RE: a different cffile upload ?

[HOwens]

Because my hosting environment is a cluster, I need to use a UNC path, while
my local environment is just one machine. So for me, the
GetDirectoryFromPath() method doesn't work.

Here's what I do -- on the Application.cfm page:

<cfswitch expression="#CGI.SERVER_NAME#">

<cfcase value="localhost">
        <cfscript>
                //set DSN variable
                        request.GLDSN='localDSN';

                        request.siteurl='http://localhost/mysite/';
                        request.securesiteurl='http://localhost/mysite/';
                        request.pictureupload='c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite';
                        request.filewrite='c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\';
                
                //linkpath, below, is generally a cold fusion mapping set up
in the administrator
                        request.cfmapping='/sitemapping/';
        
        </cfscript>     
                        
                        
        </cfcase>


<cfcase value="www.livedomain.com">
        <cfscript>
                //set DSN variable
                        request.GLDSN='liveDSN';

                        request.siteurl='http://www.livedomain.com/';
                        request.securesiteurl='https://www.livedomain.com/';
                        request.pictureupload='\\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite';
                        request.filewrite='\\\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\';
                
                //linkpath, below, is generally a cold fusion mapping set up
in the administrator
                        request.cfmapping='/sitemapping/';
        
        </cfscript>     
                        
                        
        </cfcase>

</cfswitch>

With this system, I don't have to keep switching things around depending on
what server I'm using (I actually set the Application.cfm page for about
four different server environments I might us for devleopment, production
and deployment).

Maybe this will help you.
