cfchart problem

Hi,

I'm trying to make a dynamic graph with CFMX and everything seems to be fine except that image won't actually display, I get the "broken image" icon. When I check the properties of the image it says it's trying to get it from:
http://<myserver>/CFIDE/GraphData.cfm?graphID=Images/100007.JPG

(it doesn't really say <myserver> I just don't want you guys visiting the development server... )

I didn't have a CFIDE folder in that location, and my "real" CFIDE doesn't have a GraphData.cfm in it.

The book I'm working from doesn't mention any troubleshooting steps for this type of situation.

Any help appreciated!

This path:

http://<myserver>/CFIDE/GraphData.cfm

must work. Do you have CFIDE mapped with a web server mapping?

I'm not sure there really is a file called "graphdata.cfm", it's something that CF is doing under the hood. Can you get to the CF administrator to confirm the CFIDE directory is correctly mapped?

I don't have access. The someone that does took a vacation day.

If that path must be correct, do you have any other ideas? I've tried an example right out a book and I get the same results so I'm thinking the problem must be a configuration issue.

Agreed. Check the path and the virtual mapping.

Although the URL says CFIDE/GraphData.cfm, it has nothing to do with a physical file in the CFIDE directory.

The reason why it doesn't work is most likely the absence of a virtual dir called 'JRunScripts'. This virtual dir should point to [cfroot]\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1 with NO read and write permissions and execute permissions set to 'Script and Executables'.

HTH,
