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache-and-coldfusion-9-on-ubuntu-9.04 (of course installing the downloaded CF10 and not CF9)
BUT, the apache connector didn't work for me. (this was before the above posting of Anit's ... and as a Ubuntu newbe I couldn't see any way forward)
so I uninstalled coldfusion and reinstalled ... as a standalone server
no problem at all viewing the CF Admin page
after installing and running msql, I imported my club database and application files
not a problem creating the appropriate datasource within CF Admin
BUT, I couldn't view my application in a browser after moving it to the "wwwroot" folder
finally I (fortuitously) changed the permissions on this application folder so that I had appropriate rights ... which had a GUI allowing me to do so, otherwise I think I never would have done it alone!
Immediately I could view index.cfm, but then I would have a DATASOURCE error when I drilled down
Once I saw that "application.cfm" had to have a capital "A" i.e. "Aplication.cfm" everything worked
went to "mail" under CF Admin. Verifying my mail server was at first annoying.  Port 465 with TLS checked didn't work ... but then port 587 verified!
a test email to myself using my application in the browser proved successful...yay!
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
Again Anit, thank you for your help!
