>> I was on the phone to Mike (long distance) for quite a while - never thought to tell him to install CFMX as standalone (I'm running it fine with MX). Once again Dave Watts has saved someone's sanity...
<< I'm sure you're all pretty well sick of my problem, and to tell the truth, so am I. But you'll be glad to know it's finally ended. Not solved, but with the amazing help of Dave Watts from CF-TALK, we've made a workaround and its no longer a problem for me. The problem: Jrun is just not doing what it should. When I try to get CFMX to connect to IIs the jrun server (which is definitely running) can't be found by the gui to connect to it. Everything I've tried, Chris Kief has tried, and Dave Watts has tried has failed to make this jrun connection work. The Solution: Last night, for about 4-5 hours, Dave Watts from Figleaf Software connected to my desktop in a VNC session and we tried one thing after another. Or more accurately, he did one thing after another while I watched. Dave is an extraordinarily generous man, and apart from the obvious expert knowledge and problem solving skills that are so familiar on CF-TALK, he gave up time to help me, and when it got difficult, he didn't give up. When I gave him the chance to get out and say "Good luck" he persisted and kept on helping. I am very indebted to him and we are very lucky to have such a person in the ColdFusion community. The answer was staring me in the face the whole time, and I was too close to it to see. IT seems really stupid now, but it was like a light going on. Suddenly, in a burst of inspiration, a question arose ... DO I REALLY NEED TO USE IIs? I know it seems stupid from this perspective but it had never occurred to me before that I mightn't need IIs, and it didn't occur to Dave to ask why I needed IIs. But I can't think of a reason why I need it. SO the solution: Don't use IIs. LOL!!! Yes, the CFMX web server isn't as sexy, and can't use WinXP authentication, and to create virtual directories I have to edit a xml file, but it works fine. So I'm doing without IIs, and the problem, while it hasn't gone away, it doesn't matter any more. One day I'll rebuild my WinXPPro and I guess I'll have another go at installing it all then, but in the mean time I'm past the obstacle and moving on. Thanks everyone for their suggestions, help and advice, and for giving a damn. Now I'll shut up for a while.
