Thanks Clint and Dave. Both things help. I can access the cfc if I put it in the wwwroot, but still not when it's in a subdirectory. And for some crazy reason, the cfc throws a database error when I try to run it from the wwwroot.
I found some documentation on Enabling Flash Remoting for all sites on a server. http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18307.htm#en abling It says that by default when you install CFMX it gives you permission to access cfcs in the root, but that's it. "Although the installation does not configure virtual sites, ColdFusion MX pages will run because certain default settings are assigned to the Master Properties sheet. But, because JRunScripts virtual directories are not created for virtual sites at install and also because virtual sites cannot access the JRun Connector ISAPI filter, Flash Remoting service is limited to the Default website." This makes sense. When I do the test http://www1.yoursite.com/flashservices/gateway I get a blank page (which is correct) and when I try http://www1.yoursite.com/jhg/misc/flashservices/gateway I get a 404 error (which means you don't have access). The notes say to: "1. Stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service. 2. Run the cf_root\bin\connectors\Remove_ALL_connectors.bat to remove the existing ISAPI filter.* 3. Run the cf_root\bin\connectors\IIS_connectors.bat to properly configure all existing sites. 4. Start the World Wide Web Publishing Service." When I run "Remove_All_connectors.bat" it initializes in a cmd prompt and says "This will remove all CFMX Webserver Connectors. Press any key to continue. When I hit any key it says: "The system cannot find the path specified. Press any key to continue". I hit another key and the command line window closes. I don't think it completed it's mission, but if I then try IIS_connector.bat it does a bunch of stuff and then says "This Webserver is already configured for JRUN". Should it be so hard to remotely access a cfc that's not in the webroot?

You have to use dot syntax to get to them. Like if you had a dir called cfc in the webroot, then another dir inside cfc named foo and a cfc name bar, you would get to it like this: cfc.foo.bar HTH Clint -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 3:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFC Remote Access > Trying my first remote access of a cfc.
