Delete or Modify CF Mapping

[RickTX]

How do I delete or modify a CF mapping which does not have Edit or Delete button next to it?

Actions                           Logical Path                Directory Path

No buttons here               /CFIDE                        C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\CFIDE

I need to modify the Directory Path as C:\inetpub\MyDevelopment\CFIDE

Hi Rick,

CF\lib\neo-runtime.xml contains the mappings.

I expect you could edit that and restart CF - tho have not done so myself so reader be warned. Perhaps take a copy of backup first.

HTH, Carl.

.. but I do not think you would want to delete /CFIDE as that might break things (ajax, charting, ...).  Just fyi.

He is not suggesting deleting it permanently, he wants to change the location of it. Which is very common. I suspect he meant to delete and then recreate.

Carl is right though, it looks like the only way to change it is by editing neo-runtime.xml.

I suspect that that is so by design, to force you to be conscious of such a change.

Yep. I realized that after responding. But he did not seem to realize why the delete option was disabled. So it probably does not hurt to mention that it is an important system mapping that should not be deleted.

Hi All,

Thanks for your input; the following is what I am trying to accomplish.

Our current production CF is version 6.  I am installing version 9 on a new machine; version 6 and the old server will be removed once version 9 on the new server is up and running.

Here is what I have on current production server (CF 6)

Actions                    Logical Path         Directory Path

no buttons                 /CFIDE                 C:\Inetpub\MyDevelopment\CFIDE

I am trying to create this new server the same as the old server.

What does these path means and does it matter if they are not the same as the production server?

It's indeed as Carl says. In your case, that would mean stopping ColdFusion, modifying the file C:\ColdFusion9\lib\neo-runtime.xml, then restarting.

However, be aware of two things. Firstly, the common tradition, for example when configuring for IIS use, is to copy the entire contents of C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\, which includes the CFIDE directory, to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Secondly, the URL to the ColdFusion Administrator and to your web pages will change accordingly. The port number usually changes from 8500 to 80.
