How do I configure the ColdFusion 8 Debugger to work with Mach II? - Mach-II/Mach-II-Framework GitHub Wiki

You have to setup your MachII folder in the ColdFusion 8 debugger. Consider this application directory setup:

    C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\index.cfm
    C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\model\
    C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\view\

Mach-II framework core files are located here:

    C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MachII\

In this type of setup, you should have a mapping in your ColdFusion administrator for /MachII. You will have to setup the debugger to look in both of these places:

    C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\
    C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MachII\

With Intergral's Fusion Debug, you can only point to established Projects. However, the CF8 debugger does not have the same requirement and requires you to either create a Mach-II project or just add a Linked Folder to your current project.

If you want to create a Linked Folder:

Go to your site's project root in Eclipse, right-click and choose New > Folder.
Click the "Advanced" tab and check "Link to folder in the file system".
Browse to the /MachII directory and select OK.

Once this is done, the debugger should be able to find the MachII files correctly under your current setup.
