The problem is that the directory test is just that a directory in the root of the web server, when you define your links I am guessing that you are using href="/" and then followed by whatever you wish to link too.
Because the webserver (internal ColdFusion) sees this as a normal directory, then the href's will translate to the root of your server. The only solution to do something like this would be to use either IIS / Apache and use the web connectors to then connect ColdFusion to the site defined in either of those. ColdFusion's internal web server was designed to get up and running quickly, but it was never designed to be used to server multiple sites like this. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 12:03 PM, Nick Gleason <[email protected]>wrote: > > Hi folks, > > Kind of a noob question here.
