Hello. I have been working on converting a Fusebox 5 application over to Coldbox. To date, most of the work was done using Command Box’s built-in server. I am now trying to move the application over to the Adobe CF11 server that is built in to AB3. Unfortunately, I keep getting the following error:
# Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface coldbox.system.web.services.BaseService.
This occurs in even brand new projects that have not been altered. The ColdBox directory is under the root of my project. The BaseService.cfc file is in the services directory where it belongs. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, that did not help. Still receiving the same error. I have included the full error message below:
# Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface coldbox.system.web.services.BaseService.
Ensure that the name is correct and that the component or interface exists.
The error occurred in C:/ColdFusionBuilder3/ColdFusion/cfusion/wwwroot/CBTest/coldbox/system/web/Controller.cfc: line 88 Called from C:/ColdFusionBuilder3/ColdFusion/cfusion/wwwroot/CBTest/coldbox/system/Bootstrap.cfc: line 69 Called from C:/ColdFusionBuilder3/ColdFusion/cfusion/wwwroot/CBTest/Application.cfc: line 30 |

Please confirm exactly what version of ColdBox you have installed here:
C:/ColdFusionBuilder3/ColdFusion/cfusion/wwwroot/CBTest/coldbox/
You can look in coldbox/system/web/config/settings.cfc to confirm.
What I think is likely the problem is that you have more than one copy of ColdBox floating around your server. Check for a server level CF mapping for /coldbox that might be getting in the way. Also, ensure in your ColdFusion administrator that you have the cache component paths turned off as that can allow for nasty bleed over from other sites.
Version is 4.2.0+00002. Coldbox was installed to the project via CommandBox. I have turned off the cache component and restarted the server. I also verified that no mappings exist at the server level for Coldbox. Same error. Not certain I understand “that file doesn’t exist in Coldbox 4.2”. Below is my coldbox dir structure:
BaseService.cfc is present under the web/services folder.
I still think there’s another mapping getting in the way somewhere. See what the above outputs and if it give you any clues where ColdFusion is looking for your files.
Added code. Here is the output:
C:\ColdFusionBuilder3\ColdFusion\cfusion\wwwroot\CBTest
array [empty]
Odd that it shows the directory as empty, but can find the LoggingService.cfc to know it inherits from BaseService.cfc.
Thank you again for helping out. I’m pretty new with ColdBox. I can run it under the built-in CommandBox server, but that won’t help much going forwards!
That doesn’t look right at all. The /coldbox mapping shouldn’t pointing to CBTest, it should be pointing to C:/ColdFusionBuilder3/ColdFusion/cfusion/wwwroot/CBTest/coldbox
That’s not right at all. You’re pointing the coldbox mapping to the root folder that the app lives in. That mapping needs to point to the coldbox folder.
ColdFusion seems a little confusing in how it resolves mappings sometimes which is why I think the framework was able to SOMEWHAT boot up by finding the coldbox folder there in the app root. however, at some point, it starts using the mapping which doesn’t work. This is probably due to the rules for cfc path lookups where the current dir is checked before mappings. The first file to run (Application.cfrc) is in the same folder as the coldbox folder so the code in there finds the framework.
