I can't find my CFIDE folder. My website is working fine with no errors, But can't locate the CFIDE folder. Is there a way I can find where the CFIDE lives?

CFadmin > Server Settings > Mappings should point to CFIDE
EG:
  Logical Path   Directory Path 
    /CFIDE    D:/ColdFusion10/cfusion/wwwroot/CFIDE

or another example

Logical Path   Directory Path 
    /CFIDE    D:\JRun4\servers\ProdBeta\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\CFIDE

Just do beware: while that mapping does point to where CF thinks it is (which is important), there is also the question of where the web server (IIS or Apache) think the CFIDE lives, for each site that may use the CFIDE (whether for the CF Admin or for the CFIDE/scripts and other folders).

Prior to CF10 (or if someone overrides how CF10 works), the CFIDE for an external web server could be anywhere on your server. Indeed, some people mistakenly have multiple copies and don’t realize it, so mistakenly only update some one copy of the CFIDE.

It really is best then, Ghani, to do a search of your server to find where in fact you have any CFIDE directory/ies. I have a blog entry sharing a couple of tools (on Windows):

Hope that helps.

Hi Charlie,

I did the find and found about 4 cfide and they all are old. There is one new but it is called cfide2.

I just need to know where I need to copy files from to get the same exact settings in new server. Is JRun folder any good? does it contain all the settings?

Thanks,

Ghani
