Thank you for persevering with me, Andrew. I'm glad it's not just me being dense. This is still very confusing. I suppose once I've set up a couple of projects it might be understandable. I'd hope so - i have 39 to set up!!
Dean, thanks for the reassurance that code insight actually does work. I can make code insight work as far as the application.beanfactory.getbean() part - Typing 'application.' will result in getting the insight into the coldspring CFCs. but when i type the bean name, and want the methods inside my CFC, it doesnt work. So I suspect the reason for that is that I havent got the server set up properly in the project. Therefore I'm putting this aside for now and I'll come back to it once I've worked out the server settings.... I'm not sure this is a public beta. Adobe doesnt say so on the web site. I never use beta software - ever since those awful consequences of using the WIndows95 beta all those years ago. I'd have noticed if the Adobe website said the word "beta" I feel sure. i'm putting aside the FTP and code insight things for the moment and I'll come back to that. It's quite likely the problems I'm having there are because I havent set up the project's 50,000 settings correctly. (ok slight exaggeration - its only 35,498 settings ) . I doubt they're goign to work properly if i havent got the folder settings right in the project setup. So here's my structure: I have a coldfusion jrun installation, set to all the default locations. So it's at c:\jrun4 I have apache web server running, with a document root at D:\Sites\webroot\htdocs All my site files are on my d: drive for example i have the following structure for one of my sites: D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006 D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006\local-logs (apache's logs ) D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006\Resources (for working files and notes and bits of images etc) D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006\site\web (the root of the site). The project still isnt set up properly in CFBuilder, because the 'run as' function gives the error: "selected file is not in the root of the server" This happens even after I set up a linked folder to the document root. So I guess the problem is that I havent set up the server correctly. Can someone help me with this please? or point me towards a tutorial or a blog entry that covers this aspect? Sadly the majority of the resources I've found just skip over the tricky bits I'm not understanding. Like for example what is the context root of the server? No one ever explains the term "context root" as distinct from 'server root' and 'web root' and 'document root'. And in any case, I set up my coldfusion server a year ago on a very stressful day for other reasons. I can't remember what I typed in as the context root at the time. How do i find out now?
