Question

Need Help w/CF Builder Config

I admit I am a Homesite guy but I'm really trying to give CF Builder a fair shake. Unfortunately, I can't even get off the ground with it. I have tried every combination of settings I can think of but I cannot 'Browse' (in Homesite lingo) a CF template with IE or Firefox from within builder.

My CF8 server is another machine on my network. Builder is talking to it - I can use the services browser and such. Just can't browse (preview) my web pages. In Homesite my mappings look like this:

Homesite Path: N:\inetpub\wwwroot

Server path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot

Browser path: http://web1/

ColdFusion is installed in C:\coldfusion8 on the server, which would be N:\coldfusion8 on my workstation. Not sure if that matters or not since Homesite doesn't care...

Using IIS. Port 80

How can I translate this into Builder? This can't be that hard but I've been beating my head against the wall!

Thanks!

Hi !

I just faced the same "Problem" myself today and i did this to make it work:

doubleclick on your server-tab at the bottom area of CFB ->(the config. windows pops up)

Click next, fill in server root directory at the bottom (was empty in my config., can be a mapped network drive, like Z:\ in my case)

click on the mapping tab at the top, insert the same for local and remote path and click add

(e.g.: i entered z:\yourcoldfusionrootdir\projektdir)

worked for me !

regards

Hmm... Gave that a spin but still no browsing. I can't believe this is so difficult. Why back in my day you could set up Homesite in 30 seconds! Dang newfangled whatchamacalits. Humbug...

Did you follow the instructions in the docs - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusionBuilder/Using/WS0ef8c004658c1089-38317734121cdfd5fd3-7ffd.html - or just make it up as you go along?

What's happening instead of what you're expecting to happen?
