Created application-root.cfm with following code
<cfscript>
request.applicationRoot = getDirectoryFromPath( getCurrentTemplatePath() );
request.applicationRoot = reReplaceNoCase( request.applicationRoot, "(
\\|/)$ <file://%7C/)$>", "" );
</cfscript>
Snippet of the application.cfc
<cffunction

returntype="boolean"

variables.mode = "unknown";
result = reFindNocase( "(
\\|/)+(development|testing|staging|production)(\\|/<file://%7C/)+(development%7Ctesting%7Cstaging%7Cproduction)(//%7C/>)+",
request.applicationRoot, 1, true );
if ( arrayLen( result.pos ) gt 1 ) {
variables.mode = mid( request.applicationRoot, result.pos[ 3 ],
result.len[ 3 ] );
}
</cfscript>
