Sorry to break it to you, but I don't that's achievable.
You can get the root of CF by calling an empty ExpandPath():
#ExpandPath("")#
But that just gives you ColdFusion's root, which isn't necessarily going to
be your web server root.
IMO, the best thing to do to handle general location-ing(?) is to create a
root mapping yourself. Make a mapping called "/" that points to the web
server root, then everything should fall into place after that. If you are
on a hosted server, kindly ask the admins to create one for you, or create a
more specific mapping for each site of yours. If they can't do either of
these very basic, necessary tasks...dump 'em, there are plenty of shared
hosting providers out there that will.
Other than with a mapping, CF has no idea what the root of your web server
is. I've searched long and hard, there's just no definitive
variable/function out there->
