That host name doesn’t appear to be mapped to your web root. I get an “Red Hat Application Stack Test Page”.

Also, what version of CF do you have installed?

Thanks!

This are the maps and files that are in the root on my server:

Hi Brad.It is a subdomain for me to test on. Coldfusion 9 is running on the server!

Thanks Donald

The root of your server’s hard drive, or your web root? I’m going to assume the latter since I can access

http://contentbox.sothenwhat.com/CONTENTBOX_RUNNING.TXT

First of all, it appears you have tried to set up a ContentBox Express install in your web root. That’s not really how Express is intended to be used (at least not in the web root anyway). If you are going to use it, PLEASE change all the default passwords that comes with

Frankly though, I’m not sure where to begin. Express is built on Railo, but based on the 404 I get when I type in /randomFileName.cfm you also have ColdFusion running on this machine. I’d have to see your web server virtual hosts and a number of other things to even begin to see if you have ContentBox set up right.

I’d recommend hiring a server admin who’s familiar with Railo/ColdFusion/Whatever you’re planning on using and have them help you get your server running.

Thanks!

Hi Brad,

I decided to delete everything and to make a fresh start. So I deleted the previous upload, downloaded the source. instead of the Express and uploaded it to the server! When I hit the domain i get the following error:

Error in executing the DDL.
Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

What is the reason for this error, and what can I do about it?

Thank you in advance,
Donald

Invalid CFML construct found on line 144 at column 25.
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:

for

The CFML compiler was processing:

A script statement beginning with for on line 144, column 25.
A script statement beginning with { on line 142, column 35.
A script statement beginning with if on line 142, column 17.
A script statement beginning with function on line 114, column 9.

and after debugging it gives me this information:

The error occurred in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Contentbox\modules\contentbox\model\content\BaseContent.cfc: line 144

143 : result[ “comments” ] = [];
144 : for( var thisComment in variables.comments ){
145 : arrayAppend( result[ “comments” ], thisComment.getMemento() );
