In a weeks long futile attempt to conjure up a basic. PHP application, I've decided that perhaps I'll try this CFML thing.
I already have XAMPP installed and figured I would only need to install Railo on my system. At one point, the GUI installer asks for /usr/sbin/apache.ctl to be confirmed for its use but no such file exists on my system, hidden or otherwise.
Does XAMPP not need/have that file by default? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Railo and XAMPP...you can do this but Railo has a nice portable all encompassing download that uses Jetty.
Railo Express: https://github.com/getrailo/railo/wiki/Installation-ExpressJetty
Which is the best way to get up to speed on the CFML or cfscript version of coldfusion.
If you are on windows you can click the start.bat file. This will start the service where you can the navigate to localhost:8888 and you should.see you admin screen.
Railo and Coldfusion are a language and a server (service).
Behind the scenes there is a file structure you can follow and put your files that you are testing with. The link above should give you the basics to get started.
I would first test the wwwroot is picking up your files by making a simple index.html file and navigate to it through your browser.
The add a index.cfm with a simple Coldfusion hello world.
The you can dig in and get a database configured through the admin section and make some pages that do some database calls.
Oh...and welcome to the Coldfusion programming language where you can do a hell of a lot more in less time, make good pay and generally enjoy your projects more.

so my general problem right now is that I'm SSHing into another computer and would like to download Java, however a lot of what I would need to get things set up can only be accessed, from what I can tell so far, from a download off the web browser. Of course there are likely several solutions to this, such as ways to download the environment and language outside of a web browser, but at the same time I'd like to know the general strategies one would take in downloading new languages and environments on a computer they are SSHed into, or don't have as much utility in its use. Thank you!
I need some help to get Mac WebSite sharing to work as i want.
Basically i need to know how i can make it display the files of a directory.
Do i need to make a website to show my directory files or is there any other way ?
And if i do need to make a website to display my directory, what code should i use to do so ?
I am no expert on HTML at all.
Allso, i have been searching around for this and i couldn't find any answers related to my question.
You need to turn indexes on in your Apache config. This could be on by default. Check to see if you have folder named Sites in your home directory. If you do rename the index.html page (if there is one) and then navigate to http://localhost/~yourusernamehere.
The same applies if you are using the default apache directory (the system wide one) which is located in /Library/WebServer/Documents if I remember correctly. In this case you would navigate to http://localhost. I just checked on my system (OS X 10.7) and the indexes were enabled by default.
You will need to use a server-side language such as PHP, Java, ASP.NET if you want to display the 'servers' directory on a web page. I will say because you're a begineer use PHP as it's very easy to learn...
Download MAMP / XAMPP.
Research PHP and follow some tutorials first, and then implement directory searching and output it as HTML.

I'm having a massive problem trying to write a file into the c:\windows\system32 directory. The code works fine on 32 bit machines, however does not work on 64 bit machines.
My user account is an administrator on the machine, and even right clicking and choosing to run the app as administrator does not solve the issue.
When writing the file, no exception is thrown, but the file is not written.
I have read various posts regarding adding an app.manifest file containing the requestedExecutionLevel node to my solution, but as yet am unable to get this to work. I have a feeling this may be because I'm using vb.net rather than c#.net
Has anybody encountered this issue before? I'd be delighted if somebody could provide an example VS2010 VB.Net project with a correctly configured app.manifest file as I'm a little unsure whether my attempts at setting this up are correct.
(also, this is not a malicious app I am writing, I'm working on a version control app for our team and need to be able to interface with IIS files held in c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config).
Thanks
David
Maybe the file is written under UAC Virtualization and located under C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\System32

TechNet - Look under Data Redirection
Under Local Sercurity Policies there is the following option which controls UAC Virtualization.
Is it possible for a website to automatically find a folder on usb stick and upload all the files in it to the web server by clicking only one button?
The problem is that I don't know how to make upload form automatically detect usb stick as the drive name(ie. G:, F:, etc) may vary from computer to computer, so hard coding path is not possible.
Ps. I'm using yii framework for site development, but can add a new page that will handle this in any other language as the client really wants this feature.
Web sites are not allowed to set default files to upload (it's a major security risk!). Also, web sites cannot scan the hard drive/enumerate what file systems exist on a system, again, for security purposes.
It might be possibly to do this with Flash/Silverlight/Java. Java seems the most likely to allow a web developer to do this (Java plugin seems to be quite willing to give out every permission under the Sun).
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Allowing automatic uploads in web browsers would be a huge security hole so the browsers intentionally prevent it. Even if you manage to find a hole that permits it, the browser makers will break it as soon as they find out.
However, if you have an environment where an actual separate program can be installed on the end user's computer you could easily write a program to do automated uploads of specified directories when launched.
I'm trying to find a decent standalone webserver that I can load up on a jump drive.
My wife is a photographer, and I'd like to present the clients with their images on usb. When they plug it in, I'd like a web page to load up, and run some jQuery magic to show them a nice carousel of all there images.
So far, this is all fine since it can all be done client side and doesn't need a server at all.
The problem I'm facing is that I'd like some server-side code to be able to read the images out of the directory so that once the interface is built, I don't need to manually create all of the <img /> tags.
If it was primarily going to be used in a Windows environment, I'd have no problem going with IIS Express, since I'm mainly a .NET MVC developer and this would be perfect for me... However, the fact of the matter is that a large amount of our client base is also OS X users.
I did find this Java one jlHttp, and I also found this thread here on SO, but I don't think I understand enough about either one of them to accomplish what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I'm looking for the same thing, and the two best options I've found were Flying Ant cd web server and Stunnix. Of the two, Flying Ant is cheaper, and I've tested it with success on my project.
I found Mongoose very convenient for this exact purpose. It's crossplatform, lightweight and requires minimum configuration. You may be interested in this project that uses Mongoose to display pictures in a folder tree or FTP directory.
How about Node.js
It says it runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
