RE: path outside webroot

I saw the same thing in the docs Dave, but it still seems that it does something other than it should or at least something other than what anyone would want it to do even though it takes 1 option... a RELATIVE path, the docs claim the slash is read from a mapping... but, if the path

Perhaps something like: cfif IS_LOCAL cfset strDocumentRoot = ExpandPath( ../../A/ ) / cfelse cfset strDocumentRoot = ExpandPath( ../A/ ) / /cfif cfcontent file=#strDocumentRoot#YOUR_DOC_HERE.doc / Where the IS_LOCAL is a boolean as to whether the current

I don't use expandpath() though. For me, expandPath('/') gives the wwwroot of the CF install directory and NOT the path relative to my IIS setup. As it should. CF doesn't know anything about your IIS setup. From the docs: To resolve a path, this function uses virtual mappings that are

I indeed can, but I don't get why expandpath('/') returns something completely different than expandpath('.') especially if, like you said, CF doesn't know anything about my IIS setup... Slashes are resolved using mappings, as per the docs. Dots are resolved using the current location on
