New to .cfc files : Do I have to register application.cfc with CFadministrator?

Question

I am using an application.cfc file for the first time ands I cant seem to get it to work.

Do I need to register the application.cfc in the CF administrator in order for it to work?

I actually have 2 cfc files application.cfc and mylist.cfc

Do I need to register both of these in the CF administrator?

No, you shouldn't have to register any CFC for it to work.

Ben Nadel has a pretty detailed tutorial on Application.cfc, I recommend reading through that as a good starting point. It's a little outdated as I think it was written for CF 7, though. http://www.bennadel.com/blog/726-ColdFusion-Application-cfc-Tutorial-And-Application-cfc-Reference.htm

Note the important difference in the file names.

Your post used the file name "application.cfc", the reply by ecobb used the file name "Application.cfc". That capitol "A" is a significant difference on *nix systems. The lower case "application.cfc" does not do anything, you MUST use the upper case "Application.cfc".
