Question

Using ColdFusion Builder with ColdFusion 8

My client is using CF8.1 with SQL Server 2005 in our dev and production Windows environments with the latest version of Dreamweaver. We don't know when we will be allowed to use CF9.

1) CF Builder has features I'd like to take advantage of, however I read  that it is highly integrated with CF9. Does this mean I should  just wait?

2) What issues would I run into if I installed the latest version of CF Builder onto my Win PC and tried to develop with CF8 and passed my files into Dreamweaver and published out to our CF8 server environments?

I do all of my development on CFB, and do not use CF9.  We're still on CF8 (and CFMX7 for one client), and will not be looking to move to CF9 until after the first updater has been released.

CFB works fine with CF8.  At the end of the day, it's "just" a text editor with some added CF functionality.

I too am doing my work in CF8. I have to wait for my hosting provider to offer CF9 – they are great, but usually slow in upgrading to the latest CF server. I have:

Windows XP Pro SP3;

CF 8 running under IIS (localhost).

I just upgraded to Flash Builder 4, which included CF Builder. I am having a tough time running a CF project. No matter what I do, when I attempt to run a .cfm template, I get this error:

“Selected file is not in the document root of the server. If the project is not in the document root, create a linked folder to the document root”.

I have tried creating that linked folder, browsing to the folder that contains the template I want to run, but still get the same error message.

I have also tried:

1.    recreating the same CF project in a folder directly under wwwroot;

2.    adding a mapping in the CF Administrator.

Neither of the above workes; I get the same error.

So I find myself using Dreamweaver to run the file, which I thought I could avoid by having CF Builder in my Flash Builder IDE.

Am I missing something, or does this just not work with CF8?

I would greatly appreciate any ideas. Best regards,

Carlos

Hi, I get the same error message. Did you ever resolve this?

Thanks,
