Allan:

Regarding #2 below, I assume you mean create a virtual directory of /CFIDE 
that points to CFIDE in the system?

CF mappings on Standard are server-wide, and they're server-wide on 
Enterprise unless you're using Sandboxing to lock them down. If you create a 
virtual directory, all your servers will be able to hit 
http://my.url.com/cfide/administrator/index.cfm, whereas using a mapping 
enables just directory access without exposing CFIDE in the webroot of the 
application. Having the files accessible from the cfchart tag should only 
need the mapping because it relies on the accessibility of the files, not on 
being able to use them in a browser. And if you're using mappings, you only 
need 1 per CF instance, barring any sandboxing.

Also, anything you need universally can go in {cfhome}\wwwroot because 
that's basically a universal mapping. If you put CFIDE in it, beware, 
though...by default it will be available to the browser from all sites, all 
URLs connected to that CF instance via a webserver connector.

Now JrunScripts is a different matter, because for some reason that's always 
a virtual directory... when you create it (in each site that will be 
accessing CF), you're going to need to edit the properties and add the Jrun 
Server Filter in the ISAPI filters tab and in the Virtual Directory 
properties tab for the directory click Remove against the application 
attributes and uncheck Read.

If you check your wwwroot/web-inf/web.xml file, you'll see that 
GraphData.cfm is a servlet mapping, so adding a CF template to /cfide 
wouldn't do much. It's the same as IDE.cfm, which is the servlet mapping for 
RDS... these can be executed from a browser via the URL specified, but 
they're trapped by Jrun and mapped out to specific servlets for special 
handling. It's basically Jrun spoofing a CFM template to the CF server.

Matthew, you said these image files were being created correctly, right? Do 
they look like they should even if they're not being sent back to the 
browser? Have you checked (or had the host check) windows and CF error logs? 
There should be something. If the issue was the result of a headless Win 
install, chances are that the graphing subsystem would fail during CFMX 
bootstrap... that's how it works on Linux, and also the primary cause of 
CFCHART issues on linux. People fail to understand that CFMX needs the basic 
X libraries to get cfchart to work.

If you do a view source after hitting a page that's got a CFChart in it, you 
should see some URL information that's used to transfer the images/movies 
from the Chart servlet to the browser... trying hitting that URL alone and 
seeing what error message you get. Go from there, paying particular 
attention to paths, virtual or otherwise, that are missing or incorrect.

Good luck!
