How to setup Coda site to use my standalone coldfusion 9

Report · Sep 15, 2011

Hi I just downloaded the new coldfusion 9 statndalone and am using the default server setup. I downloaded all my files to a subfolder inside wwwroot. I found a tutorial on how to setup standalone with dreamweaver but no other text editors. I'm using coda which has a similar site setup panel but I cant get my files to display in my browser when I test them. Its give me an error :

The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.
Error Occurred While Processing Request
File not found: /root/srv/htdocs/ovportal/index_home.cfm

Resources:
Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debug Output Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.
Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.

Anyone can help me please get this running. I'm almost 5 hours into this setup now with no luck.

Thanks

Well a "file found not found" error is pretty straight forward. The server can not find the file.

Do you have your web server configured correctly? Have you tested this?

Do you have your web site configured correctly? Tested?

Do you have your application server configured correctly? Tested?

Do you have your IDE configured correctly? Tested.

When I am build new systems I like to do this one step at a time. Set up the web server and web site, test it with a simple HTML file. Set up the application server, test it with a simple CFML file (usually just <cfoutput>#now()</cfoutput>). Then set up the IDE and test it.

Here is my Coda setup.

I'm not sure if remote root should be set to this address.

http://localhost:8500/sy-v2/sy (branch)/root/srv/htdocs/portal/

This is where my index.cfm file would be.

When I type in to a browser directly I am able to load the page but when I broswe it through coda I keep getting this url.

I keep getting sent to a local machine path and not my http://localhost path. I know its something simple in my Coda settings.

Also to note i'm testing from my local tab in Coda and not remote tab.

Ok go it to work it seemd to be very easy in the end and what I suspected I had the path incorretly setup. The only thing I can't get working now is the remote server connection from coda.
