Custom tags in CF 9
Hi, I recently installed an enterprise version of CF9 and the default directory is c:\jrun4 and there is no CustomTags directory. I added my customtags directory from my MX7 server and the custom tags calls are returning errors that they can't be found. Does anyone know where the CustomTags default directory is? BTW, this is a library of tags that all of the apps on the server will use, so placing them in the root of the web app is not an option.

Re: Custom tags in CF 9
The default for multi-instance is: C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\CustomTags If you've created additional instances, then you'll need to look in the appropriate directory under C:\JRun4\servers Thanks, Eric Cobb http://www.cfgears.com Help me make a difference this summerhttp://bit.ly/i8dJvQ On 4/12/2011 2:04 PM, Donnie Carvajal wrote: Hi, I recently installed an enterprise version of CF9 and the default directory is c:\jrun4 and there is no CustomTags directory.

Re: Custom tags in CF 9
You have chosen the multi-server installation instead of the standalone version, thus why the folders and paths are totally different. The default instance is located at c:\jrun4\servers\cfusion However if you have no need of the multi server features and did this by mistake then I would suggest you un-install and install the standalone version and just avoid all the issues. If you intend to run multiple versions of CF for compatibility testing, then multi-server is probably the easiest way to do this as you can run previous version as a new instanced deployed as war files.

Thanks, Donnie If you have a c:\jrun4 folder, that means you installed the multi-server or J2EE version that puts ColdFusion as a Java Server under a JRun, rather then the other way around. That means your Custom Tags path is going to be deep inside each of these servers. For example for the default 'cfusion' server it is located here: C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\CustomTags\ Obviously if you use the multi-server feature and create other ColdFusion server instances, there will be a corresponding path for each of them. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:343680 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Custom tags in CF 9
Thanks for the feedback. The intention is to set up a multi-server instance. I did find the customtags and the cfx directories for this instance; however, the customtags are more of a library that we use across servers. Is there a generic place that i can put these files so that all instances that I will install on this server will see them? I would like to put the CFX tags and components in a common place as well.

Re: Custom tags in CF 9
you can stick them anywhere (c:\custom tags) and then create a custom tags directory in the CFADMIN for each instance pointing to that location.

Donnie Not out of the box. But you define as many custom tag locations as you like in the administrator. So it would be easy enough to use your c:/jrun4/customtags/ and just define that in each and every instance that you would like to search that directory for tags. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:343683 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Custom tags in CF 9
Don't forget that in CF8 you gained the ability to specify custom tag folders in your Application.cfc file instead. I know you are looking for the simplest solution, but this is an option as well.

RE: Custom tags in CF 9
You need to drill into the jrun directory, there should be servers directory which should contain the server with the name of the context you gave it. By default this is cfusion, and then underneath that you will end up finding the standard CF directory structure. I think this is explained in the Installation documentation of ColdFusion.
