Includes not found

Hey all. I have two apps(on two different servers), where I'm seeing errors stating that CF can't find a given include. The set-up is CF 8.0 on Windows 2003 with IIS 6 and SQL Server 2005 on both. In both cases I am using a mapping defined in App.cfc: <cfset THIS.mappings["/includes"] = "path\to\includes"> On one app the page looks like this: <cfinclude template="/includes/my-include.cfm"> Some basic CF and HTML <cfinclude template="/includes/my-other-include.cfm"> and the error comes from either of the include lines. 'Could not find the included template /includes/my-include.cfm.' or 'Could not find the included template /includes/my-other-include.cfm.'. I put this down to CF being under load and was willing to put up with it, but now on another app on a much better server with even less intensive code, I'm getting the same error. Has anyone else come across this before? Is it a known issue? Are there any solutions? Thanks. Adrian Lynch http://www.adrianlynch.co.uk/

I ran into a similar issue a while back, and my problem was that the primary template I was calling was not within the same template as the Application.cfc. When Application.cfc runs on a page load it runs within the same directory space as the template originally called, thereby breaking your pathing. I got around this by referencing all of that pathing from the webroot of the site "/somefolder/anotherfolder/etc".

Are you saying my pathing is likely to be wrong? That was my first thought, but the page will error and a refresh will not show the error. If the pathing was wrong wouldn't it error on the same page all the time? I'm not sure where to go from here.
