CF has a random problem that if you have any custom tag paths setup on the server, it will sometimes try to look there first before looking in the local path, and will fail to find the component path. You have to use a mapping to get round this.

We haven't seen this before and for the life of us can't figure out why it's having this trouble. We've checked permissions and tried various combinations of the component directory and still it can't find them. Here is the setup: Site Path: d:\sites\dev_sitename_com\htdocs\ URL http://dev.sitename.com\ (which points to the htdocs directory Component directory is d:\sites\dev_sitename_com\htdocs\components Example component fusionController.cfc I use components.fusionController for the path to the component and I recieve an error stating that CF couldn't find the component directory ... I have used this same method on many different installations on various servers and cannot figure out why this wouldn't work .. even changed the name of the components directory and still no go. System: Windows Server CFMX 6.1 Anythoughts? ( I did create a mapping and that seemed to work just fine, but I don't like that solution) Paul Giesenhagen QuillDesign 417-885-1375 http://www.quilldesign.com SiteDirector Shopping Cart Software ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:250539 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
