Question

"File not found" with CF 8 Developer Edition

Hello

I just installed CF 8 Developer Edition on a Windows XP Pro machine. CF Admin works well, so I know the CF server itself works. But whenever I try to run any of my own .cfm files from localhost or 127.0.0.1 it gives me a "file not found" error. Not sure what's going on.

Thanks

Khaled

How did you install ColdFusion?  What web server are you using?  What operating system? There are several possible combonations where ColdFusion looks for files and how one accesses them with a browser.

Depending on the choices you made during installation you could need to be using port 80, 8300 or 8500.As well as, your web files could need to be in c:\\inetpub\wwwroot\, /var/www, \Apache22\htdocs, c:\\Jrun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\ or many other possibilites.

It's an XP Pro machine. CF running on IIS, not on its own server. So no port numbers after the domain. I have the files under a different directory with mapping to it under IIS virtual directories. The file list is accessbile from the browser if I point to the directory and remove index.cfm. If I click on an html file it displays with no problem. When I click on a cfm file I get a "file not found" error.

Thanks

I narrowed it down to this: this only happens with files not located under \inetpub\wwwroot, even if I add the virtual mapping for the location under IIS and CF admin. Not sure why that is happening.

Thanks
