I'm running CF8 developer edition on XP in a VMWare virtual machine on top of OS X Tiger. My goal is to use the XP virtual machine as my development enviroment for IIS,CF8 and SQL Server, and ideally have all cf files in a shared directory, so I can access and edit those files from within OS X.
I have IIS configured so that its home directory is a Samba share I set up on the OS X side and then can access from the PC side. I am able to browse to standard HTML documents in a browser both from the OS X side and the XP side. So, I'm fairly confident that IIS is configured properly. After getting IIS to work, I installed CF8 as a standalone install, and had it configured to run on top of all IIS websites. I am now having two problems. I have no idea if either can be solved, but I was hoping somebody may have a few pointers. Problem 1 I created a simple "index.cfm" file that contains the following code: <cfset test = "hi"><cfoutput>#test#</cfoutput> When I navigate to that URL on either the OSX or XP side, I see a CF missing page error. Why index.html would work, but index.cfm in the exact same directory would *not* work is beyond me. Problem 2 I would like to create a custom tags path mapping to either the SMB share or a mapped drive on the OS X side. However, every time I attempt that, Cold fusion shows the error "Unable to add custom tag path [mypath]". For example, "X:\customtags\", where "X:\" is a folder within a shared VMWare shared folder. I realize what I want to do is kind of convoluted, but it frankly all seems reasonably straightforward, so I'm not sure what the stumbling block is. Any pointers or advice is appreciated.
