When the ColdFusion IIS connector installs it creates two virtual directories for each site the first is called
jakarta, and is necessary for ColdFusion to process requests through IIS, and the second is CFIDE which can
be removed.
4.1.5 Setup Virtual Directory alias for /CFIDE/scripts/
Because we have blocked
/CFIDE/scripts
and it is a security best practice to change the location of this to
a non-default location we must setup a virtual directory in each site that relies on the assets in there.
Here’s a short list of tags or features that may require /CFIDE/scripts: cfajaxproxy, cfcalendar, cfchart
(HTML5), cfdiv, cfform, cfgrid, cflayout,cfmediaplayer,cfmenu cftextarea,cfpod, cfprogressbar, cfslider, cftooltip,
cfwindow
In this guide we choose a virtual directory mapping of
/cf-scripts/
but you should choose a unique
mapping name for your server.
Once the virtual directory is in place you can update the ColdFusion administrator to specify the new URI for
/CFIDE/scripts under the Server setting page:
Replace /CFIDE/scripts/ with the new virtual directory URI, eg:
/cf-scripts/
