You probably need to set the cacheRealPath configuration attribute value to "false" - this is documented in the CFMX Release Notes, among other places. Edit \CFusionMX\runtime\servers\default\SERVER-INF\jrun.xml. Within this file, change the value "true" to "false" within this line: <!-- set this to false for multi-hosted sites --> <attribute name="cacheRealPath">true</attribute> This is necessary whenever you run CFMX on multiple virtual web servers. Unless this setting is changed, CFMX doesn't differentiate between files with the same name in different virtual servers.
