Question

Problems connecting to verity collection creation form

1. Am running CF MX7. Am following directions in CF documentation to create a form by which a user can create a CF Collection for a Verity search. I'm having several problems.
2. I created a form and an action page, that it's suggested that I put in the MyApps directory in the cf_root. Well, Since I'm running IIS, I don't have a MyApps folder or a cf_root folder, the root folder of the default Website, is wwwroot/. And I've created a MyApps folder and put both pages in the folder.
3. It suggests that to access the Create Collection form, one should type http://Hostname:Port/myapps/name of file.cfm

So I've tried many purmutations of that. I continue to get a Page not found error. No CF errors, just a page not found error.
4. One other item may be affecting this problem, but I don't know how to get around it. The Home page of the site is in a subfolder of the wwwroot folder as apposed to being dumped directly into the wwwroot folder.

Can anyone assist me? WCW

Hi,
The Virtual Directory name that you are typing in your browsing is Case Sensitive that is you should type that as "MyApps" where as it seems that you are typing that now as "myapps" like " http://Hostname:Port/myapps/name"..

Try replacing the "myapps" with "MyApps".. It will work..

Thanks, I did do that, and also changed the URL I was using to access the Create Collection form. I am running IIS, also, my Website root folder is not actually inside the wwwroot or Inet Pub. But the Home Page is set to the actual location of the Website folder. So, the MyApps folder is inside the root folder of the Website, even though it's in a different location.

Don't understand why you need a port number. And what port number would that be anyway? If I put port 80, which is the port of the Web site, hit enter, it just disappears when the browser resolves the address. Don't really need it.

Anyway, I can get to the creation form, create a collection, and have written pages to index the collection.

Now my problem is that the results I get when executing a search is a list of Paths, not URLs. Very strange. Don't know if I'm filling out the form wrong or whether my coding is wrong, but Search results should NOT show the PATH to the page, but the URL.

Does anyone recognize this incorrect result? Any idea of what I could be doing wrong? If so, I could really use some assistance.

Thanks, WCW
