I'm straight relative. I don't like the idea of rebuilding a crashed server
and trying to get all the mappings in place before anything works.

That decision also has a lot to do with the structure of the applications
here.

Subject: Re: Relative(document) vs site root paths

Relative paths for anything that sits below the webroot and absolute paths
for anything accessible from the browser.

Why make it harder on your self. If it's a tough directory to get to,
meaning it's 3 or 4 levels deep might as well make a mapping for it and call
it a day.

#ApplicationWebRoot#/Directory/File.cfm
or ../../../../../Directory/File.cfm  - yuck.

Subject: Relative(document) vs site root paths

What are everyone's thoughts on this subject?

I like relative.  Relative work better with cfincludes and don't require
creating a mapping in the cfadmin. I've been raised on raltive paths. I
have a newbie that is using site root paths.

I've read the help files and they tell you to chose what you're most
comfortbale with.

Please post your thoughts.

Thanks
