SandBox Security

[Aida Nixon]

Hello Everyone

I hope someone out there can help me with the issue I am having with setting up Sandbox Security.  

Here's the scenario

My application server is separate from the IIS server

configuration

C: OS
D: Applications (includes the coldfusion install)
F: Cfusion Logs

My WebServer is as follows:

C: OS

D: Applications (not IIS)

E: IIS installed within the InetPub I have 3 top level directories for different sites

F:  IISLOGs

My problem is when I try to create a new Sandbox for any of the 3 different directories I get "Invalid directory, please check your directory and try again".  

I have configure the jvm.config file on the Coldfusion server with the correct arguments and have not had a problem configuring the rest of the Admin Console until I came to this.

Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong.  I can't browse to the directory because I don't have RDS enabled.

TIA

Aida

As your CF code is on D:, that's where the sandboxes should point.

Thanks for your response but I am a little confused.  If I have IIS installed on the E: drive and under the Inetpub I have 3 root directories that I want to secure which I will be restricting certain CFTags, functions, etc.  and my websites will be under these directories how can I set the Sandbox for these directories on D:

Thanks again.

Aida

CF serves your apps from the CF server, if you're using the
distributed config. It's not reading the files form the IIS server.
So, anything you expect CF to serve needs to be copied to the CF
server in the same places.
