Coldfusion- problems with previewing pages of tutorial

[onoff21]

Hey,

I'm a total newbie to Coldfusion (mostly working with Html and flash) and I've
been following the tutorials for getting started (the tutorial shows how to
build a simple database driven art gallery). When I go to preview the index.cfm
file in my browser the following message comes up:

Element LOCALE is undefined in REQUEST.

The error occurred in
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\CFIDE\gettingstarted\Applica tion.cfm: line 1

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

Please try the following:

* Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the
correct syntax.
* Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.
