Hi Zac,
Re. the differences between the ACF connector and mod_cfml:
The mod_cfml team has been working to automatically add front-end webserver mappings (Apache aliases / IIS virtual directories) to Lucee, by providing these mappings and their repective paths in a custom http header, x-vdirs.
The upcoming mod_cfml 1.1.08 can also add these mappings to a Tomcat 7+ web context. Unfortunately, Lucee does not check these mappings yet 
See enhancement request https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-694 https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-694 for this issue, which I created yesterday.
Kind regards,
Paul Klinkenberg
@nando looking into the MG framework code, hard coded paths look like an option
@mark I do have mappings in place, but that didn’t help
it’s still quite a frustrating clusterf*ck with lucee compared to ACF which just works,
I’m aware that ACF uses some custom AJP extensions to make this seamless,
has there been any motion to update AJP to standardise them?
Zac,
I have an old MG app, getting the paths set up correctly is always a pain when shifting it to a new server. I really dislike the spaghetti nature of the configuration settings. Trips me up every time.
In index.cfm, I set both ModelGlue_LOCAL_COLDSPRING_PATH to point to the location of ColdSpring.xml, and ModelGlue_CORE_COLDSPRING_PATH to point to the location of ModelGlue/unity/config/Configuration.xml (within which the relative path to ModelGlue.xml is configured).
Hard coded paths work just fine for those MG _PATH variables. No need to depend on ExpandPath(). That said, this code fragment is one I’ve used to back down out of the webroot from index.cfm and into the application directory:
<cfset ModelGlue_LOCAL_COLDSPRING_PATH = expandPath( ‘…/’ ) & ‘appdir/config/ColdSpring.xml’ />
… and this works for me in my Lucee dev environment. I just tested it to make sure.

Set up a mapping. Lucee (unlike Cf) probably has no idea what your Apache paths are.

I have an moduleglue app I’m trying to port over to Lucee from CF8 and I’m having
some problems with ExpandPath and the current 4.5.2 build.
I have an Apache 2.4 virtual server setup which points to the wwwroot directory,
as I don’t want to expose any files which don’t need to be web accessible
It all works fine if I set the apache documentRoot to the app root directory (c:\inetpub\appdir)
and then access the http://localhost/wwwroot/index.cfm http://localhost/wwwroot/index.cfm directory, which is obviously sub optimal
but when I set the document root to c:\inetpub\appdir\wwwroot, it falls over because
the expandPath for the moduleglue file then resolves to
C:\inetpub\appdir\wwwroot\appdir\config\ModelGlue.xml
instead of
C:\inetpub\appdir\config\ModelGlue.xml
any ideas?
