Hosting companies that support CF will usually create one directory mapping
that points to the directory construct that they setup for you. So if I own
a site type might choose to make a directory called /FRED and create a
directory mapping to that for me. The directory mapping is used to redirect
from the "root" when you are hosting multiple sites. So my request.cfroot
for one of my sites is
request.cfroot="/fred/htdocs/mikeandjuliecraig"
which is one of my personal sites. "/fred" is the mapping my hosting
company uses and they further chose to segregate the directory structure
into an /htdocs directory so I put the site under that. In the long run,
you just need to work with the hosting company to find out what your root
mapping will be and just build off of that. When I develop at home I always
create the same mapping and use the same directory structure they do...then
there will be no problems.

Subject: mappings question
Greetings,
I have a question on using mappings set in the cf administrator. I'm trying
to develop a product using the Fusebox methodolgy and one of the things I
want to do is use a mapping for the cfoot, as suggested in the book.
Our network admin tells me that we shouldn't do this as it will make the
site unhostable by most of the hosting companies out there. He said that
they usually have restrictions about setting up mappings and won't allow
them.
Can anyone verify this viewpoint? If I use mappings will that cause
problems if we want the product hosted anywhere on the planet?
