New to CF: What do I need to get started to update a website developed in CF?

Hi. I have been asked to update a website that was developed in Coldfusion and I am not sure how to get started. I'm very familiar with HTML and I've been studying CFML. What I need to know now is how to get started. The website is not live yet and I need to make some changes to the content. I have Dreamweaver and I know I can download Coldfusion. Can someone please explain to me what needs to be done next? After I download CF then what? How do I make changes and save them on a site that isn't live yet? Do I need to go live with the site before I make changes? Is it possible to connect to a ftp server of a site that's not live yet? The site has a domain name that's registered.

How do I get my changes to appear on a site that has already been developed but hasn't gone live yet?
Publish your changes to that site.
How you do that depends on what connection types you have to that site.  This might be done with FTP, WebDAV, Network File access or other methods.
How you view the changed content will also depend on what you mean by 'gone live'.  Is there a Domain name that points to the content?  Do you know the IP address?  Is there some temporary Domain Name?  I have used all these methods and others in the past, depending on what I was working and how it was being hosted.
These questions are most likely more definitively answered by talking to the system operators of whom ever is maintaining this web server for you.  If this is a hosting company, they may have common answers to these types of questions in a FAQ or other documentation.  If not, directing the questions at their customer support channels should yield appropriate results.
If this is not true, then my strongest suggestion would be to find a better hosting solution!

  • So, what do I need to get started?

    This is my first post, so please be gentle.
    So I want to go wireless with my broadband and iTunes.
    What do I need? Is it just, AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes or do I need a base station or both?
    Thanks for the help.
    PS: I'm loving my 5 month old iMac G5, it rocks!

    ddon_uk,
    Welcome to discussions.
    I guess "So I want to go wireless with my broadband and iTunes" means that you want to play your iTunes music library onto the stereo system, possibly in another room. Airport Express does this for you.
    But we can't help you with any other decisions on kit without just a little more info.
    How many computers do you wish to have the ability to play iTunes over the speakers ?
    Will all these computers have an Airport card installed (not essential) ?
    How far is it from the computers to the proposed location of the Airport Express ?
    Are you ADSL or Cable broadband ?
    Do you have any other networking kit (including that supplied by the ISP) ? Or any PC's / XBox's / PSP's / etc that you wish to connect to the broadband ? by Ethernet ? Or wireless ?
    So many questions and I can't promise that there won't be more. But we will get whatever you want working.

  • What do i need to get started with windows messages?

    Hello, i've searched these forums and found no answer. I would like to know how i can get started sending and recieving windows messages in labVIEW. Thanks

    LabVIEW does not support direct acces to the Windows Message Queue. I asume that you are asking this in regard to enqueued events. There are certain events which are of interested for LV and therefore they will be "passed on to LV" (simplified expression).
    If you want to have access to the Windows Message Queue manually, you have to create your own interface using MFC-based C++ wrapper. I think there are examples available for such things, but they are most often focused on specific tasks, so maybe (if available at all) they will not help you.....
    hope this helps,

  • JSP and Java Servelets, What do I need to get started?

    What do I have to download in order to start using JSP and Java Servelets? How do I test the codes after I've written something? Anyone?

    Right and you can download tomcat server from http://jakarta.apache.org/
    and do not forget to set java home path in tomcat.See it's documentation formore help on site itself.
    To test your codes for jsp put all your jsp,html,image and other resource files in tomcat's webaps's root directory.
    Put all your java class files of beans if used and servlet's class files in root's webinf's class directory.
    It will make sense to try very easy programs if u r a begineer .After starting the server post setting the java home path .(you can start it in bin directory's startup.bat file)
    All the best

  • I have a new iPod Classic 160Gb.  i have an iTunes Account, it recognizes my device but will not sync my library of music to my new iPod.  What do I need to do?

    I have a new ipod Classic 160GB.  I already have an Itunes account.  The Itunes account recognizes my device but will not sync my library to this new device.
    What do I need to do?

    Hi Amy2250,
    Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
    Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
    Good luck,
    stefanrandomly

  • My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this?

    My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there.  Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
