Did you reset ownership to the newly uploaded original? It might now be owned by the login you used to copy it back.

The problem is that 'cfserver' won't load and so I can't execute the 'get_registry_keys.cfm' as listed in your Macromedia Technote. I just tried it again (manually) and watched the output of a top command. 'cfserver' flashes up (along with RDS) but then just disappears. 'cfexec' is still at the top of the list but nothing is happening: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 2298 coldfusi 18 0 124M 124M 1552 R 0 97.6 24.5 4:02 cfexec I gave it a full 10 mins earlier and it doesn't want to burst into life. How can I force CF to load so that I can clear this registry out once and for all? Many thanks for your help - very much appreciated. Matt.
