The url is http://localhost/whmedia/index.cfm My directory structure is something like this: / /whmedia /whmedia/styles /whmedia/images /whmedia/inc /whmedia/cflib You are correct in assuming that I have been trying to do it like this: /images/someimage.jpg >What I've done is to set a variable in the Application file containg my >master path.

That is what I have done in the past as well but I began to wonder what the point of doing that would be if you could just point set all the paths relative to the root. Is there any bad side effects to using paths such as /root/images/bg.gif or /images/bg.gif? They should work on both the development box and remote right?
