I'm setting up OpenBD on Windows Server 2008. For now, I have been asked to keep IIS running, so I'm attempting to use the OpenBD 1.4 windows installer (including IIS connectors).
After setup (and a little troubleshooting), I got Coldfusion compiling without having to specify the port in my url. However, I noticed since my IIS default web directory was different than tomcat's webapps directory, only my coldfusion pages were compiling, not any included images or plain html files. I figured this was because IIS was only looking in Tomcat for Coldfusion pages, while all other resources were expected to be in the default web directory. So I changed IIS's default web directory to Tomcat's webapps folder. This worked for my particular application and all associated images, but when I try to access the root admin console, I have issues. At first, images wouldn't show because IIS is looking for them in .../webapps/ bluedragon/... while they are physically in .../webapps/ROOT/ bluedragon/... So I tried changing my IIS default directory to ...webapps/ROOT... which once again breaks the images in my application. I also tried just moving everything in the ROOT directory straight into the webapps directory, but that for some reason breaks the way the admin console looks for <cfinclude>'s. Now, with the setting I use that works for my application, I can still access the admin console proper by including the tomcat port in my url, but if I set up a datasource here, will it still apply to my application? Sorry for the wordiness, but I figure better too much info than not enough. *shrug* - Matt C -- official tag/function reference: http://openbd.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
