Thank you Matt for the detailed explaination. I went back to review the code yesterday and here is what I found.
The regular domain webroot is "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web\content" folder. There is an application.cfm file in this folder and a <cfapplication> tag. When the site is opened in a browser the application/session variables are set, ex: http://www.testsite.com/index.cfm The view basket cfm page is in the content folder (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web\content) under the webroot. The template that gets called when the user hits <a href="https://www.secureweb.co.uk/testsite/order.cfm?CFID=3107295&CFTOKEN=20059956";>Proceed</a> "PROCEED" from viewbasket.cfm is in a folder under the webroot called secure (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web\secure\order.cfm). I noticed yesterday that the application.cfm file was not present in the "secure" folder. I copied it over from the "content" folder. There is a <cfinclude> tag in application.cfm that calls a template in the content folder <cfinclude template="content/appvars.cfm">. I'm getting a file not found error message and that's because the secure site does not have a folder called "content". Is there a way round this, i.e by adding a virtual directory in IIS or ColdFusion mapping? My hosting provider has provided with a readme.txt file with instructions: WEB --- This directory is the location for files connected with your web site and contains the following directories. CONTENT SECURE * (Platinum Plus customers only) CONTENT ------- This is the directory that you should upload your web site files to. Inside this directory is a file named default.asp which is a placeholder for your web site. If you are creating code that requires the physical path on the web server to this directory then it will be as follows: d:\inetpub\DOMAINNAME\web\ Replace the word domain name with your primary web site domain. For example, if the site you have signed up for is named www.mysite.com then the path would be d:\inetpub\mysite.com\web\ The CONTENT directory also contains a further directory named CGI-BIN which should be used as the location for Perl and cgi files. By default the file extension recognised on this server for Perl and cgi files is .pl SECURE (Platinum Plus customers only) ------------------------------------- Under the Platinum Plus package you have access to our shared secure server. The directory SECURE is the directory to which you should upload files that should appear under the secure site. I would really appreciate your help.
