Hi, John. Are you certain that the "test" folder is in the hierarchy of your site? I've never heard of an application.cfm that wouldn't work if it was somewhere in the hierarchy. It's my understanding that CF will keep search up the hierarchy of folders searching for an application.cfm or .cfc until it reaches the root directory. The first one it finds is the one it reacts to.
Just curious as to why this isn't working for you.
