Same Logical Path for Multiple Instances of ColdFusion

I am running two instances of CF9. Both instances have a Logical Path called SharedCode mapped under Mappings that point to two different directories. However, when I reference the mapping from the second instance, it points to the directory mapped in the first (default) instance.

The mappings are like so: 

Default instance: SharedCode --> D:\Websites\SharedCode
Second instance: SharedCode --> D:\Websites\CF2\SharedCode

My code to reference the mapping as such: SharedCode\cfc\foo.cfm. If I run expandPath('\SharedCode'\) in the second instance, it outputs D:\Websites\SharedCode\

After some investigation, it looks as though ColdFusion does not allow mappings with the same Logical Path in separate instances. Is this true, and is there a solution that doesn't involve making each Logical Path unique?

Can you explain your exact set-up more closely? - Tomalak

Sounds like the code running in your second instance isn't actually connected to the second instance. You can check by dumping the server scope in each instance and see if they reference the same root directory. If they are the same, you'll need to use the Web Server Configuration tool to configure your web sites to use the correct CF instances.
