Coldfusion 8 and Flex 2

Avatar

Level 1
I am new to Coldfusion, but I have been using Flex 2 with
.Net. I am looking to

try out Coldfusion 8. I have downloaded and installed the
full blown developer

edition and configured the server. It is running at
http://127.0.0.1:8500.



Within the Adobe Coldfusion Administrator site under Flex
Integration. I checked

the "Enable Remote Adobe LifeCycle Data Management access"
and added the local IP

address of 127.0.0.1.



I started a new Flex 2 project and chose Flex Data Services
because I read that

is now integrated with Coldfusion 8. The next screen asks for
a root folder and

it must contain WEB-INF/flex. So I browsed out to

c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex and tried to validate the
path but it keeps

saying "Invalid server root. Server root must contain a
WEB-INF/flex folder."



So I need some help because I can't even start a project.
Once again, I am very

new to Condfusion 8 and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Michael

The webroot Flex is looking for is the actual wwwroot folder.
Flex will throw and error if you are trying to link directly to the
WEB-INF/flex folder.
