Adobe ColdFusion 8 Web Application Construction Kit, Volume 1: Getting Started

Installing the OWS Files

The default location for ColdFusion databases is the ColdFusion database folder (the db folder under the ColdFusion root; on Windows machines, this will usually be C:\coldfusion8\db). The owsdata.zip file contains a folder named ows, which you should save in the database folder.

Install the ows.zip contents under the Web server root. If you are using ColdFusion in stand-alone mode (on Windows) using installation defaults, then the Web root will be:

c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot

If you are using Microsoft IIS, the Web root will likely be:

c:\inetpub\wwwroot
