I instantiate a "paths.cfc" in the application with an "AppRootOffset"
property (if the site were at /mysite1/ then the AppRootOffset would be
"/MySite1") using that and the functions in the CFC you can calculate any
paths you need. Move the site and all you have to do is update the
AppRootOffset.
(Actually I don't even do that - the AppRootOffset is calculated
automatically using the location of the application.cfm which is assumed to
be at the root of the application.)
It works a treat.

I've run across a good way to do this if you happen to be using fusebox (or
similar that runs all requests through a single file).
In your index.cfm at root level, check the cgi.server_name using contains
if cgi.server_name contains "domain1.com"
cfinclude domain1/corefile.cfm
else if cgi.server_name contains "domain2.com"
cfinclude domain2/corefile.cfm
You'll need to tweak all references to images, _javascript_ and css files to
account for the extra directory level, but otherwise it works very well.
each application can be self-contained and it's completely seemless to your
users.
