Can't Find Components!

[Snazzo]

We have a development server with a C drive. The C has coldfusion server and
finds components perfectly.

When we push code up to one of our production servers it can't find the
components. The configuration is a C drive and a D drive. The C has
inetpub/wwwroot/CFIDE and the D drive has coldfusion server installed on it
along with the website code.

On a second production server we hace a C drive and a D drive. The C drive has
inetpub/wwwroot/CFIDE AND coldfusion server on it, with the website code on the
D drive. This finds coldfusion components perfectly.

The code used to find components is: createObject('component',
'components.componentFolder.componentName')

Is it possible the location of the coldfusion server on the first production
server is causing this problem? We do not use mappings on any server since we
have never needed to. I thought coldfusion was supposed to follow its sequence
to identify where the component is located in the directory structure.

Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

Thanks!

and "components" is a cf mapped dir? then map it the same on your production boxes.

Components is a directory in the root of the website. There are no mappings necessary for this to work on development or on the second production server.

ok, i seemed to have skipped that part in your message. what happens if you
stick a plain jane HTML page in that dir? can you successfully call it?

[Snazzo]

All pages work perfect in any of the three environments. The only time I get a
variance is when I try to reference a component. createObject('component',
'components.componentFolder.componentName') gives me the error where is says it
can't find the component or it doesn't exist.

Everything else works as expected, so that led me to question the sequence
that coldfusion finds the components as the possible culprit.

and a plain page works in that specific dir?

[Snazzo]

Yes it does.

that's rather odd. if you can get to an html or cf page then you should be able
to get to a CFC as well. something simple? spelling error?

[Snazzo]

It has nothing to do with spelling. The exact same code base on the second production server works perfect and finds the components as expected.
