Hi group, I'll be needing to use a cf admin directory mapping in a project (for cfinclude, not to run as CGI). Below is what the 'administering' book says; "The mappings page in the ColdFusion Administrator allows you to create logical aliases for physical directories on your server. Mapping directories is only necessary if you want to use ColdFusion with CGI or if you want to use absolute references to ColdFusion pages with the CFINCLUDE tag." I finally wrapped my brain around the fact that these mappings are machine dependent, as opposed to web server software dependent. Meaning it doesn't give a hoot what IIS says about domains & such. This seems both powerful and dangerous, to wit: Picture an ISP or other multi-domain hosting situation. If site A needs & gets a mapping (call it /Aroot/ --> C:\Inetpub\[blahblahblah]\htdocs), can someone coding for site B 'accidentally' get access to the same area? At the least, this has me trying 'security through obscurity' when picking mapping names. Thoughts? Anything else I should know about using this feature? NT/IIS4/CF4.0 TIA!, Douglas Malcolm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
