The following table lists the location of the root directory for the application servers:
Location of your ColdFusion application files
In ColdFusion MX, the ColdFusion application files are located under the web root directory; for
example, C:\InetPub\wwwroot. In ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server, your
ColdFusion application files belong under the cf_root directory. Your application server and its
configured web server will correctly handle your individual application files if they are located
under this directory.
