ColdFusion and CfxTemp

[User (Legacy)]

We installed ChartFX and have been using it with ASP for some time. Now I'm

trying to use it with ColdFusion. ColdFusion is installed on my E: drive

rather than the usual C: drive. I mapped both folders with the ColdFusion

Administrator:

        /      E:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\

        /CfxTemp/      e:\programfiles\CfxIE\CfxTemp\

        /Include/      E:\ProgramFiles\CfxIE\Include\

I tried running the simple chart in "Getting Started" and got the error:

Error CFX61B0-3:A temporary file on C:\InetPub\WWWRoot\cfxtemp could not be

created.

After verifying that "Everyone" had "Modify" access to the folder, I finally

manually created a folder on my C: drive at C:\InetPub\WWWRoot\cfxtemp\.

Now I get the gray box, but all it contains is the text "Failed to download

chart data".

I see that the temporary file is created in C:\InetPub\WWWRoot\cfxtemp\, but

I'm guessing that a different piece of ChartFX code is looking for it back

in E:\InetPub\WWWRoot\cfxtemp\.

Anyone have a similar problem?

Thanks, Leonce

Instead of creating the folder C:\InetPub\WWWRoot\cfxtemp you will want to

edit the CfxSrv.ini (located at \Program Files\CfxIE\Config) and set the

Absolute setting to point to your E:\InetPub\WWWRoot and restart your IIS

Admin service.

We use this hardcoded value because AFAIK there is no way for a control

hosted inside ColdFusion to map a relative path into a physical one.
