This is good info, but one thing is still catching me: "any time a server starts. This looks up the web root of the starting server and checks for an .env file." I was using Mod_CFML to host two sites, so I had my

server.json

(with the config) in a folder

www

, and then the two webroots inside. I did this so that I could have one folder each for the

/lib

and

/certs

folders in

www

. So when you say "web root" do you mean the CFM/HTML serving web root, or the location of the

server.json

file (in my case, one folder up)? @bdw429s

I think I keep mine in the same folder as the

server.json

file as a default.

@Peter Hoopes ModCFML contexts are loaded on-demand at some point after the server has started-- possibly hours or days later. The commandbox-dotenv's behavior only happens on the server's initial start, and the only web root it knows about is the default server.

Sounds good. I’ll give it a whirl!

@Peter Hoopes Keep your eye out for CommandBox Multi-server which I'll be announcing and demoing at Into The Box this month!

That sounds like exactly what we need!

Do you have your ITB ticket? 🙂

I wish I could go! Working at a small school means I’m stuck here until school is out. I wish ITB were in the summer!
