Thanks for the response, Rick. My inquiry is for setting up a local development environment on OS X (hence the path). With everything running locally (with the correct permissions) Flex should be able to find my local CF server, right?
I thought it might be an issue of permissions, but FlexBuilder still could not find a config file even after adjusting the permissions. Any other thoughts? -Scott >> >> On the next screen I enter the path for the ColdFusion root folder >> (/Applications/JRun4/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war) and Web root. >> Upon hitting >> the Validate Configuration button I get an error message that reads, "Invalid >> root.
