Hi, Mark.
In my development IDE, I set up my development server
and coldfusion mappings to match what my ISP mappings are. E.g., my
ISP's disk path to my shared directory is D:\inetpub\gsn. I therefore
partitioned my dev server hard disk and created the same path. THus my CF and
IIS paths and mappings on my dev server match exactly what exists on my live
server.
Thus, all I need to change in the environment.cfm are
the URL & SSL roots and the login destination (and of course the mail server
and data sources). THis reduces the opportunities for getting mixed
up.
Once I got these variable set up deployment was very
easy. BTW, my earliest deployment experiments were all done with a very
tiny /test directory that permitted me to simply test the setup process and run
a simple plum-driven hello page (with header, footer, and left nav
bar).
Comment on ISP access: For a couple of years I had an
ISP that required me to submit a tech support request for any type of
environment change. Then I changed to an ISP that has a web control panel
that gives me direct access to critical CF, data source, and IIS operations so
that I almost never need to request tech support for routine configurations.
(The only exception to this was when I wanted to designate a MS SQL datasource
for handling client variables... their control panel didn't do this, but tech
support had it configured for me in a short time.)
The convenience and power this control panel gives me
at my ISP is well worth anything extra I have to pay for the
service.
Speaking of client variables, I use a MS SQL
data source for client variables and I have discovered
that this has a very high volume overhead. I've had to implement
a scheduled process that deletes expired client variables that are
over 14 days old so that I don't exceed my SQL data memory
allowance.

Hey Al,That's where I just ended up. It seems I have a mapping problem. when I run setup.cfm I get an error that says:Setup
An error occured while attempting to clear out your persistent variables. This may be due to an invalid setting of the ColdFusion Mapping Root value, which is set in the Paths node in the Plum IDE. However, if you have changed this value since the last time you ran Setup.cfm, you will need to restart ColdFusion Server and try again. You may also want to check the settings in the Plum ...I am trying to resove this with the host, but so far, no luck. I think it has something to do with how they use "virtutal" mappings maybe. I am waiting for a reply from tech support via email. They were unable to help me via the phone and said they'd get back to me. So, I work on something else for a while I guess.ThanksMark-----Original Message-----

Subject: {Spam?} RE: [plum] deploying on shared host and global.cfmHi, Mark. I've recently gone through my first PLUM deployment and the first question that popped into my mind is this:Did you run the /setup/setup.cfm application on your shared host?(My ISP allows me to password protect the /setup directory so that users can't discover and execute setup.cfm... hope your ISP does the same.)Al

Line 29 would be the datasource name for the database used for client variable storage.

Here is the error message and it is referring to line #29. What should this
