Perhaps something like:
<cfif IS_LOCAL>
<cfset strDocumentRoot = ExpandPath( "../../A/" ) />
<cfelse>
<cfset strDocumentRoot = ExpandPath( "../A/" ) />
</cfif>
<cfcontent
file="#strDocumentRoot#YOUR_DOC_HERE.doc"
/>
Where the IS_LOCAL is a boolean as to whether the current enrivonment is
Dev or production. As far as how to set that value, you can do a number
of things. You can hard code it. You can check the CGI values (server
name, http host???), you can check the requested Url.
Right now I go with the CGI.server_name I think (but I can't remember
off hand).

Subject: path outside webroot
We have a document storage requirement...and we want to store the files
outside the webroot and deliver them via cfcontent, in order to prevent
hotlinking of files and added security, etc.
We have our testing server, and our live server for example. The paths
on each will be different. How can I write it so it dynamically will
know what the base root for that folder structure outside the webroot
is? Start with webroot and ../ up? Best way to do it? Some
opinions most certainly welcome as we have not really fired this
architecture up before!!
Thanks!
