cfobject component

[romeogq]

My components are located in a level 1 subdirectory named cfcs.
In my root directory I have a test script (test.cfm), and in a level 1 subdirectory named other I have my actual script (actual.cfm).

This <cfobject component="cfcs.logfunctions" name="logs"> works for the root test file, or at least I don't generate an error, but not for my actual file located in the subdirectory. What the problem?

Error on Actual Subdirectory File:
Could not find the ColdFusion Component cfcs.logfunctions. Please check that the given name is correct and that the component exists.

<cfobject component="cfcs.logfunctions" name="logs">

CF looks for components in the current directory and subdirectories of
it. To use components outside of this path, one needs to create mapping
in the cfadministrator. Create a mapping named "CFCS" pointing to your
CFCS directory and all will work fine.
