One way to do that is to put store your application variables in your SQL database (or whatever database you use).
That way, in your appication.cfm / application.cfc files, you can do a query to pull out the values for various application variables such as file_upload_path, application_home, debug_setting and so forth. So long as an application variable used by one web application is defined in the table for all web applications. I am sure that is clear as mud. :-) So, here is an example: Put the following two blocks of code in your application.cfm / application.cfc files: <cfquery name="application.application_wide_variables" datasource="my_dsn"> select application_name, application_home, file_upload_path from control_center </cfquery> <cfset application.application_name = application.application_wide_variables.application_name> Just to be sure to set up a data source by the same name (my_dsn in this example) in all of your applications.
