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!

Using a Application.cfc, couldn't you use this.mappings['/'] to specify a root? 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.

I got everthing to work great, but just can't find a relavent example of how to setup a vhost for local development on a windows machine that has all access to all files. I dont really need any permissions on a local dev site on my laptop.

Wally, do you need examples still or did you get my messages via email?

I finally figured out the problems. I had to use the command line code to actually display my system32 folder and then I just editted the /drivers/etc/host file. All works perfect now.

Thanks for the information though

Heh, I forgot to mention editing the hosts file. Sorry about that. :|
