I've spent a good while going through the forums, google, and quite a few other
websites and done just about everything listed to fix my problem...

We moved our system to dedicated server. We have CFMX7 installed and are
running several websites on that box. We use several charts through the sites
and none of them work! I used the work-around listed on the forums to set the
cache directory as a virtual directory in IIS and using cfdirectory to get the
list of files, etc... but I don't want to go through every single page that
uses cfchart & do this workaround...

I've checked the IIS connectors, made sure that CFMX7 was installed correctly,
checked the required virtual directories & made sure they have the correct
settings... I setup the 0-byte files in CFIDE and all that crap...

I've been at this for a good while and have nothing to show for it...

No matter what I do, I can't get a chart to load. If I set the chart to FLASH
then I get a blank flash section... when I right-click on it the menu says that
the flash movie has not been loaded...

If I set the chart to any sort of image, I get that red-X since it can't find
the image.

My boss is at the breaking point with all this. Please help!

I too had the problem you describe and after much effort solved it by adding a
Virtual Directory for the CFIDE folder to each domain in IIS Manager.

1) Open IIS Manager
2) Right-click the domain you want to modify
3) Select New > Virtual Directory...
4) Click Next and enter CFIDE as the alias
5) Click Next and enter the path for your CFIDE directory (default is
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE)
6) Click Next and check off the Read and Run scripts (such as ASP) boxes
7) Click Next to complete the wizard

I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

Just adding the virtual directory didn't work for me (I'm on mx 6.1...)

But I did get it working with a combination of the virtual directory and
adding a few files to the CFIDE directory.

I also found another note on some blog somewhere that had me do the following:

Create a blank file (i.e. new txt file, but change the name) in the following
directory:

c:\InetPub\wwwroot\CFIDE\GraphData.cfm

And create a new directory and blank file in the following place:

c:\InetPub\wwwroot\CFIDE\main\ide.cfm

For me, it took both the mapping and the files...

I hope this helps!

I tried all of these. I installed the recent updates and the charts are working.
