Studio won't refresh pages 1

[geokor]

I guess my first explanation of my problem wasn't clear enough. I haven't used CF in about a year and can't remember (and haven't been able to locate info on) how to set up deployment so that I can refresh pages.

Say I have a page, index.cfm, and I alter the code. When I hit the BROWSE tab, it only shows the page as it was, not after the altered code. I have to close Studio down and open it back up to see the changes.

I'm running Apache on Win 2000 and my Studio Path and my CF Server Path are C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\CFTestingGrounds.

My Browser path is

http://127.0.0.1/CFTestingGrounds/.

After I make changes I use the deployment wizard and get the status message "Skipping, server already has newer version of file." even though the uploading project lines reads "OK".

Can anyone help me?
Thanks

I've never had that problem, but I'll see what I can do.

First of all, if you are in browse, and you click on the refresh symbol, what happens?

Second, check "File" and "Browse" under "Settings" on the main toolbar. Calista :-X

Oops! Sorry! It's Options/Settings/File(or Browse) Calista :-X

I seem to recall that under Settings, Browse, check the box for Use external browser configuration for internal browser is what will do it.

HTH,

Calista & CFDude - thanks for trying BUT my Studio has the following options under Browse:

Internal Browser

(X)(this is checked) Use Mircorsoft Internet Explorer (requieres IE 3.01 or later)
( )Use Netscape (Requires Mozilla NGLayout control)
( )Use the built-in browser

ColdFusion Server to use for Language Reference examples:

http://localhost/

[a button titled: Deployment Mappings]

and if I click on refresh in browse it does refresh but I was positive that it used to refresh automatically after deployment. Maybe not...

 

[calista]

What version of Studio do you have? Like CFDude said, under Browse, I too, have a checkbox for Use External Browser Configuration for Internal Browser. Mine is checked.

What do you have under File Settings? Calista :-X

Sorry, I forogt to answer your other questions ... under File Settings it shows:

Recognized File Extensions
Web Documents [htm,html,css...]
Web Images [gif,jpg,...]
Default extension [.cfm] ( ) Include full path in save dialog

Format when saving
(X) PC
( ) Unix
( ) Macintosh

If another process modifies the document
(X) Prompt to reload
( ) Always reload
( ) Never reload

 

[calista]

That's what I have. Oh well, one last suggestion. You didn't say what version of CF Server you're running, but if you have 4.5, do you also have service packs 1 and 2? Of course, there's always uninstall and reinstall. Other than that, I afraid I'm out of ideas. Calista :-X

I forgot about the service packs. I think I have 1 somewhere but I'll need to download 2. Thanks for trying so hard. If the SP works (or not) I'll let you know.

To whom it may concern: Thanks for all your ideas but alas it is in vain. The #$#(!! thing still won't work the way I think it should. It still requires a manual refresh to update. (sigh) Oh well, life could be worse!

The problem isn't ColdFusion Studio, it's Internet Explorer.

To fix the problem:

[ol][li]Open up Internet Explorer[/li][li]Select Tools > Internet Options[/li][li]Select the General tab[/li][li]Select Settings from Temporary Internet Files[/li] [li]Select the Every Visit to the Page radio button[/li] [li]Click OK[/li][/ol] - tleish

Thanks everyone but especially to tleish! That was it! Once IE was fixed it works like it's supposed to.
