All mappings do is create an alias for a phsyical directory...
like say if you wanted an absolute reference for CFINCLUDE
you could make a mapping named Foo which points to /usr/home/cftagman/cftags
And say you had a lot of templates in /usr/home/cftagman/cftags then you
could use
<CFINCLUDE Template="#foo#/SomeTemplate.cfm"> and Sometemplate.cfm
would of course be in the D:\CFStuff directory.
Thats all :)
Its purely CF driven and referenced with CF basically its a nice
way to map out the absolute location for something. of course
NT machines start with drive letters ;) So I would say that a
that the Apache alias takes higher precedence than the CF
Mapping.

Subject: CF Administrator Mapping and Apache Alias
<html>
<font size=3>What exactly does CF Administrator mapping do?<br>
Does it map URLs as they come in, in other words it affects ALL http
requests even to .html files?<br>
Or does it map URLs that are to .cfm files?<br>
Or does it only affect CFINCLUDE?<br>
<br>
How does it interact with Apache directory "Alias"
mapping?<br>
<br>
I want to map certain directories for images and cfm files. I also want a
different set of mappings for my CF library of includable
"functions" so I can use <cfinclude
template="/cflib/mymodule.cfm"> although that file is NOT
located under my document root.<br>
<br>
