I'm concerned about installation. This came pre-installed. Normally with Windows I would easily reinstall but I'm not sure about drivers or even tech support. It is a Dell PowerEdge 350, it is however just a development server. Everything will be reinstalled from scratch on a new server for full

I would use /usr/local/www for the DocumentRoot and /usr/local/coldfusion for the coldfusion base. Apache is easy to change, edit the httpd.conf to show the new location of the document root. Look for the line DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs" or some such directory. Coldfusion will probably prompt

Hi, Under 7.2, the web home dir is normally under /var/www. I would try to tell the installation program to change prefix to some thing else. If that does not work, I would make a link to a directory under /usr where there is a lot of space. If it wants to create a directory called newprog under
