Re: application.cfm question

The error you have there is a *compile time* *syntax* error, the code will be compiled before the request is 'run' which is why you see the error. If you change the code in index.cfm to cfset variable = undefinedVar /, the code will compile fine and will then abort in your app.cfm as the error

Re: application.cfm question

John CF will just process the application.cfm of the original file not from any directory where the included file comes from (if different from the calling file) e.g. /dir1/ /dir1/dir2 - both dir1 and dir2 have their own application.cfm If you have a file in dir1 and this includes a file in

RE: application.cfm question a n other question

couldn't you put a file in the root directory, set CF_TEMPLATE_PATH to some var, then include that file and call the var? you'd have to strip out the name of the file that sets the var though. Yeah, that's a good idea. Didn't think about using a file other than Application.cfm (doh!).

ColdFusion first looks in the directory where the current template is being executed. If no application.cfm file is found, it will traverse up the DIRECTORY tree, ALL THE WAY to the root of the drive the application is on: /root/www/cgi-bin/ /root/www/ /root/ -Andy -Original

RE: application.cfm question a n other question

How does CF server look for application.cfm? For example, let's say there is a directory structure like this: [ snip ] It looks for an application.cfm file in the same directory as the template that is being called. If it can't find one, it goes up a directory and looks for one there. If

RE: application.cfm question

Cold Fusion Server will look for Application.cfm in the directory that the template was called from and continue up the directory tree until it hits the root. This is an example using NT and IIS. So, If you call your application from d:\inetpub\root\www\cgi-bin\, it will look here first then

RE: Application.cfm Question...

One other thing I forgot to mention in my previous mail is that once it finds the first application.cfm file during the search from the current directory upwards, it stops. It does not search upwards for any more application.cfm files. So, if you have an application.cfm file in your root, and
