Hi All,

I have couple days trying to configure this new MAC with FB 4.7 and ColdFusion 10.

Alex was helping me to debug this issue but I still cannot figure this out, sorry no an expert in MAC or apache.

http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Flex-amp-CF-on-MAC-OSX-10-8-4-td2614.html

Here is the way I configured the CF in MAC:

http://iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2013/2/27/Installing-ColdFusion -10-on-OSX-108-Mountain-Lion

So my web server is:

  • [ localhost:cfusion ] Apache : /private/etc/apache2

The article said that I can use "/Users/myUserName/Sites" as my web root, or not? I am confuse.

I am trying to configure my project for Flash Builder4.7, in windows for CF9 and IIS i set:

ColdFusion root folder: c:/ColdFusion9

Web root: c:/inetpub/wwwroot

Root URL: http://localhost/

Output folder: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/myTest-debug

So far I figure this in MAC

ColdFusion root folder: /Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion

Web root: ???

Root URL: http://localhost/

Output folder: This should be the same as the web root.

I hope this is clear. Thanks!

    I found this article:

    http://coolestguyplanettech.com/downtown/install-and-configure-apache-mysql-php-and-phpmyadmin-osx-108-mountain-lion

    It helps to understand that "OSX has historically had 2 web roots one at a system level and one at a user level."

    System Level:

         /Library/WebServer/Documents/

         http://localhost/

    User Level:

         /Users/username/Sites/

         http://localhost/~username/

    Also explain how to change permissions.

    I want to use the user level, do I need to copy the CFIDE folder into /Users/username/Sites/?

    Yeap, copying the CFIDE folder to /Users/username/Sites/ fixed the issue.
