I'm trying to set up a flex - coldfuison project using IIS. I'm running IIS 7
under vista and have cold fusion installed and running. The web root under IIS
is Inetpub/wwwroot and have been able to run a .cfm page stored in a folder
under wwwroot without problem. That said, when I try to set up a new Flex 3
project using cold fusion I run into trouble. In the Flex 3 Coldfusion wizard
Configuration page I let the installation server default to standalone. I set
the coldfusion root folder pointed to the Inetput/wwwroot directory. I pointed
the Web Root to the folder where my cf files are kept and the root URL to
http://localhost/, which is where I can run my cf pages from. But no matter
what I do I get the following error when I go to validate the configuration:
"The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or
services-config.xml." It doesn't matter if I change the web root of the
coldfusion8 directory or to the web root of the Inetpub folder. I also tried
to point to the WEB-INF/Flex folder I get the same error.
Can someone give me the configuration setting for using Flex 3 - coldfusion -
IIS.

Thanks,
Tom

If you are running the standalone CF installation, you do not use IIS and the
server root is http://localhost:8500/. To use http://localhost/ you need CF
installed under IIS, not as standalone.
