Glassfish, railo and coldbox - messed up links?


I am new to ColdFusion and ColdBox (and programming). I tried to setup ColdBox but some of the links in the sample applications are broken.

My configuration is a GlassFish v3 installation with the current Railo OSS. I access my site through Apache 2.2.14.

So instead of http://127.0.0.1:8080/railo/ I access my environment trough http://railo/.

In Railo I have a webroot mapping / to C:/webapps/myproject/.

I have copied the current ColdBox 3M4 to C:/webapps/myproject/coldbox. I can access the dashboard through http://railo/coldbox/dashboard/index.cfm and have access to all options.

My problems start the moment I try to open the sample gallery:

HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\webapps\viss-dev\coldbox\samples
(Zugriff verweigert)
note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are
available in the GlassFish v3 logs.
GlassFish v3 

OK, no problem, just enter the link directly: http://railo/coldbox/samples/index.cfm.

The site looks plain, who cares - BUT all local links look like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080/coldbox/samples/applications/helloworld/index.cfm (railo is replaced with 127.0.0.1:8080).

Looks like trouble. To make my confusion perfect: when I try to access the login app: http://railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm and hit the submit button, I am redirected to this address: http://railo/railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm.

I believe that this is not really ColdBox-related, but it manifests itself when I try to use ColdBox, so here I am.

P.S.: amazon.de takes too long to ship the ColdBox book :(


Solution
