Re: CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts
I just wanted to thank everyone for their assistance on this. I tried a whole bunch of different things here, but couldn't get it to work. So I decided to start over. I uninstalled IIS, and renamed the old \inetpub folder. I rebooted, then reinstalled IIS (to get a clean install). I created a new website for my first app (app1) at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\app1\wwwroot in IIS. Then I reran the CF web connector and configured all IIS websites. I tweaked the IIS settings for the app1 website and got CF working. I opened CFBuilder, and deleted the projects I previously created. Then I deleted my local CF server so I could start over. In troubleshooting various issues, I had come across this guide on Adobe's website for configuring CF and CFBuilder for local development: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/setup_dev.html I followed this guide pretty much step by step (except that I'm using IIS instead of Apache. The key thing to note is setting up URL Prefix mappings for each local site. So I created one for http://local.app1 with the local path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\app1\wwwroot. This appears to work well. I can even preview pages in the IE and Firefox tabs, and when I press CTRL-ALT-E to open in external browser (configured for Chrome), it loads the page in Chrome just fine. So, I guess this is another case of RTFM!! Lesson learned.

Re: CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts
Carl, When I create a project I don't use the default location (witch is where your workspace is saved), but I point to a folder in the wwwroot-folder of my CF server. This way I can still test my apps in the browser.

I do run CF locally in developer mode, standalone but under IIS 7.5 (rather than the CF built-in web server). CF's document root is set to the standard default root for IIS [c:\inetpub\wwwroot]. Each site has its own folder, usually based on the domain name, and there are sub-folders under that for components, sub-sites, etc, so the main site might be [c:\inetpub\wwwroot\example.com\www] with a management console at [c:\inetpub\wwwroot\example.com\manage]. I would use host entries that point back to 127.0.0.1 for manage.example.com, dev.example.com (rather than www so I can still browse the live site, but I'd point dev.example.com to the www folder locally), etc. IIS then has each site configured to use the example.com\www folder as the webroot. Within Builder, I generally keep a separate "project" for each sub-section, so one site might have a project for the main site, a project for the management site, a project for shared components, etc. Each developer will have their own slightly different workflow, but I find this works well for me. Previously I was working on a lot of live servers, so I was using Homesite+ with FTP directly to the live servers without any sort of local development environment to speak of. I'm sure you'll a method that works well for you as well. -Jus ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347479 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts
Carl that is exactly how I do it. Now when you create a server inside of CFB, there is a mappings tab. On this tab you will need to add the mapping to the wwwroot. That might seem strange I know, but when you create a project like this, this is needed. If this is locally I am not sure you need anything more, I take it that you have right mouse on the project and gone to coldfusion server and selected the server for the project. Now I am going from memory here, but I am sure that when I did it this way in a normal ColdFusion project, you should also be doing the step I mentioned above. But because I uses SES and an MVC framework, I can never have the option to browse the website like you are wanting too. So if you are in this position, then you will be having the same problem. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 9:29 AM, Carl Von Stetten wrote: > > What I've done is start a new project in CFBuilder, and pointed the > project to the folder one step above the IIS site's webroot (which is > C:\WebApps\App1\wwwroot), so the project folder would be C:\WebApps\App1. > > Do I need to set the CFBuilder server's document root to be pointing at > C:\WebApps\App1\wwwroot also? > > Right now, my IIS site runs entirely out of the wwwroot folder (CFCs are > in subfolders of the wwwroot folder. > > Carl > > ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347478 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts
What I've done is start a new project in CFBuilder, and pointed the project to the folder one step above the IIS site's webroot (which is C:\WebApps\App1\wwwroot), so the project folder would be C:\WebApps\App1. Do I need to set the CFBuilder server's document root to be pointing at C:\WebApps\App1\wwwroot also? Right now, my IIS site runs entirely out of the wwwroot folder (CFCs are in subfolders of the wwwroot folder.

RE: CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts
Yeah I do understand that Russ, maybe its more because I use SES and MVC so I really don't use that side of things. Secondly as far as two copies goes I think that goes to how people setup their projects, personally I always create my project and the point IIS to that wwwroot in that project. That way I don't have two copies at all, at least until I send it to my staging server. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 -Original Message- From: Russ Michaels [mailto:r...@michaels.me.uk] Sent: Thursday, 15 September 2011 9:01 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts Andrew, I think your misunderstanding what I mean.

The actual reason it is there is actually for remote sites, and even then it still can use information that is in the project. I proved this to the engineers via a connect session. I never fill this information in and I have sites that are running locally, and sites that are running in VirtualBox. And I still never ever used those settings. That was CFB1, I can no longer get anything to work in CFB 2 when it comes to viewing the site. Even if I tell the project to use the index.cfm when browsing the site in CFB2, so I just gave up.

Re: CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts
If wwwroot is not your project root, CFbuilder needs a mapping. Which the message tries to give you the place to add it, but with these sort of setups, and yours is identical to the way I use them by the sounds of it. I have never ever got this to work, even in CFB1. Virtual Hosts is not the answer, and really is a misleading, because it really is not even needed in the setup. But for some reason someone asked for it during the CFB1 alpha/beta and nobody understood that it was not needed. But I can be proved wrong if someone can clarify its exact purpose that can't be done elsewhere in CFB. Now the problem you describe is something that is difficult to work, and I have done it, but can't seem to get it to work in CFB2 where I had gotten it to work in CFB1.

CFBuilder 2 Virtual Hosts
I'm a complete CFBuilder n00b (just installed this morning for first time). I've been developing for years using Dreamweaver, so this is going to be a huge change for me. OK, now to the problem. I develop on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC. I have IIS 7.5 running local versions of the intranet applications I develop. I have a separate IIS web site for each application, and ColdFusion 9.01 is connected to IIS and all the sites work from a browser. My sites run from folders under C:\WebSites. In my hosts file, I have defined site names linked to 127.0.0.1 (local.app1 and local.app2). This all works fine. Now I have installed CFBuilder. I configured my local server per the Adobe help, or at least as far as I understand. My server shows up in the Servers window. I'm confused as to how I configure a project. Do I point the project to the actual website's code folder (ie: C:\WebSites\app1\wwwroot), or to the default folder for the project (ie: C:\Users\myUserName\Adobe ColdFusion Builder workspace/local.app1)? I tried putting a copy of the codebase in the project's default folder, but I can't preview any pages in the Firefox or IE tabs. I get the message: "Selected file is not in the document root of the server. If the project is not in the document root, create a linked folder to the document root (selecting Project Properties > ColdFusion Project)." What am I doing wrong? How do others set up CFBuilder with locally hosted IIS sites? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347463 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
