Chapter 2 Configuring Browsers and Servers
Using Remote Development Services
When developing outside local area networks, you access files on a ColdFusion
server across the Internet using Remote Development Services (RDS).
In such a scenario, a file that appears to Studio as
RDS://MY_RDS_SERVER/C:/webprojects/App1/index.cfm
might be viewed by the server as
C:\webprojects\App1\index.cfm
and the browser might view it using the URL
path
http://215.180.21.1/App1/index.cfm
Although the server path can be inferred from the local RDS path, you must still
create a mapping. In special scenarios, ColdFusion server to Studio path resolution
could become ambiguous. You therefore must create a mapping for the App1
directory as follows:
Defining server mappings
This section provides instructions for adding a server
mapping
in ColdFusion Studio
and in Microsoft Internet Information Server® (IIS), and how to set a default
mapping.
For more information on setting up server mappings, see Knowledge Base Articles
8347 and 8500 on the Macromedia Web site. (Note that the information in these
articles applies to Studio as well as to HomeSite.)
To add a mapping:
1
Open the
Options > Settings > Browse
pane.
2
If necessary, select either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Mozilla
NGLayout as the internal browser.
3
Click the Development Mappings button to open the Mapping tab on the Remote
Development Settings dialog box.
4
Select a
server
from the drop-down list of configured servers. If a server is not on
the list, add it. For instructions, see
“Adding server mappings” on page 19
.
5
Enter the Studio, ColdFusion, and Browser
path
information. For page browsing
on
localhost
, only the Studio and Browser paths are required.
6
Click the Add button to save the mapping, then click OK.
You can now browse your documents in the internal (F12) or external (F11) browser.
