Dear flyingmountain, Based on your notes.. I think your installation settings should be as follows...
flyingmountain (sent by Nabble.com) wrote: > - what directory did you set as the web root > well _serverSpecificVars.cfm said "" but shouldn't it be > "http://pwp.flyingmountain.com"; ? application.url.webroot is the relative path from the web root where your application exists. If it is a dedicated site for your farcry application this would be "" ie. blank, as your site sits directly under the webroot. Your website home should be pointing to: c:/farcry/testsite/www (where testsite is whatever you ended up calling your application). Your website virtual directory for /farcry should be pointing to: c:/farcry/farcry_core/admin > - what directory is your project installed to > D:/farcry/pwp.flyingmountain.com (it was D:/farcry/testsite initially, then > I renamed the directory.) Ideally the project directory should be the same name as your application name nominated in ./testsite/www/Application.cfm I think "testsite" is as good a name as any.. or maybe "pwp" or something. But make sure its a valid application name (ie. starts with an alpha and contains only A-Z/0-9 and underscores. > - what directory is farcry_core installed to > D:/farcry/ Good, no problem. > - what directory does your CF mapping point to > D:/farcry/ This is correct. > So ...it seems simple but ... please help me fix this! Try watching Jeff coughlin's video. IIS installs can be complicated by the fact that you need to have a directory in place to point a website at in IIS. The installer kind of assumes no directory exists. Apache doesn't have this issue. Note re talk of apps.cfm -- this file is only useful if you are running multiple farcry sites under a single HTTP web site. ie. for your installation it should be deleted as its totally unnecessary. Hope that helps, -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ PS. Apologies for the installer.. it is the Achilles heel of FarCry installations for many newbies. Tragically more experienced developers never really use it the same way and so the urge to fix it is low amongst seasoned practitioners. :( PPS. Good news is we're trying to rebuild the installer for 3.1, and several errors for the existing installer have been corrected in 3.0.2 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
