Trouble setting up ColdFusion Builder

Hello to all. I sent this message last night, but it looks like it did not make it through.  So I thought I should try again. I am a little frustrated here trying to get CF Builder 2 set up.  Of course it does not help that the cheezy synthetic-speech videos that you can play from within CFB2 cannot be controlled while you have the setup dialogs open (don't know how Adobe could have missed that). Anyway, I think my problem is that both my CF install directory and my web root are on another server on the local network.  So I am setting my server home to: \\10.10.1.10\c$\ColdFusion9 and my document root to: \\10.10.1.10\d$\dev\prj1425 CFB2 doesn't seem to like the configuration.  It won't let me pick the CF version and won't let me click next to move on. Anyone got any ideas? -RR

You might try creating drive mappings for those shares, then using the drive mappings in CFB.

Hello Dave,  Thank you very much for the reply. I tried as you suggested (good suggestion, btw), but I am still stuck.  I thought it might be helpful to provide more detail: I am running CF 9.0.1 on Windows Server 2k8 Standard x64.  CF is installed in C:\Coldfusion9. Multiple development sites are running under IIS7 at individual private IP addresses (10.10.1.xxx).  The webroots for these sites are not within C:\Coldfusion9, but are within the D:\dev\prjxxxx directory. On the development server, I did run adminstart.bat in C:\Coldfusion9\runtime\bin. Here is what I entered during the server setup in CFB2: General Settings... Server Name: Development Description: [blank] Application Server: Jrun Host Name: 10.10.1.199 "Is Local" is selected Web Server Port: 80 J2EE Settings... Context Root: [blank] Application Server Name: [blank] RDS Username: Developer PDS Password: <password> Enable SSL is not selected Auto Start/Stop are not selected Local Server Settings... Server Home: P:\  (This points to C:\Coldfusion9 on the dev server.) Document Root: Q:\ (This points to D:\dev\prj1425 on the dev server.) Virtual Host Settings... Name: prj1425 Host Name: 10.10.1.199 Port:80 Document Root: Q:\ When I try to refresh that server, I get this in the console log: [Development]:(06/07 at 03:39:19) Server is available. Getting server settings. [Development]:Error(06/07 at 03:39:19) Unable to fetch server mappings. [Development]:Error(06/07 at 03:39:20) Unable to fetch server mappings. [Development]:Error(06/07 at 03:39:20) Unable to get the log directory. When I try to restart it: [Development]:Error(06/07 at 03:40:17) Unable to query service for the server Development. Now I realize I am not the brightest bulb in the box, but the setup instructions and video all seem a bit too vague to me... All help appreciated. -RR On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 1:32 PM, Dave Watts <dwatts@figleaf.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

After wasting an entire day trying to figure out how to get CFB2 to work correctly with my development web server on the local network, I got tired of beating my head against the wall and gave up. So I loaded CF10 on my development machine and CFB controls the server just fine, and RDS communication works fine too.  It's a shame that this can't work with a local server on a private network. But here's a question:  How do I get the files from the project directory into the local webroot?  (I am running IIS7, btw).  I do not see any mechanism to Put or Publish the files to the web root.  I am sure it's something staring me in the face and I am just not seeing it.  Any ideas? -RR On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 5:42 PM, Robert Rhodes <rrhodescf@gmail.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I just put my projects in the local web root in the first place - when you create a project, you can uncheck the default project location (which by default is in your workspace, which in turn is in your Windows profile). Alternatively, you can simply create a workspace in your web root, and all subsequent projects will then go in there by default.
