Chris, You were right! (You've got to love it when someone says that.) The client has their 'staging' server - which is actually a single site they test multiple sites on in subdirectories. Whereas their live environment, has the site sitting in it's own directory. Just as you described. Thus, making it impossible to use "/" root level referencing because your testing on one server that is configured differently than the live server.
The client had original informed us their staging enviroment was configured the same as their live enviroment. And this being an internal server, we weren't able to confirm anything. I'm going to work with my Project Manager and the client on possible resolutions. Thanks for all of your help! Keep in touch. - Paul -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Olive [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 4:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: IIS Problem - HELP! I would very much appreciate it if you'd stop reading my mind. :) Seriously, that's exactly it. I'lll await your answer. Good luck.

I think I know where your going - What if their staging IS completely different than their live - and when they are testing, it's on a stripped down version of IIS that supports only one site, with subdirectories, and their testing on that subdirectory. "/" would be usesless in referencing. Good thought! I'll get back to you with the answer, hopefully that is the issue. Thanks!

Yes, the source of the image tag is correct. Everything works fine on our development enviroment for referencing from the root (ie "/images/something.gif"), however on their staging server it does not. It only works if it is referenced either "../images/something.gif" or "images/something.gif". It's not a matter of the code, it's a matter of the server settings to get it to accept the "/" reference for root. - Paul -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Olive [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 12:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: IIS Problem - HELP! take a look at the page. do a view source. look at the SRC of the IMG tag. is it actually correct? ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
