ColdFusion Builder on Mac OS X 10.6.1 and Virtual Hosts

I'm not sure if my Mac development setup is like anybody else's setup but I was having issues getting the ColdFusion Builder Beta 2 working in my environment.

First, let me tell you how I have my MacBook Pro setup for development. I am using the native Apache in OS X 10.6.1 with ColdFusion 9, MySQL and PHP installed and running. I run all of my development sites out of the Sites folder and I use Virtual Hosts that are defined in the httpd-vhosts.conf file. They look like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@fordwebs.com
DocumentRoot "/Users/kenneth/Sites/builder"
ServerName builder.dev
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/builder.dev-error_log"
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/builder.dev-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

The sites are also defined in the hosts file like this:

127.0.0.1 builder.dev

The problem I was having in the ColdFusion Builder Beta 2 was in defining the Server for my Projects.

The solution that I came up with is documented on this page.

Hope that this solution helps someone else and reduces their stress level of learning and testing the ColdFusion Builder Beta 2.
