Do you have a suggestion on how to move the config file behind the root. <br /><br />Everything I have tried has resulted in error. newaite 0 0 2004-02-01T17:07:15 http://livedocs.adobe.com/wtg/public/machiidevguide/concepts.html#4705 In the index.cfm file, you can set MACHII_CONFIG_PATH to an absolute path if you want<br>instead of using expandPath() but <cffile> requires either a full absoluet pathname or a<br>relative path (relative to ColdFusion's temporary directory) so you can't just use a<br>mapping I'm afraid (without using expandPath()). SeanCorfield 1 1 2003-12-19T10:48:58 http://livedocs.adobe.com/wtg/public/machiidevguide/concepts.html#4702 I was wondering why expandpath() is used at all... Wouldn't the system be able to find the config file if you just gave it the path starting with the mapping instead? <br /><br />I.e. <cffile action="read" source="/environment/{appname}/mach-ii.xml"><br /><br />instead of<br /><br /><cffile action="read" source="#expandPath('/environment/{appname}/mach-ii.xml')#"> ? isaac dealey 0 0 2003-12-19T09:28:36
