Windows / Apache / and Coldfusion 8

I am attempting to configure apache to work with Coldfusion 8 on my laptop for a dev machine. Since my Model-Glue apps will not find a root directory I need to isolate each site by themselves and cant seem to use the coldfusion dev server (:8500).

Though countless research (probably mostly bad) I managed to get the localhost to find the right directory for each site, but its trying to download the .cfm.

Anyone know how to do this? Thanks for any help.

Attached is my current hacked httpd file. Thanks for any help I can get!

Anyway, Apache has no issues setting up vhosts, which is what you want. I don't see CF properly setup at all in that configuration, did you run the Apache_connector.bat script inside the CF8/bin/connectors folder? You have to configure that script first before you run it, but once it's ran, it should be good to go.; ▶ Reply to This

I dont really need any permissions on a local dev site on my laptop.; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks for the information though; ▶ Reply to This

Besides the reply with Jane, the code in the CFSCRIPT tags executes more rapildly than in the cf tags. So it is good to use cfscript if we are want more optimized code....

I'd suggest using both, in most cases. Validation at the client end (probably Javascript) gives immediate response to the user, and no network trafffic. So you use it as your first step. But the user may have disabled Javascript, or be using somet…

Server. If you want to flood your server's registry with junk and slow it down as much as possible, this is a very fine way of doing it. There's an article on the subject here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/179/tn_17919.html dating right back to CF 4.5…

Jane Williams replied to pk's discussion 'What are the different ways to concatenate two strings/values in cold fusion (other than '&' operator)?'

My usual answer would be "don't - do that in the database". But assuming that isn't approrpriate - what's wrong with the '&'?
