Did you all move to a new open source site, and forget to put it on the updates. or was "a matter of days" jumping the gun somewhat?

Is this still moving forward?

Seems to have lost a little momentum since January..

I have connected to MSSQL,

I used JTDS, and I simply dropped the jar file in the lib folder, and added the data-source via the admin screen..

There was nothing more too it than that..

Does anyone out there have a custom tag working, which is in the customtags folder of the app, not co-located with the CFM.

If so, are you running under tomcat?

Is it possible that I should look instead, to trying a different servlet container?

Have you double checked that the mysql user that you are using, has access to log onto the DB you are trying to connect to, from the host you are trying to connect from?

That's normally my problem with MySQL authentication, forgetting that it's host specific

Right, I don't think I explained particularly well...

I have tomcat : c:\java\tomcat

In there my Smith WebApp, I'm using "root"

but I have also tried using another app name such as "smith"..

so my webapp is sitting

c:\java\tomcat\webapps\root\

I have custom tags in

c:\java\tomcat\webapps\root\customtags

(which should be <app root>/customtags

and Smith is installed in web-inf

c:\java\tomcat\webapps\root\web-inf\

I have a page in the "root" folder which uses a <cf_timezone> tag,

in ROOT\customtags I have timezome.cfm, but it does not find it.

however if I put the timezome.cfm in the "root" folder, then it will resolve and continue.. But I have several pages in several folders, and don't want to duplicate the custom tags in each folder..

I had the same issues..

I grabbed tools.jar from the JDK I have installed (c:\java\jdk\lib\tools.jar)
and dropped it into tomcat (c:\java\tomcat\common\lib)

I then get the second error.. until I restart Tomcat.. at which point it starts working..

Does anyone have any tips for getting the custom tags working?

I'm deployed in Tomcat under ROOT, and I have ROOT/customtags with my tags in, and I get the message saying they need to be in <app root>/customtags

when I try <app root>/tags , I have the same problem.

I tried putting a fully qualified path in, ie c:\myapp\tags but then it blew up the custom tag admin screen...

Dropping the single tag in the folder with the file using it, did fix that problem, but I have a bunch of tags, used across many folders, so that's not really a viable solution.
