Could not find the included template config/definitions/...etc

[Ron Mast]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to transfer and decided to try and set it up on my server. I
have the transfer and app folder in the wwwroot directory...no cf
admin mapping. I followed the
http://www.compoundtheory.com/?action=displayPost&ID=112 tutorial. I
am at a loss why transfer is throwing an include error. Go to this
link to view the complete error http://localwebsites.biz/cfpetmarket/

Please advise...thanks,
Ron

I am going to take a wild guess and say that the most likely cause is an incorrect path value on the Transfer definitions path setting.  That value should be a root absolute value, such as:

<cfset definitionsPath = "/config/definitions" />

Additionally, make sure that the directory actually exists.

My app is in the wwwroot directory. Looks like this: cfpetmarket -->
config --> definitions

where do I define definitionsPath = "/config/definitions"? I guess
that's where I get lost...:(

Thanks...I will keep looking...but if someone can tell me that would
really help speed things up for me...thanks.

I'm confused why transfer can create the .transfer definition file and
then turn right around and say it can't find it.

[Matt Quackenbush]

My apologies.  The 'definitionsPath' is a setting with a particular framework I use.  It has been ages since I have used Transfer outside of a framework, so I don't remember all of the specifics.  According to the docs (link below) it is passed into the init() method when you create your Transfer factory.

http://docs.transfer-orm.com/wiki/Installation_and_Updating.cfm

Since your definitions folder lives down under your web root a couple of levels, the path should be "/cfpetmarket/config/definitions".

Yes you are right about where you set the definition path and my code
looks like:
<cfscript>
application.transferFactory = createObject("component",
"transfer.TransferFactory").init("config/datasource.xml","config/transfer.xml",
"config/definitions");
transfer = application.transferFactory.getTransfer();
category = transfer.new("pets.Category");
</cfscript>

You are saying the following line:
application.transferFactory = createObject("component",
"transfer.TransferFactory").init("config/datasource.xml","config/transfer.xml",
"config/definitions");

should look like:
application.transferFactory = createObject("component",
"transfer.TransferFactory").init("config/datasource.xml","config/transfer.xml",
"/mypetmarket/config/definitions");?

Will try this.

[Ron Mast]

Ok changed it to:

application.transferFactory = createObject("component",

"transfer.TransferFactory").init("/cfpetmarket/config/datasource.xml","/cfpetmarket/config/transfer.xml",
"/cfpetmarket/definitions");

which worked! :)

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!
