In the case of virtual sites or vhosts, CF will recognize the folder
specified in the config as the "webroot" for that "domain." That
applies to localhost or LAN-only accessible sites... i.e. I have my
server at http://apache1 and it has vhosts for product names...
http://sqlsurveyor is a vhost only accessible by LAN, and if I use /
in front of a path from within http://sqlsurveyor, it looks in the
folder specified in the apache config as serverRoot for that "domain
name."
Since aliases can't exist outside a server config of some sort, an
alias (apache) or a virtual directory (IIS) will look in the webroot
of the site to which it is attached.
Also, anything in {cfhome}\wwwroot will also be referenced at / so
it's not a bad place to put universally accessible things like
framework distros and so on.
Hope that helps.
