Re: [CFCDEV] potential dumb noob question

I can't answer to your situation directly. But addressing only the use of CFC's here, i can say that i develop on an Windows box and use CFC's extensively and have deployed to a Linux server and it just works. The only issue i've run across is casing. That said, it can be a little difficult in the beginning to work out how paths work when using CFC's. If you're not using mappings, then you want to place your CFC's or the directory containing them in your web root. So on a Linux box, i believe that would be in your htdocs directory. So if for instance your cfc's are in a directory called mycfcs, then mycfcs would go under the webroot and you'd instantiate it with CreateObject('component','mycfcs.myService') and you'd need that path in the Extends attribute as well (if the 2 objects are not in the same directory) so CreateObject('component','mycfcs.myService') myService.cfc: <cfcomponent extends="Service"> <cffunction name="helloworld" access="remote" returntype="string"> <cfreturn "hello from Windows"> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> would work if Service.cfc were in the same directory as myService.cfc. Otherwise you'd need the path in the extends attribute, like so: CreateObject('component','mycfcs.myService') myService.cfc: <cfcomponent extends="someOtherCfcs.Service"> <cffunction name="helloworld" access="remote" returntype="string"> <cfreturn "hello from Windows"> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> Don't know if that helps, but i tried. ciao, Nando Jim Cassata wrote: checked that, but thanks Doug. But I can't make a remoting project directly on the Linux server, as flex builder wants to map to the root folder directly. So, I am making it on he win box and copying the files (everything in bin). Just seems weird that the cfc is not visible in the services browser --- Doug Sims <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Linux is case sensitive....does everything match case( ex, service.cfc vs Service.cfc) just an initial thought Doug Sims On 2/1/07, Jim Cassata <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I have a simple cfc that works on my wondows desktop running cfmx 7.0.2 myService.cfc: <cfcomponent extends="Service"> <cffunction name="helloworld" access="remote" returntype="string"> <cfreturn "hello from Windows"> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> In Windows the cf server recognizes the cfc in my cfeclipse services browser. I move the cfc to my Linux server (also cfmx 7.0.2) and I get an error in the servics browser: Unable to get meta data. And is works on my Windows flex app and not when I move it to Linux. Is there anything different that has to be done to move a file from Windows to Linux? Both cfmx servers are set up the same (default) Thanks! Jim You are subscribed to cfcdev.
