OK, you may need to start from scratch. I have zero experience with Mach-II, and I just downloaded the stuff for the first time about an hour ago. try deleting your MachII and ContactManager folder and try my steps. This is what I did: 1. Unzipped the Mach-II framework code to my web root 2. Tried running the index.cfm in the resulting MachII directory, but got an error saying that it couldn't find the config.xml file. 3. Unzipped the ContactManager zip file to my web root (*not* underneath the MachII directory I just created. 4. Navigated to the index.cfm file in the ContactManager directory, and everything loaded up after about 10 seconds. That's it -- I swear. Maybe the sequence by which I did things made a difference. But I do know for sure that there shouldn't be a ContactManager directory below the MachII directory. If there is, go to the site and re-download the source. I got mine an hour ago and it was Kosher. Also, I noticed in the index.cfm file for the ContactManager app that it makes a call to MachII/framework/RequestHandler.cfc, so I'm almost positive you need to install both zip files in the manner that I described above. Again though, this is after only an hour or so of looking at this stuff. Hope this helps? Regards, Dave. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
