If you're a Windows user and want to develop ColdFusion applications, you can instead use the web server installed with the developer edition of the ColdFusion MX 7. For more information, see Appendix C, "Setup for Sample ColdFusion Site," on page 237. IIS may already be installed on your computer. Check your folder structure to see if it contains a C:\Inetpub or D:\Inetpub folder. IIS creates this folder during installation. If the folder does not exist, install IIS. For more information, see "Installing Internet Information Server" on page 232. If you're a Macintosh user interested in developing PHP applications, you can use the Apache web server already installed on your Macintosh. For more information, see "Testing the Macintosh web server (PHP developers)" on page 233. Installing Internet Information Server Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional users should install Internet Information Server (IIS). If you're a Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional user, check whether IIS is already installed and running on your system. The way to do this is to look for the C:\Inetpub folder. If it doesn't exist, IIS is probably not installed on your system. To install IIS on Windows 2000 and XP Professional: 1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, or Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. 2. Select Add/Remove Windows Components. 3. Select Internet Information Services (IIS) and click Next. 4. Follow the installation instructions. You can test the web server after installing it. 232 Installing a Web Server
