help!!!! need to know how to configure coldfusion 9 DE to a different webroot

[tpet...@gmail.com]

hello all,

does anyone here know what the procedure is to get ColdFusion 9
developer edition to point to a different directory other than the
default? my cfwheels file are located in z:\cfwheels

i tried adding the following to the C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\WEB-INF
\jrun-web.xml

<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/*</resource-path>
<system-path>Z:/cfwheels</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>

according to Adobe and what i've found on the web http://blog.xoundboy.com/?p=4
however this doesn't work. I get the following 404 error:

404
/
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /

i event tried adding a trailing forward slash:

<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/*</resource-path>
<system-path>Z:/cfwheels/</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>

but that didn't work either :(
what am i doing wrong? i need to get this working so i can continue
testing wheels on cf9.

Are you using the built-in webserver?  If so have you tried to run the Web Server Configuration tool http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf363a5d-7ffc.html

do you get 404 when you access the Coldfusion Administrator?

yes. i get a 404 when accessing the administrator. i don't under stand
what i'm going wrong. here is the jrun-web.xml file. can anyone spot
anything wrong?

what i ended up doing was just copying z:\cfwheels to the default
wwwroot directory so i could at least test. it isn't ideal since i now
have to copy files back and forth between the two directories. i'd
would like to get this setup so that it would complete the ultimate
wheels testing environment ;)

what about just specifying one project:

<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/myproject</resource-path>
<system-path>Z:/cfwheels/myproject</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>

Have you Copy the /CFIDE directory to the new web root?

yep, tried copying the cfide directory to the root. even tried doing
the virtual-mapping :(

i appreciate everyone's suggestions. right now i'm just going to
shelve this since copy the directory to the wwwroot allowed me to run
the test.

I don't do JRun anymore... how do you feel about Jetty, Tomcat, Resin,
GlassFish or JBoss?

ACF (and OpenBD) are harder to test with than Railo, because of the
way they handle "top level" mappings.

I think the best bet is to use a mapping for wheels, by cfincluding it
from a dir that is in the ACF root.

Attempting to do this is why I talked about including wheels from a
"public" directory a while ago. =)

Long story short, as far as I can tell, using a mapping doesn't fly
with the current code base, due to how cfinclude works.

Might be something worth addressing at some point. It would allow us
to ditch the if("Railo")... code chunks.
