The latter issue with CFIDE is probably fine too. There probably just isnt a default doc. Best practice for a shared host would be to only put a copy of /CFIDE/scripts into your web root for your convenience, since you shouldn't have any CF admin access. Byron Mann Lead Engineer and Architect

Don't mess with the web.config file if you don't know what your doing either, as you can completely break your website if you corrupt the file or make it invalid. Make sure you back it up first. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion

the usual method is to have a vDir that points to a copy of the CFIDE with all the scripts inside it. The host should be doing this. it is not a good idea to maintain your own copy of CFIDE unless you are going to keep it up to date with any patched or hotfixes yourself, which may get out of sync

My point exactly. The file has never been in web root until the tech at the hosting company placed it there a few days ago. The sole content of it seems to turn detailed error messages. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? configuration system.webServer httpErrors errorMode=Detailed /

It seems like a huge security hole to me to have any kind of configuration file be world accessible, but I'll take your word for it. It's actually not accessible, despite being located in your web root. IIS won't serve it. This is similar to how J2EE servers don't serve the contents of
