Subdirectories will work if you customize your absolute paths properly ... If you have an application.cfm file in the root of your application, simply place this line in that application.cfm file to determine your application root directory dynamically
<cfset request.abspath = GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())> then just use this path as the starting point for all your other absolute paths. I've been able to move the app around anywhere I like without breaking any of my absolute paths... What was a little more difficult was determining the directories which exist between the web root and the application directory, i.e. the web root is in wwwroot, but the application is in wwwroot/mystuff/myapplication3 the path I want is mystuf/myapplication3 -- it's doable, but it's difficult. I used a <cfif> clause and a regular expression to do it.
