get the path of the web root by programming?

I have a column in a database with an absolute path to a file on our Web server.
What function can I call to return to the root Web where the CF server is actually running?

I tried getContextRoot() but that returns a coldfusion temp directory.

Of course... it's what I couldn't find in the docs. Thank you

  • Access files outside the web root?

    Hello, everyone.

    Hypothetical scenario.

    I wanted to have a file that would set globally accessible variables to contain passwords, and I want to put this file outside the web root, so that users can not access.

    Logical pathnames of course won't work.  And the cfinclude tag doesn't use physical paths.

    I've never done this before.  What are my options?

    Thank you

    ^_^

    Almost all your CFML files should not be in a directory web-driven!  That those people really are looking for should be accessible web.

    Files must not be accessible to be web - ed or be instantiated as objects, or used as a custom tag.

    FOR EXAMPLE:

    C:\webapps\myapp<= this="" dir="" is="" the="" root="" as="" far="" as="" coldfusion="" is="">

    C:\webapps\myapp\wwwroot<= that="" dir="" is="" the="" webroot="" as="" far="" as="" the="" web="" server="">

    C:\webapps\myapp\includes<= files="" you="">

    C:\webapps\myapp\api<=>

    The only things that should be dir wwwroot files people really browse (index.cfm, etc.) and components such as images, JS and CSS files that must be served to the browser.

    Most of your CFM files must be in a subdirectory of C:\webapps\myapp.

    So index.cfm must be traveled, and it must use the data in secretSecureStuff.cfm which is in understand this respectively.  Then index.cfm is just:

    include "/ myapp/includes/secretSecureStuff.cfm";

    If the file to include is not in the structure of subdirectory myapp for some reason, you can create a mapping in CFAdmin or Application.cfc to point to it, for example:

    /External. => C:\stuff\somewhere\else

    And you référenceriez C:\stuff\somewhere\else\outside.cfm via:

    include "/ external / outside.cfm";

  • Setting up a Dreamweaver Site with directories outside the Web root

    I have my web server, the following web site structure:

    \WebSite\ wwwbeta.evansville.edu D:\
    \Extensions\CustomTags\ wwwbeta.evansville.edu D:\
    \Extensions\Components\ wwwbeta.evansville.edu D:\
    \Extensions\Includes\ wwwbeta.evansville.edu D:\

    The web site in the web server root, is mapped to "D:\ wwwbeta.evansville.edu \WebSite\.
    The other three directories of "Extensions" are accessible only by ColdFusion and should stay outside the web root. However, I want to be able to edit these directories in DW, as well.

    In Dreamweaver, I have the local root folder defined on C:\WebSites\ wwwbeta.evansville.edu.
    The HTTP address is on http://wwwbeta.evansville.edu/

    However, these settings just don't jive during the insertion of links. (I don't want to use relative links. We only use absolute links).

    When I insert a link, it will as long as "/ WebSite/Link.cfm. I understand very well why this is happening. However, I am looking for suggestions on how to configure DW, if possible, for me to work with all of these directories, in a unique site of DW definition, generating yet correct absolute links.

    I don't think that this is possible. Please show me the light.

    Thank you!

    It is a relative path, a relative path root site.

    because you chose a folder which is a folder of level higher than we should
    for the record of Site Local to this site, dw made the wrong way.

    There was not anyway you want.
    Set the Site Local folder to
    \WebSite\ wwwbeta.evansville.edu D:\

    and dw will properly the root of the relative site or document relative paths for
    the main site folder

    You will not be able to touch anything in these other folders with dw, because
    they are out of the structure of the site.

    You can define a new site for each of the other files, and then you could
    have dw make correct paths when working on includes, for example.

    As far as I KNOW, you can't do it with a single site def.

  • Dynamically find the web root

    I'm doing one of my truly dynamic applications as long as the reading of the configuration xml file. The configuration file is in my web root (config.cfm), that this file is simply an XML encapsulated in comment tags to prevent anyone to see if they go through it directly. Also, there is another file in the web root called findpath.cfm. Find the path contains ExpandPath("*.*) which I am hoping to use to capture and save a variable with the physical path. The physical path for both of these files is C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\opiax

    Well, here's my question. Let's say I want to dynamically find the path to these files in the C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\opiax\_admin directory in my application.cfm

    How can I do this with ColdFusion MX 6.1?

    I thought about it. Move my configuration file to its own folder and determine where I am.



  • When I try to open a game (Chess Titans, inkball, etc.), I get the following message: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess\Chess.exe the specified path does not exist.

    When I try to open a game (Chess Titans, inkball, etc.), I get the following message: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess\Chess.exe the specified path does not exist.  Check the path and then try again. "Should I do to get my games back so I can play them?  I've tried enabling/disabling of Windows features, but it did nothing.  I also tried to go through the run, but that has not worked.  And, I tried command prompt, but it says that I am not the administrator, who I am.

    Not accessible games

    I haven't had any changes consciously, and the games do not work in any user account.  When I've done sfc/scannow (command prompt) he said that I was not the administrator.  I could learn from another source to solve this problem - in the start menu, right click on the command prompt icon, and then click Run as administrator.  Hope everybody help with this problem.  If you do not have command prompt in your Start menu, any type of command prompt in your search box and it should appear.

    Anyway, my games work now.  Thank you

  • How to access a CFC outside the web root

    I need to access several of the CFCS that are sitting outside the web root, however, I can't seem to find the right way to call the component.  For example... My Flex project is located in a folder under the web root.  My CFC sit in a folder at the same level as the web root.

    To illustrate:

    The web root is c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot

    CFCS are in a folder c:\coldfusion8\com

    A CFC that I need to access is named fxCFC and is located at c:\coldfusion8\com\fxCFC.cfc

    The Flex project is named fxProject and is located at c:\coldfusion\wwwroot\fxProject

    The application is called main.mxml and resides in c:\coldfusion\wwwroot\fxProject\src\main.mxml

    I can't call the CFC using "com.fxCFC" as my compiled application cannot see the component.  I guess that since the CFC to sit above the root.  Is there a way I can access?

    Thank you!

    Man I feel so stupid, I forgot the option in the remoting-config. XML which allows you to turn on the mappings.

    It is the solution, your wwwroot CF proceed to web-inf/flex/services-config.xml, search for and modify

    false
    

    for this

    true
    

    Restart the servers and maps to start working.

    I'm so stupid sometimes.

    How can I get Google to index my site entirely?

    1. Generate a XML sitemap and forwarded to the folder root of your server.
    2. Use your Google Webmaster Tools account to submit the URL of your sitemap to Google.
    3. Wait patiently for 3-4 weeks until fully what Google indexes your website.
    4. Finally, your pages and images, will begin to appear in the SERPs, although probably not at the top.

    Got it... Finally!

    In my Tools.as file I had a static method named Split(Array,delimiter). I added this because I didn't like the stock of String.Split implementation... ie you get nothing if the delimiter is not found in the string, I wanted an array containing a single element in this document, the original string.

    in any case... There was a conflict of names with the Split method in the SDK because as soon as I changed the name of the method of SplitMeUp it worked and I got no longer error when loading of the WSDL.

  • How to get the web client to refresh its point of view of the deployment of openstack

    Hello

    I had a problem with my MariaDBs which caused Violence to fail to start after his stop. The webclient service displays a message that failed "bootstrap" and newspapers showed that the databases where failing to start. I got data bases and went 'vioconfig start' of the converted VIO openstack starting towards the high fine. IM able to connect to the dashboard and perform all tasks as before so, everything seems to work very well. However the webclient service always shows VIO in a State with the "bootstrap" of initial start error and error. How can I get the webclient service to acknowledge that Violence now is working well?

    Hello

    Here are the steps to synchronize the user interface with the backend.

    1 > please use the user interface to start and stop the Openstack and avoid using CLI tool (because the tool doesn't have sync the database)

    2 > if you do not have to use the user interface to start the deployment (generally, it was caused by the inconsistent database), then you can manually recovered databases.

    3 > using the method as Arvind suggested but instead of changing the status of 'RUNNING', please change it to "STOPPED".

    4 > then come to the user interface to use the user interface to start the cluster.

    Hereby you will have everthing sync upward.
