I just created a folder struct of [root]/one/two/bob.cfm
and put the code:
<cfoutput>#getDirectoryFromPath(expandPath("/"))#</cfoutput>
in bob.cfm, and it gave me the correct web root...
I also put a onRequestStart function in my Application.cfc:
<cffunction name="onRequestStart" output="true">
<p>
here: <cfoutput>#getDirectoryFromPath(expandPath("/"))#</cfoutput>
</p>
</cffunction>
ran "/one/two/bob.cfm"...and the correct web root was output
so from my testing
<cfoutput>#getDirectoryFromPath(expandPath("/"))#</cfoutput>
works every time...
