Problems connecting to verity collection creation form

Question

1. Am running CF MX7. Am following directions in CF
documentation to create a form by which a user can create a CF
Collection for a Verity search. I'm having several problems.
2. I created a form and an action page, that it's suggested
that I put in the MyApps directory in the cf_root. Well, Since I'm
running IIS, I don't have a MyApps folder or a cf_root folder, the
root folder of the default Website, is wwwroot/. And I've created a
MyApps folder and put both pages in the folder.
3. It suggests that to access the Create Collection form, one
should type
http://Hostname:Port/myapps/name
of file.cfm
So I've tried many purmutations of that. I continue to get a
Page not found error. No CF errors, just a page not found error.
4. One other item may be affecting this problem, but I don't
know how to get around it. The Home page of the site is in a
subfolder of the wwwroot folder as apposed to being dumped directly
into the wwwroot folder.
Can anyone assist me? WCW

Answer 1

Thanks, I did do that, and also changed the URL I was using
to access the Create Collection form. I am running IIS, also, my
Website root folder is not actually inside the wwwroot or Inet Pub.
But the Home Page is set to the actual location of the Website
folder. So, the MyApps folder is inside the root folder of the
Website, even though it's in a different location.
Don't understand why you need a port number. And what port
number would that be anyway? If I put port 80, which is the port of
the Web site, hit enter, it just disappears when the browser
resolves the address. Don't really need it.
Anyway, I can get to the creation form, create a collection,
and have written pages to index the collection.
Now my problem is that the results I get when executing a
search is a list of Paths, not URLs. Very strange. Don't know if
I'm filling out the form wrong or whether my coding is wrong, but
Search results should NOT show the PATH to the page, but the URL.
Does anyone recognize this incorrect result? Any idea of what
I could be doing wrong? If so, I could really use some assistance.
Thanks, WCW
