Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / December 2005

Hi everyone,
I am trying to secure non-cfm files by placing them above the wwwroot and
using CFContent, as I have seen suggested in these forums numerous times.  The
problem is that I cannot get it to work.  All I get are blank pages.  No error
message, no file, no nothing.  I tried the attached code (and other variations
on that theme).  The attached code properly lists the files in the folder but
when I try to open them, I get a blank page.  Any help would be much
appreciated as this is driving me crazy.  I'm using CF5, by the way.
Thanks,
Vasco
