cf component panel

Question

Hello...I was wondering if anyone can help with a wee problem I'm having with Dreamweaver CS5? My CF Component panel has stopped showing my ColdFusion components, RDS login works fine and the Databases, Bindings and Server Behaviours seem to be OK but no CFC components anymore although I know they are most definitely there, I last saw them on Friday.

Deployed applications work perfectly on local testing and on remote production but I'm loosing a handy bit of functionality within Dreamweaver where I could browse CFC methods and drag them across to invoke.

I have searched hight and low but I cannot find a solution, the closest is this thread that I found on a Ben Forta book forum. My testing server is a local install of ColdFusion 8.0.1 on Windows XP, RDS and Admin access are single user and I've checked just about everything that is suggested here.

Most perplexing and any help or advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Yay, a solution I think.

I have discovered (for me at any rate) that if there is a file called LDAP.cfc or LDAP.CFC anywhere in the document root whether it is C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot serving on port 8500 or C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs serving on port 80 then Dreamweaver will throw the error described above.

I have no idea if it is a Dreamweaver problem or a ColdFusion quirk but removing or renaming the file or even just changing it to a lowercase ldap.cfc stopped all of my CF Components from disappearing from the panel in Dreamweaver CS5.

Please note that Chapter 72 of the otherwise excellent CFWACK 8 contains a file called LDAP.cfc
