ColdFusion 9 mapping seems not being processed

I installed ColdFusion 9 with IIS 6 on Windows 2003 Server.  The web root directory is  c:\MyWeb. 

I created a ColdFusion mapping in the CF Administrator for /dbx, and points to c:\ColdFusion9\Template.  Under the Template directory, I have several sub-directories, Cat1, Cat2, ....

When I accessing http://myweb.com/dbx/Cat2/getcat.cfm, ColdFusion threw the following error.

File not found: /dbx/Cat2/getcat.cfm

The exception.log shows

"Eror", "jrpp-2", "02/27/12", "15:17:32",,"File not found" /dbx/Cat2/getcat.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\MyWeb\dbx\Cat2\getcat.cfm'' " ColdFusion.runtime.TemplateNotFoundException: File not found: /dbx/Cat2/getcat.cfm

The getcat.cfm is present, and it is under c:\ColdFusion9\Template\Cat2\.

It seems like ColdFusion is not handling the mapped /dbx/Cat2/getcat.cfm, and passed it to the web server.  IIS is looking for the /dbx/Cat2/getcat.cfm under its web root, and obviously can't find it. 

Any pointers are greatly appreeciated.

    CF mappings only affect CF tags, like CFINCLUDE, CFMODULE, etc. They don't create mappings that your web server will recognize. You need to create virtual directories in your web server for those.
