I'm a complete CFBuilder n00b (just installed this morning for first time).

I've been developing for years using Dreamweaver, so this is going to be a huge 
change for me.

OK, now to the problem.

I develop on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC.  I have IIS 7.5 running local versions of 
the intranet applications I develop.  I have a separate IIS web site for each 
application, and ColdFusion 9.01 is connected to IIS and all the sites work 
from a browser.  My sites run from folders under C:\WebSites.

In my hosts file, I have defined site names linked to 127.0.0.1 (local.app1 and 
local.app2).  This all works fine.

Now I have installed CFBuilder.  I configured my local server per the Adobe 
help, or at least as far as I understand.  My server shows up in the Servers 
window.

I'm confused as to how I configure a project.  Do I point the project to the 
actual website's code folder (ie: C:\WebSites\app1\wwwroot), or to the default 
folder for the project (ie: C:\Users\myUserName\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 
workspace/local.app1)?

I tried putting a copy of the codebase in the project's default folder, but I 
can't preview any pages in the Firefox or IE tabs.  I get the message:

"Selected file is not in the document root of the server.  If the project is 
not in the document root, create a linked folder to the document root 
(selecting Project Properties > ColdFusion Project)."

What am I doing wrong?  How do others set up CFBuilder with locally hosted IIS 
sites?
