getting server name

Does anyone know if CF,r via a .NET object even, I can get the server name (not the domain or IP) to use to differentiate servers in the application.cfm?  The server name is the one thing that won't change if the server get changed.  Thanks! Eric

i think this is available in the CGI scope. Do this: <cfdump var="#cgi#"/> On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 1:43 PM, Eric Roberts < owner@threeravensconsulting.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hah! I just implemented this same thing in our system the other day. This code snippet will return the computer's "name": CreateObject("java", "java.net.InetAddress").getLocalHost().getHostName() andy Does anyone know if CF,r via a .NET object even, I can get the server name (not the domain or IP) to use to differentiate servers in the application.cfm?  The server name is the one thing that won't change if the server get changed.  Thanks!

Eric, You can do this via a java object. Try this code to get the local server host name: <cfset inet = CreateObject("java", "java.net.InetAddress")> <cfset inet = inet.getLocalHost()> -- Peter Amiri Founder | Alurium Hosting 949-338-3862 | peter@alurium.com | http://www.alurium.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/peteramiri | IM bpamiri (AIM/MSN/Y!/GTLK/SKYPE) On Sep 2, 2010, at 10:43 AM, Eric Roberts wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
