Coldfusion mx 7.0.2 - 404 errors

Question

i just installed coldfusion mx 7.0.2 on a centos (linux rhel
basically) server. everything seems to be going pretty well, i can
access the coldfusion administrator from the internal web server on
port 8500, i can access the administrator using symlinks by using a
configured connector on port 80 as i need to ... my problem comes
when i am working with virtual hosts.
if i am working on one of my domain names, say that has its
web root in /home/isom/public_html i cannot get coldfusion to load
http://www.domain.com/index.cfm.
it tells me file not found. of course, in the public_html folder,
there is an index.cfm...there is no application.cfm, the index.cfm
template is not cfincluding anything else...its just a test file
with very basic output in it.
i created a symlink to where CFIDE is in
/home/isom/public_html, and i can access
http://www.domain.com/CFIDE/administrator
flawlessly, everything works.
however, if i copy the index.cfm test file into
/opt/jrun4/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war and then access
http://www.domain.com/index.cfm,
it works just fine.
am i missing something here? am i not supposed to be creating
coldfusion templates in the documentroot of the site? do i have to
use the cfusion-war directory for all of them? im confused, i swear
this thing should be able to work the way i have it...

Answer 1

to further this, i have managed to get this working a little
better, but still have the same issue.
www.domain1.com is running coldfusion from a jrun server
named cfusion installed to /opt/jrun4/servers/cfusion
www.domain2.com is running coldfusion from jrun a server
named isom installed to /opt/jrun4/servers/isom
www.domain1.com is the default apache web site, nothing
fancy, the thing that says "congratulations, it worked!" or
whatever apache says when you go to it the first time. i created
symlinks to the CFIDE folder in the cfusion jrun server.
administrator works fine.
www.domain2.com is a user web site that i actually want to
work on. this is where i want to create my CF documents. i have
created symlinks to the CFIDE folder in the isom jrun server.
administrator works fine.
this is all working fine, sandboxes are working and seperate,
each of the jrun coldfusion servers is configurable seperately. i
dont really care, i only have one site i want to work on with
coldfusion.
here is a shorter description of my actual problem than i
used before:
i can create cfm templates, and they work just fine if i put
them into /opt/jrun4/servers/isom/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF.
i want to be able to put them into /home/isom/public_html and have
them execute as though they are the document or web root for the
server accessible from
http://www.domain2.com
i have tried changing the context root for the jrun servers,
and it just broke them, so i reinstalled and got back to where i
was, lol...this is so different than on windows, although i did
manage to get windows to do this with 7.0 a few years back on a
fresh install ... i managed to resolve it there though.
