Scott there's no need for personal comments like "you obviously dont have the ability to compensate for that". I have no idea what your level of competence is and you dont have any idea of mine.
I took João at his word and proceeded to try to get Reactor working in my environment and it wont. As you have just said. Like a LOT of developers, my dev machine is a PC running WinXPPRo with IIS6, and I develop on my laptop so i can keep working as I move around the place. Reactor wont work in my environment, not because of the reason I said earlier, and I'm pleased about that, but for the reason I'm using WinXPPro with IIS6. I dont think I'm Robinson Crusoe there. My Dev environment layout, like a LOT of developers looks like this: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site1 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site2 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site3 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site4 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site5 ... C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site40 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site41 http://localhost points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot so to test site 1, I use http://localhost/site1/index.cfm That means reactor can't be both inside the dev version of the site, and also at the root level under iis6 This is going to affect a LOT of developers, and if ModelGlue depends on reactor as it is now, it will also mean modelglue is difficult to work with too. Until now, all these sites work on my dev machine, but if i build reactor into any of them they wont work. I'll either [A] have to develop without being able to see my work before uploading it to the server, or [B] undertake major upheaval to change my web server and all the sites on my machine or [C] have reactor outside my site on my dev machine, but inside the site on the production machine. None of these sound very appealing to me. Is there another option that anyone can see? I think when the docs are revised next, it would be helpful to warn anyone who's using IIS as their web server on a PC that they might have problems.
