cfmail attachment error
I have what should be a simple cfmail with an attachment and am getting the following error:
Security: The requested template has been denied access to d:\wwwroot\imailroom.ca\ww
Why is the code below adding "d:\wwwroot\imailroom.ca\w
Security: The requested template has been denied access to d:\wwwroot\imailroom.ca\ww
Why is the code below adding "d:\wwwroot\imailroom.ca\w

<cfset testfile = "D:\wwwroot\imailroom.ca\imail_scans\TestClient\iEnvelopes\imr20110907_e_2B.gif">
this attachment works. test images and decide which should be used for envelopes and which should be used for pdf.

permissions sounds about right as the folder is outside of the web root (for security reasons).
If this is the case what sort of workaround would you suggest?

No, if the problem's what I think it is .. the issue is with whatever internal directories CF uses for mailing, not the directory containing your image. That's what the tests above should tell you. If only the mailing part A) fails that's probably the issue.
I remember there was a long thread about this .. if I could just find it.

ok A failed and just to be sure I put the file in the web root and you're right there too. same issue.
B file not found...double checking code as this should work
getting to C

B still says file not found. maybe it's linked to A as I can see the file.

lol. I did that yesterday. I forgot the old rule of always check the silly stuff first .. because that's often the problem ;-)

funny how despite knowing it's true, developers have to continually fight the almost instinctive urge to make things complicated ;-)

The permissions error sounds very familiar ...
Don't believe the error message 100%. Error messages are notoriously unreliable so it could just be a bunk message.
Try running a few tests. Use hard coded paths temporarily. Just to be sure it's not a path problem.
a) try the cfmail with a hard coded path. If you still get the same error
b) verify the file exists.
<cfif fileExists("D:\wwwroot\ima
c) try and read the file
<cfset x = FileReadBinary("D:\wwwroot
If B and C succeed it's probably a some weird permissions problem with the directories used by CF / cfmail.
