Hey Andrew - perhaps you should try READING the post before answering it. I never said that I've done this - or that it was a good idea. I was actually trying to be HELPFUL to the individual by answering the QUESTION HE WAS ASKING without flaming him. This is NOT something I've done or would recomend. I was merely pointing out 2 of the reasons I've heard for why folks have done it. does that mean I've "never worked in a production environment..." . I think not <snip>

And the fact that you mention that the files can be edited directly, tells me that you have never worked in a true production environment. By this I mean that it is not a good idea to make changes to any website while it is live, this gives the user the false feeling that the site is not ever finished. Not to mention that while you are working out the bugs the user also gets to see the errors and can be put of big time with this. Never a good idea to make changes to a live site until you are 100% sure the site is ready to go live!! -----Original Message----- From: Mark A.

I've seen it done to convert a site to CF without the necessity of duplicating all the files. The files can be edited directly and CFML added as needed. It is also done as a way to implement obscurity - to sheild users from seeing what technology is being used. ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
