Question

after testing server - file placement on production server

I have designed a dynamic Admin Section using ColdFusion 8 that I want to integrate into a currently static HTML site.
I used Dreamweaver CS3 to design and develop both the dynamic section and the static HTML portion and used ColdFusion 8 Developer Edition as my testing server. My database is MS ACCESS 2002-03. The dynamic Admin Section will be used by administrators of a summer arts camp to input student and faculty data into a database and to output reports.

I am now ready to put the integrated site online. I have a Hosting Company that has ColdFusion 8 availability. I have uploaded the static portion of the site via FTP and the HTML portion operates fine. I am not sure about the placement of files using the ColdFusion 8 application server of the Hosting Company and I am not knowledgeable as how to get my dynamic Admin Section operational. Any suggestions, instructions, or reference to available resources would be appreciated. Thanks! A Novice Developer! Joe

I can only but assume that you have problems executing your cfc's because cfm pages are supossed to run by default unless the admin page of your hosted site requires you to enable coldfusion or you may need to contact the web host support. But in normal circumstances cfm pages should run you can test it by trying a .cfm page and see if it executes. Likely though is that cfc's may require mapping you should be able to configure this in your web host admin page and you simply map any folder that contains cfc's. If you still have issues make sure your code properly invokes the cfc you may need to enter the root folder that is not required in development environments. If you still have issues remember to post the debugger information if you need to enble it use <cfsetting showDebugOutput="true">
