Question

Does CF understand "/" ?

I have recently installed CF on Mac OSX. I tried to work on projects previously developed on Windows; in these projects paths are defined like this:

<cfset path = '/folder1/folder2/file.cfm'>

It seem to me incredibile, but CF don't recognize "/" as character to define path instead of Window's "\". How can I fix this problem? Is there a way to fix it without edit project's code (like define a rule for CF) ?

Thanks in advance,

R.

    AFAIK, CF does recognize "/" as path delimiter, especially if running in a Mac/*nix platform.

    Perhaps the issue is in the leading "/"?  That means root of the whole hard drive, if I'm not mistaken, not root of the site.  Try removing the leading "/" to see if that fixes the issue.

    HTH,

    Would also guess the leading slash is the issue. CF even accepts slash as path separator in Windows.
