Re: Coldfusion webroot and multiple domain names
The client said that using one IP address, several domain names can be used- multiple sites using host header names. I am not sure what that means It means that you'll probably have to create virtual directories for both sites, as several people have mentioned. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. Thanks for replying. Everything is set up and I am able to access individual sites. The problem is with the images folder. I am not able to get the images to be displayed. Any ideas on this. I gave my directory structure in my initial question. There is another folder at the same level as images and it contains all cfm files. Am able to include cfm files from that folder but not any images.

Re: Coldfusion webroot and multiple domain names
you probably have a mapping set up (in cf admin or in your Application.cfc/cfm) for your above-web-root folder that contains your .cfm files - that is why they can be included. that cf mapping however would not apply to any other files - only to cfm/cfc ones. all other files will be served by your web server directly. you thus need to set up a virtual directory 'images' in each of your sites and point it to that 'images' folder above your of web root.

Re: Coldfusion webroot and multiple domain names
The host header is what is sent to server and contains the domain name being requested. This is then used to determine which website to display. In IIS you simply enter the domain name in the bindings section along with the IP address you want to use for the site. If you have multiple domains for the same site then just add multiple bindings, although this is bad practice and is not SEO friendly, you should redirect any aliases to the primary domain really, including www. more info here http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=how+to+setup+a+site+in+iisie=utf-8oe=utf-8aq=trls=org.mozilla:en-GB:officialclient=firefox-a -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : Business hosting services solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com: ColdFusion developer community www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine ** *skype me* : russmichaels ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341244 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Coldfusion webroot and multiple domain names
Hi All - I am new to this multiple domain thing. Am working on a project, where there multiple domain projects under on webroot. Like www.abc.com, www.def.com under one root. The folder structure is something like below: E: webroot --INCLUDES --IMAGES --image.gif -- www.abc.com --folder1 --index.cfm -- www.def.com So the above two diff domains share two common folders. When I use an include file of form .cfm, I can get it to work. But somehow the images are not displayed. I tried the following syntaxes Suppose I want to access images from index.cfm under www.abc.com/folder1, i tried the following: img src=../../IMAGES/image.gif(does not work) img src=E:/webroot/IMAGES/image.gif) (also does not work.

Re: Coldfusion webroot and multiple domain names
I am new to this multiple domain thing. Am working on a project, where there multiple domain projects under on webroot. Like www.abc.com, www.def.com under one root. The folder structure is something like below: E: webroot --INCLUDES --IMAGES --image.gif -- www.abc.com --folder1 --index.cfm -- www.def.com Well, first, it might be useful to figure out what exactly you mean by webroot here. Generally, it means the folder that actually maps to a web server's HTTP root directory. For example, if you have a single web server that corresponds to a single domain, you might have something like this: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ which maps to http://www.yoursite.com/ In your above example, does the directory e:\webroot\www.abc.com map to http://www.abc.com/? If so, the webroot is e:\webroot\www.abc.com, not e:\webroot. So the above two diff domains share two common folders. When I use an include file of form .cfm, I can get it to work. But somehow the images are not displayed. I tried the following syntaxes Suppose I want to access images from index.cfm under www.abc.com/folder1, i tried the following: img src=../../IMAGES/image.gif(does not work) img src=E:/webroot/IMAGES/image.gif) (also does not work. The image symbol is shown but the entire image is not shown). Assuming that your webroot is e:\webroot\www.abc.com, neither of those will work. The second won't work no matter what your webroot is, because a browser isn't going to be able to resolve a directory path on the server. You'd have to create a virtual directory for each of those virtual web servers (www.abc.com, www.def.com). Then, you'd be able to resolve URLs using the virtual directory as your starting point: img src=/images/image.gif Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training cent ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341161 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
