Can not browse in Studio

[ketankshah]

I have installed the studio and is working fine except one problem. When I open a .cfm file, it's working fine in Edit and Design mode. But in Browse mode it is giving me the following error.

"The Coldfusion file you are trying to browse cannot be resolved into a URL. Add a server development mapping to enable URL resolution to this file."

The file test.cfm is in the directory "C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\test\".

The cold fusion server has been installed in "C:\CFUSION\". The studio has been installed in "C:\Program Files\Allaire\ColdFusion Studio 4.5\".

I think there is some problem in the Development mappings.

Can any one help me in setting this mappings given the above file locations. The web server is ofcourse "C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\".

Thanks in advance.

Ketan.

Hi Ketan

YOu are right, you have to set a development mapping. In your case I try:

Studio Path & CF Server path:
C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\test

Browser:

http://127.0.0.1/test/

xor

Thanks a lot.

It did work perfectly.

Now in the same line I have another question. I am testing the same application on a web server.
Host name is "ftp.cfm-resources.com"
Actual URL is "

http://www.cfm-resources.com/j/jac".

When I connect thru WSFTP Pro, the default path of my files is "/f:/j/jac".

What should be the development mapping ?

Thanks in advance.

This is the same exact problem I was having, although I saved CFM's to C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\cfdocs

which the administrator manual said was a default and the browser should find these files without and additional qualifiers (ie test in your example & cfdoc in mine), I will try your fix and check back. Jim

Not positive about this but if I understand your question correctly, try setting the Browser (in Development Mapping) to

http://www.cfm-resources.com/j/jac/

and that should work. The other mappings would be the full Windows path to the files (provided you have a network drive mapped to the server). I am not sure about the ftp bit, but the webserver should dish up the .cfm files. ie. you should be able to just type the url

http://www.cfm-resources.com/j/jac

into your browser and provided you have an index.cfm file (and coldfusion server running on the same machine) it should work. It should also work when you choose to browse from ColdFusion studio.

I tried Ketan's suggestion, no fix. In fact when I bring up any browser and type in 127.0.0.1/name.cfm it works, but not from Coldfusion browse. Xor mentions an Index.cfm page...do I need this? is that my problem? I will try again

Not sure what Xor's reference to CFresources.com is all about??

I'll check back...thanks all!! Jim

My own answer: In a Local Server situation I went to mapping in Studio and via their suggestion for Local Networks I mapped studio and Server to C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot

and Browser to 127.0.0.1...it works, can browse directly from within CF Studio...faster then going to Browser and inserting URL.
