Directory Mapping Problem with Coldfusion 7 on Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6
Hello,
I currently have a coldfusion 7 web app on a Windows XP Pro box and it is working just fine using the built in CF web server. This is my development box. We recently purchased a Windows Server 2003 box with IIS 6 and I would like to copy my application to that box.
Since the app will be used internally I did not create a new website with IIS. I just created a Virtual Directory. The problem I'm having is that the Coldfusion directory mapping isn't working properly. It's a problem with the leading forward slash "/" used by coldfusion to indicate the root directory. I don't belive IIS 6 is recognizing that as the web root. I can serve up .cfm pages just fine but since my style sheets and cf includes use the leading forward slash "/". The stye sheets and includes are not working.
Has anybody come accoss this before? I have done some research on installing CF 7 on IIS 6 but this particular issue has NEVER been addressed. I think it migh be in how I'm setting things up but I'm not sure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The directory structure from the XP box has been copied over to the 2003 box.
There is no problem traversing up the dir with ../ however, there is a problem with /abc/def.

If your style sheets and such are in directories above your CFM scripts, can you using the "../" notation?
Example: <cfinclude template="../../includes/y
