Hi all, I am also working with the same setup as many other, WinXP, IIS and CF developer edition. I have Reactor and ModelGlue working fine, BUT I do have to change the default website every time I work on a different project. That is annoying, but the only way I can mimic the same setup as on the server.
Recently I installed Apache and IIS, according to the ACME guide.( http://www.stephencollins.org/acme/) . I must say, this really looks promising. I can have multiple websites, with Reactor and ModelGlue without a problem. Maybe you can look into this, not as a solution, but as a workaround? Just my two cents, Erik-Jan -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Mike Kear Verzonden: zondag 16 april 2006 18:07 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [Reactor For CF] Problems with configuring reactor for shared environment Jared, I can see that rather than reading what I have written, you're anxious to prove I'm wrong. As I've said several times, but no one seems to want to notice it, i WANT to be proved wrong on this. I WANT to have reactor working for me. If it can be made to do what I think it can do, it'll save a LOT of time in the longer run. Also, as I've said several times, but again no one seems to want to notice, I acknowledge that some people have it working in shared environments. Also as i have said repeatedly, but which Chris Blackwell grossly misrepresented, I have been trying to make it work in my dev environment without mappings. I had it working WITH mappings, but sine it's a shared environment thats impractical. I had to have it working without. Therefore, Chris Blackwell, pull your head in unless you're going to quote me accurately. You left off a big and very important part of my email, which follows on from what you quoted .. beinning '... or " See there's an "either" in the quoted passage, so where's the "or" that goes with it? Many people are saying exactly the same thing - "Yes it can work without mappings" but what started this all off is that it bloody well ISNT working without mappings unless i do some pretty extensive reorganisation of my 42 web sites. It would be much more helpful if instead of all trying to slam my head into the desk, you helped me track down what i have to do to make this work in practical terms. Doug I NEVER slammed Reactor. I said SEVERAL TIMES that i hoped i was wrong and that it would work. I said it looked like a terrific package. I said that I wanted it to work for me. But it's clear that under WinXPPro and IIS6 it's not doing so unless I only have one site. I have 42. In a typical morning I might do work on 6 or 7 different sites. Jared, you called me to task for not being specific enough in stating what my environment, yet only three lines above where you wrote that, you quote me stating exactly the info you criticised me for not saying. Were you just being mischievous there? Just wanted me to look bad? Jared, you asked : "Furthermore, if you're passing it a string why would you expect that to be seen by anything as an object?" Answer: I didnt. Doug did. That's line 8 in reactorFactory.cfc in the package straight from the SVN. Jared, you said: "If you changed the contents of the zip file at all (you've mentioned rearranging all the directories), ..." Answer: no I didnt say that. I moved the entire reactor folder structure as is from one place to another, leaving all the contents entirely unchanged. I never mess around with stuff like that until i know whats in there and what everything does. Now everyone just calm down. I'm not the evil, incompetent fool some of you seem desperate to portray me as. I was pretty grumpy at the outset, and I could probably have been more diplomatic in the language I chose, but i had just realised that i had wasted a large piece of my family time over Easter, chasing something that was never going to work. I said it wouldn't work in a shared environment. Probably i shoudl have said it wont work under WinXPPro and IIS6 unless you only have one site, or you are prepared to do a lot of gymnastics to make it work. And doesnt the built-in server only allow one site to be "active" at a time? To swtich from one site being at http://localhost to another site, dont you have to reconfigure the built-in server? If so doesnt this same issue apply to them too? That's still pretty important dont you think? Lots and lots of developers have that environment on their PCs.
