It kinda depends on what you are doing with your code and how you are
doing development, but here is what I do:
/approot/ (application root directory)
/approot/wwwroot/ (contains front controller index.cfm, and any
image / js / css files)
/approot/model/ (contains all CFCs)
/approot/views/ (contains all .cfm files)
/approot/config/ (contains framework specific config files)
/approot/docs/ (contains any documentation)
/approot/tags/ (cutsom tags)
...etc...
Now on the development server, the approot is directly inside my IIS
root folder. This allows me to internally reference CFCs like
"model.path.to.cfc" without making CF mappings for each one. Pretty
much zero configuration on the mappings in dev.
In production, I map the /approot/wwwroot directory to be the site's
root dir and then create one CF mapping where /approot is mapped to
"appname" so that I can still call components using
"model.path.to.cfc".
This way you only have one thing to configure in production, and zero
things to configure in dev.

I have continuously struggled with organizing files and setups between my
production and development environments.
I'm working with a number of sites, and each of them is usually on a shared
host. On my development machine I have directories for each site.
Development Production
webroot/Site1/ / (The webroot for this site)
webroot/Site2/ / (The webroot for this site)
webroot/Site3/ / (The webroot for this site)
My question is the best way to reference various files with this situation.
Say I've got an /include/ directory that needs to be loaded with pages in
the site's root or in sub-directories. What's the best way to do this.
One way, I've managed this is to setup a session variable, SESSION.webroot
that gets loaded onAppStart by Application.cfc. Then I can just reference
the directory as #SESSION.webroot#include/filename.cfm.
It just seems like there ought to be a better way to reference common
directories like include, images, etc.
What's the best practice?
Thanks,
Clarke
