Thanks Bert,
That sounds like a great idea to me. The problem, of course, is deciding on
a standard(!!!) set of environment variables.
(Can it really be true that CF doesn't have an ENV scope hidden away, just
like CGI scope? Your tag is cool, but it really shouldn't be necessary.)
Can anyone suggest a standard set of variables? What do we really need?
Document-root, path-delimiter, Customtags directory... anything else?
Thanks again,
LBB

I've written a custom tag called whatserveristhis.cfm, which is customised
for each server, that sets request.thisserver to the name of the machine
eg on the dev box it says:
<cfset request.thisserver = "dev">
Then, in the file that sets server specific variables:
<cf_whatserveristhis>
<CFSWITCH EXPRESSION="#request.thisserver#">
<CFCASE VALUE="live">
<CFSET request.server.webroot = "e:\www\myapp\">
</CFCASE>
<CFCASE VALUE="test">
<CFSET request.server.webroot = "d:\cf\myapp\">
</CFCASE>
<CFCASE VALUE="dev">
<CFSET request.server.webroot = "f:\www\myapp\cf\hr">
</CFCASE>
<CFCASE VALUE="other">
<!--- do nought - the vars should be set in whatserveristhis.cfm on
any 'other' servers --->
</CFCASE>
<CFDEFAULTCASE>
<blink><h1>warning warning - server not configured</h1></blink>
<CFABORT>
</CFDEFAULTCASE>
</CFSWITCH>
....
