You have three options. Typically, your web server administrator should set up a virtual directory (/CFIDE) that points to the physical location of the CFIDE directory for every virtual server. Alternatively, within the CFMX 7 Administrator, you can specify another location for that stuff, I think. Finally, you can use the SCRIPTSRC attribute of CFFORM to point to another location as well. Of course, there are security issues with exposing the entire CFIDE directory this way. You will typically want to limit or prevent access to the administrator and adminapi folders within CFIDE. There are many ways you (or your web server administrator) can do that. Finally, I'm a bit curious why the default virtual server is publicly accessible. It probably shouldn't be.
