CFIDE Mapping

[kabod]

Hi,

cfform doesn't work on my server so I need to change where the cfide mapping
is pointing to. CFadministrator won't let me do it - says unable to change
cdife system mappings.

Is this possible to do?

The best solution I've found is to set up a virtual mapping via your web server
so that the directory /CFIDE/scripts/ is accessable. The cfide mapping in the
CF Admin will not get you where you need to be as the files required to support
CFFORM are being called by the client machine rather than cfinclude on the
server.

A look at the "view source" of the page you're calling via the browser will
illustrate the best:

I see this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/masks.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset='utf-8'
src='/CFIDE/scripts/cfformhistory.js'></script>
<noscript>

So the web server would need to know how to get to these files. Not
ColdFusion.

I'm setting up our CFMX7 server in an W2k3/IIS production environment for the
first time.

Because I wanted to separate the web content from the CF infrastructure, I
have set up the CFIDE as a virtual drectory of the main web root.

Does anyone know if this config could cause any problems (aka Security, cf
updates, etc)?

Thanks for your help,

Hi

The virtual CFIDE path has to accessble from root path. then there will no errors.
otherwise there may be a chance of some cf validations may not work because of javascript .
