Re: IIS Virtual DIrectories and Shared Scope Vars
That was it - there was a default mapping i overlooked on that machine to \ - removing it fixed the problem. Sometimes you can stare at things too long! 1 : 2 : cfinclude template=/application.cfm 3 : For my life, I cannot figure out why. On the server that DOES work, we have no special CUSTOM TAG PATHS, no MAPPINGS,.and it works joyfully - its only on this new server. I'm fairly certain you're wrong about that. Any time you use a slash as the first character within the path for CFINCLUDE or CFMODULE, the path is always resolved via a mapping. I strongly suspect that you have at least one mapping; the one that comes with a default install of CF, and is mapped to wherever you specified as your web root during the install.

Re: IIS Virtual DIrectories and Shared Scope Vars
hmm... Depending on the App you might get away with a CF mapping instead, but the issue is simple. All it is, is a directory structure that will be included as part of the website. So when the code is run in there it should run using the same Application.cfm / Application.cfc that is used from the calling Application. So what does that mean, remove the need for Application.cfm altogether from your common VD. On 5/10/07, Ben Shichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello I posted this about a year ago, but got it working on a server of ours - now on a new server, same problem, and cant figure out why. Very simple: We have multiple sites: Site 1 Site 2 Site 3 Etc... Each is in its own directory structure, has its own application.cfm, etc. Each one has a virtual mapping in IIS to a directory called COMMON, that has some shared code. So within the IIS site for each site, there is a Virtual Directory mapping to this Common directory. Now, in the directory for COMMON, we have coldfusion code that we want to be able to access the scoped variables (such as application, request, etc) of each individual site when called from that site. So in the COMMON directory, there is an APPLICATION.CFM file that has one line: cfinclude template=/application.cfm This works flawless on one production server, but on another, we just get an error: Could not find the included template /application.cfm. Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (e.g. TEMPLATE=/mypath/index.cfm) with CFINCLUDE then you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Using relative paths (e.g. TEMPLATE=index.cfm or TEMPLATE=../index.cfm) does not require the creation of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible. The error occurred in D:\hostedsites\clientsites\common\Application.cfm: line 2 1 : 2 : cfinclude template=/application.cfm 3 : For my life, I cannot figure out why. On the server that DOES work, we have no special CUSTOM TAG PATHS, no MAPPINGS,.and it works joyfully - its only on this new server. We are using CF version 7,0,2,142559 and IIS 5.0. Help is needed and appreciated!

RE: IIS virtual directories
ugh...this would be part of best practices...along with removing most of the script mappings too.

RE: IIS virtual directories
With IIS 5.0, can I delete the IISADMIN, MSADC and printers virtual directories w/o any problems to our website? I don't do any administration of the site except directly on the machine. Also, can I delete the Admin Web Site? What is it used or? Run the IIS Lockdown utility first on a development server running IIS -- it will give you a good idea of what can be safely deleted. -- Aidan Whitehall mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental Ltd +44 (0)1695 51775 Queen's Awards Winner 2003 http://www.fairbanks.co.uk/go/awards This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
