Question

Bind in CFGrid stops working, needs Connectors reinstalled

I have a relatively simple page that uses a CFGRID populated by a bind to a CFC. The page works fine, but suddenly will stop working. The page does not display or log any errors, but the grid simply does not populate. I added a log file in the CFC called by the bind to confirm that the CFC simply isn't being called.
(I'm using CF 8 on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6)

Again, this is a working page that just stops working. Out of complete frustration and stab in the dark late last night I uninstalled the IIS connectors for CF8 and re-installed them. Magically the bind began working again. Then this morning, the bind stopped functioning until I repeated the connector re-install.

I should add that binds on pages on other websites on the same server continue to work fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.

    I can confirm that websites created since CF8 was installed don't have the virtual directories CFIDE or CFDOCS created. I'm not sure if they should, but they don't and the CFGRID bind won't work without them.

    The only other possibly related issue I'm having is that when binding a cfc to a CFGRID as mentioned above, the first row returned by CFGRID is not recognized when submitting the form. So if I select the first row and submit, say to pull up details on the record in the first row, CFGRID does not pass any data. I've yet to find a solution. Thanks,

    I think I've figured out the problem - hopefully this helps someone else.

    The website affected is the first new website (first created in IIS) since I upgraded to CF8. When new websites are created, the CFIDE and CFDOCS virtual directories are not automatically created anymore. Perhaps this is a bug, maybe something in my server setup; I haven't had time to figure it out.

    But to solve the problem I manually created the CFIDE virtual directory in IIS for this website and it mostly fixed the problem.
