Just to clarify: the document root *is* known to CF and it *does* search that for paths that begin with '/' - it no longer needs the explicit '/' mapping (on some install configs, it seems?). Adding an explicit '/' mapping will actually change the search order slightly (since the document root becomes just another mapping), as I understand it. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
