It seems .com won't work but .co.uk will... So, the next question is, how can I get IIS to not freak at .com?
And apparently the anwser is I can't on IIS5! This leads to an MS KB article. If anyone knows any different please let me know. http://servershed.co.uk/nntp/microsoft.public.inetserver.iis/53.229933/ Adrian >Hey all, got a bit of a weird one here. > >Running the following, CF8 on Win2K Server with IIS. > >Creating a new dir with a period/full stop and an index.cfm file causes a >403 when accessing the file. > >Running the following will highlight this: > ><!--- works ---> ><!--- <cfset folderName = "testcom"> ---> > ><!--- doesn't work ---> ><cfset folderName = "test.com"> > ><cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="#ExpandPath('.')#\#folderName#"> ><cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="#ExpandPath('.')#\#folderName#\css"> ><cffile action="write" file="#ExpandPath('.')#\#folderName#\index.cfm" >output="<p>#folderName#</p>"> > ><cfoutput> ><a href="#folderName#">New folder</a> ></cfoutput> > >Just run it at home on CF7 with Apache and CF8 on the built in CF server on >Win XP Pro and it works. > >Any ideas about why this won't work?
