ColdFusion's cffile is adding the tmp directory to the destination attribute

I'm trying to upload an image to my server and the destination attribute of cffile is adding the tmp directory to the front of my destination path.

I know from another question on here that

The destination has to be a full path, otherwise it gets sent to a directory relative to the temp directory of ColdFusion.

But I am using the full server path. I'm in a Unix environment so its starting with /var/www/mywebsite...

This is true because it even outputs the path

/opt/coldfusion8/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/\var\www\mywebsite\Gallery\

You can see where the tmp folders are and my intended destination.

I am also working on the right line, because when I enter different values for my intended destination, they reflect as such in the error output.

It looks like you are using backslashes in your path attribute. You didn't post any code, so I am guessing, but it looks liek your cffile looks like

<cffile destination="\var\www\mywebsite\Gallery\" ... />

You should always use front slashes, especially on *nix

<cffile destination="/var/www/mywebsite/Gallery/" ... />
