I did it!! This is a multi instance server. If I put a Virtual Directory pointing to the CFCDir and then put in a CFA mapping to the CFCDir using the same name as the virtual directory, the cfc works and programmers can browse to the cfc and see the hints!
Thanks for all the help. Steve -----Original Message----- From: Ben Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 4:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFCs and virtual directories. Duplicating the mapping should work. ColdFusion does not honor IIS virtual directories. You may be more used to ASP, in which "virtual directory" and "mapping" are synonymous. To further complicate things, you may have to duplicate the mapping in the JRun config files as well. I've found that, sometimes, even ColdFusion mappings are ignored. This seems to be the case when invoking a CFC as a Web service (which in turn uses mappings). I believe this is only true in what Macromedia terms a multi-homed server configuration. If you're hosting a single site on the server, then you probably won't see this as both JRun and ColdFusion are configured with a "/" mapping by default.
