Relative Image Paths in CFDOCUMENT

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

Why can my Dev Box read relative image paths inside a CFDOCUMENT tag, but my Production Box cannot? and how can I get my Production Box to read them?

Example:
This only works on Dev: <img src="/myRelPath/myImage.gif">
This works on both Dev and Production: <img src="file:///D:\myAbsolutePath\myImage.gif">

I need to be able to use the relative syntax on Production because I'm using <CFIMAGE action="writetobrowser"> inside the CFDOCUMENT. This means the final <img> tag is being rendered with a relative path and I have no control over the SRC attribute.

One options I have thought about is to wrap a <cfsavecontent> around the <cfimage> tag, then replace() the relative path with the absolute path.... but since the PDF content is in a dynamic loop, that can end up being a lot of overhead. I would rather just be able to get CFDOCUMENT to recognize relative paths on my production box...

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Ok, one of my guys here figured it out.

We added our domain to the host file on the machine and it fixed it.
