Browser preview

Can anybody help a complete beginner in ColdFusion MX7.?
I have downloaded the trial version and have set up my site according to the
"Getting Started" notes.
Everytime I try to preview the index.cfm page I get the following error
message:

Element LOCALE is undefined in REQUEST.


The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\gettingstarted\Applicatio n.cfm:
line 1

1 : <cfif request.locale neq "jp" and request.locale neq "ja">
2 : <cfset request.locale = "en">
3 : </cfif>

What the hell is it telling me and can I fix it?

Where did you declare Request.Locale to begin with? The error message is telling you that you are referring to a variable that doesn't exist.

This is a bug in the Application.cfm file of the Getting Started application.
You need to replace the 1st 3 lines of the file with this:

<cfset request.locale = createObject("java",
"java.util.Locale").getDefault().getLanguage() >
<cfif request.locale neq "jp" and request.locale neq "ja">
<cfset request.locale = "en">
</cfif>
