I’ve got a project with (essentially) the following folder structure:
/coldbox
/wwwroot
So normally I’d go into /wwwroot and run “box server start” from there. However I need a mapping back to that /coldbox folder to get rid of the “Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface coldbox.system.Coldbox” issue.
I personally opt for number 1 since it makes my apps more portable and I can have more than one ColdBox app running on the same server, each with a potentially different version of ColdBox installed and they won’t conflict.
