Hi Chris,
you're correct that i don't want to use a relative path, as i always want to
determine my config directory as one level above the webroot. I do not hard
code my mapping paths into app.cfc, i use a convention in all my apps that
the config directory is one level above the webroot - this works fine for me
in many other apps on my server, and others. However i seem to be getting
odd results from expandpath on just one vhost.
... i've just found the problem, a recent update to my control panel
software (virtualmin) has it adding some apache rewriterule directives in
the config (for admin and webmail) removing these has fixed the issue. As
this was a newly created vhost its the only site it was affecting. I'll
file a bug report with them
sorry to disturb :)
