It's a user defined variable ... I use the following in app_model:
<cfregistry action="Get"
branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ActiveC
omputerName"
entry="ComputerName" type="String" variable="request.site.profile">
<cfif not IsDefined("request.site.profile")>
<cfregistry action="Get"
branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\Com
puterName"
entry="ComputerName" type="String" variable="request.site.profile">
</cfif>
<cfset request.site.profile=Replace(request.site.profile," ","")>
<cfinclude template="app_model-#request.site.profile#.cfm">
Which then pulls a specific app_model-MACHINENAME.cfm (2 registry tags one
for w98 one for w2000)that is specific for the machine it is running on so
that I'm not constantly changing variables when I switch machines ... it
contains the following:
request.Site.CFRoot="#cgi.PATH_TRANSLATED#";
request.Site.HostName="#cgi.SERVER_NAME#";
request.Site.WebRoot="/Web/";
request.Site.MachineRoot="C:\Web\";
request.Site.DSN = "MyDSN";
request.Site.imagesroot="#request.Site.WebRoot#_img/";
request.Site.title="Site Title";
request.Site.dbtype="Oracle80";
request.Site.ApplicationTimeout="20";
request.Site.MailServer="mail.server";
Then for each module I use an app_locals that contains:
// Site Specific Variables
request.Module.CFRoot="#cgi.PATH_TRANSLATED#";
request.Module.WebRoot="#request.site.WebRoot#ModuleName/";
request.Module.MachineRoot="#request.Site.MachineRoot#ModuleName\";
request.Module.DSN = "#request.site.dsn#";
request.Module.dbtype="#request.site.dbtype#";
request.Module.imagesroot="#request.site.imagesroot#";
request.Module.title="My Module";
request.Site.ApplicationTimeout="#request.Site.ApplicationTimeout#";
request.Site.MailServer="#request.Site.MailServer#";
That way I can break the modules off and use them as standalone applications
or plug them into a larger system at will. I can also change specific
varaibles for the modules if I ever need to.

I gotta ask, cuz' I don't know and its early Monday...
This request.cfroot, is it an internal variable used by CF, or is it a
user-defined variable that y'all are using to tack down the root dir for a
give app?
