Nothing contained with the cfdocs (as provided by the install) is necessary for operation of the ColdFusion server. In some versions of CF there are security risks in the sample apps that are placed there.
While we're on it, you don't want cfide to be publicly accessible either, that's even more significant. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 12:40 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Virtual Directories for Websites...follow-up remarks Is there any particular reason for removing the cfdocs directory? Space? Any possible complications from not having anything that's in there? Rick -----Original Message----- From: Calvin Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 12:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Virtual Directories for Websites...follow-up remarks I'd recommended removing the cfdocs directory completely. The documentation is available at livedocs.macromedia.com or from within HomeSite or Dreamweaver. It can also be downloaded from www.macromedia.com. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 12:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Virtual Directories for Websites...follow-up remarks Ok...I see that Virtual Directories work just like I thought they should for websites that have domains pointing to the server already. However, I usually show my clients their websites as they're being developed by using a direct URL, such as http://66.xx.xx.138/cfdocs/website/index.cfm. That keeps it out of the public eye, yet gives the client access during the development process. Is there a way to do the same thing if I'm using directories not under the wwwroot? Perhaps, a main website with virtual subdirectories for the sites under development, such as www.MyMainWebsite.com/WebsiteUnderDevelopment ? I'll try that...
