Could not find the ColdFusion Component

Hi,

I am trying to install the coldfusion version for the first time. I am getting the following error.

Could not find the ColdFusion Component /fckeditor/fckeditor.
Please check that the given name is correct and that the component exists.

58 :
59 : <cfscript>
60 : fckEditor = createObject("component", "/fckeditor/fckeditor");

I have tried inserting the site root path but this still does not solve the problem.

What am I doing wrong?

You should try adding a .cfc at the end of the file path.

fckEditor = createObject("component", "/fckeditor/fckeditor.cfc");

Ok tried that. still the same problem.

I have moved the site to the root of the web server as well and this made no difference either.
What should I have <cfset APPLICATION.userFilesPath = "/UserFiles/"> set too?

RE: Could not find the ColdFusion Component

In fact CFMX is waiting for the package name of your component. So if you installed fckeditor under the web root in a fckeditor folder, you must call your component using the following code:

fckEditor = createObject("component", "fckeditor.fckeditor");

fckeditor.fckeditor is the package name of your component = the path to the cfc starting from your webroot, where you replace / by . and remove the .cfc

Hope this will help...
