Please use "Application.cfm" rather than "application.cfm" in the explanation. On Unix, it is case-sensitive, and the name must begin with a capital A.

Worth:
Very worth reading

Comments:
The text should be Application.cfm, not application.cfm... if the A is not caps it won't run as you suggest.

Technical:
Not technical enough

Comments:
... you can also call/create other vars inside of application.cfm (i.e. apps_global.cfm and/or apps_local.cfm) or call a
<CFINCLUDE template="includes/apps_local.cfm"> I would refer to www.fusebox.org as it is a "way to develop/methodology" that uses code again and again and varaiables and queries and display pages can be shared by other templates ... Just my 2 cents

Length:
Just right

Comments:

Also, ensure to capitalize the first letter of this file as so: Application.cfm.

This way it's portable to a Solaris CF server.

Btw, there's also a file called OnRequest.cfm that, if it exists on the same folder tree, it will run after your cf template is processed.

Technically, it's Application.cfm, not application.cfm. Unix colfusion servers will not recognize lowecase app file. Its so easy to write cf that will work on any platform, but you have to start with good habits, like using a capital A in your app file.
