Applciation.cfm for WWWRoot folder only

[itsmekel]

hello.


is it possible for Application.cfm to work in WWWroot folder only. ive tried
putting an application.cfm to my wwwroot folder to limit the directory browsing
of my web server directory by putting a user login. but application.cfm seems
not working or probably im missing something


thanks in advance !!!

It should work, but it is a very good and recommended practice to have at
least one application file for each application. In your case, your coldfusion
server will have to look for the application file in the current directory
first and then up until it reaches the wwwroot folder, and this will increase
the time required to reach the application file.

Is there an index.cfm file also in the WWWRoot? Also make sure that your web
server (such as IIS) has '.cfm' pages as the primary default.
