What it looks like you need is a webserver mapping (aka virtual
directory)
your webserver not cf should make to the path so for example
if i setup a mapping (virtual directory in the iis world) in my
webserver as
follows:
/imageroot/ maps to c:\imagesdir\
then when i call
http://www.myserver.com/imageroot/ the webserver will point to the
c:\imagesdir\
the cfadmin mappings are only useful for the coldfusion engine to help
find
templates to cfinclude or cfmodule
you can contact me if you have additional questions,

Subject: image mapping question
How do I insert an image using the actual path similar to
<img src="c:\imagesdir\image.jpg">
with unix file system? When I use
<img src="/prj/photos/GIF/72.90.8.color/image.jpg">
it translates it like it were a relative path (properties show
http://www.mydomain.com/prj/photos/GIF/72.90.8.color/image.jpg)
I tried to map the folder in administrator by putting
Logical Path : /images/
Directory Path : /prj/photos/GIF/72.90.8.color/
then changed the image tag to read
<img src="/images/image.jpg">
and still nothing.....Does anyone know how to get around this
situation?
***
Also to be noted in our administrator we have mapped
Logical Path : /
Directory Path : /prj/webdev
I don't know if this makes a difference.
