I have been using CFCs on a pc for quite a while and have reciently been able
to get CF to run on my Mac. I installed it as a standalone server and have
verified that it is working through standard code however I can't use CFCs as I
recieve messages that it can find the cfc. I have tried several different
paths and syntaxes but I can't get it work. The web root is wwwroot and I have
my project (site) folders under this folder. Do I need to map something in the
CF Administrator for it to see them and if so what and how do I do that.
Anyone been able to get this to work? Thanks!

Jason,

I work on a Mac and, in general, I setup mappings for each of my applications.
If I have an application in my cf web root called "myapp". I would setup the
mapping as:
mapping: /myapp
path: /Applications/JRun4/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/myapp/

As you can tell from my path, I installed CFMX (7.0.2.x) on top of JRun4 (so
it's a little more contorted to get to my cf web root directory).

In my cf code, I would call the cfc like this:
<cfscript>
objMyCfc = createObject("component","myapp.MyCfc");
objMyCfc.init();//etc.
</cfscript>

I've not had any problems using CFCs (and I use them in every application).

Hope this helps!
Craig
