Setting up development mappings

[JasonK]

I need some help on how you figure out how to set up your development mappings when you have studio on one machine and CF server on a different one. The url for inhouse one is set sorta like this

http://abc.dev

and is found on the network as \\compA\filea\fileb\filec\filed\ and the server sees it as c:\filea\fileb\filec\filed\ I have tried everything I can think of but it still tells me to set up a development mapping. I have it working perfect at home with the server set up on the same computer but at work no luck at all.

Any easy way round this if you are on the same network is to share the webroot on the server. If you use NT then share it as webroot$. Then map it on your client as a network drive in this example we'll use G:. The settings you will need if you use the settings above are:<br>
<br>
In NT/95 etc (your client)<br>
Map \\server\webroot$ to G:<br>
<br>
Development Mapping in Studio (your client)<br>
Studio Path: G:\<br>
CF Server Path: C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot

(this is the path to the webroot that the CFSERVER has to access e.g. Local to the server)<br>
Browser Path: <A HREF="
