ColdFusion can't find ApplicationProxy.cfc in site root.

I am running CF9 Standard on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have an Application.cfc and ApplicationProxy.cfc in my root directory and

I am trying to "extend" the ApplicationProxy.cfc in a sub directory that houses a login page. When I try to access my site login

page, I receive a file not found error. Here is the basic file layout.

mysite\Site1 (root)

mysite/site1/Application.cfc

mysite/site1/ApplicationProxy.cfc

mysite/site1/members

mysite/site1/members/Application.cfc

When I view the members/Application.cfc I have the following code:

<cfcomponent name="Application" extends="site1.ApplicationProxy">

But any attempt to hit the page results in a "404 - File not found" error in IE and Firefox.

The problem is that CF cannot find the ApplicationProxy.cfc file on the production server. It works on my test (local) server

and I can't figure out why it won't work on production. Tried all suggestions from Ben Nadel and Stack Overflow. Still no

go! 

Here's the mapping for the directory in CF Administrator:

/mysite  D:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\site1

I'm getting a resource not found error and I am struggling to figure out just what's not being found.

The URL being requested.  It can't find the thing your browsing as cited in the address bar of the browser.  Plain and simple.

This is not a CF issue, it's the web server not being able to find what the client is requesting.

It turns that what was not being found was the ssl certificate. The location had been changed and I had not updated the reference to look in the new location. Thanks to all who tried to help. This issue has been resolved.

Perhaps ColdFusion couldn't find the login page.

I just noticed this:

mysite\Site1 (root)

mysite/site1/Application.cfc

mysite/site1/ApplicationProxy.cfc

mysite/site1/members

mysite/site1/members/Application.cfc

[...]

<cfcomponent name="Application" extends="site1.ApplicationProxy">

[...]

Here's the mapping for the directory in CF Administrator:

/mysite  D:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\site1

Given the name of your mapping (/mysite), CFC path should be mysite.ApplicationProxy surely? 

That said, none of this will be causing your 404.

Yes, I've changed the component to "mysite.ApplicationProxy". I guess a better explanation would be that I'm trying to login to a database (Apache client) but I'm getting a resource not found error and I am struggling to figure out just what's not being found. The database is active and verified in the CF administrator, all files are where they need to be, and the session and global variables are being passed as needed. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this would be appreciated.

The problem is that CF cannot find the ApplicationProxy.cfc file on the production server.

Err... no.  One gets a 404 when the document at the requested URL cannot be retrieved.  It has absolutely no bearing on any file that CF can / cannot find.  When your Application.cfc can't find the CFC it's supposed to extend, you get a 500 error, not a 404.

So if you're getting a 404... your analysis so far is barking up the wrong tree, I'm afraid.  Sorry.
