One possibility is that cgi.script_name could contain more than just the file name. Try <cfif CGI.SCRIPT_NAME contains "login.cfm">

I have session.cfm that has 1 if statement in it: <cfif NOT IsDefined('session.whatever')> <cflocation url="login.cfm"> </cfif> I usually include this in my header.cfm or on the pages that I wish to protect. I know that there maybe(are) 'better' ways to do this. But this has worked for me every time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Miessen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 4:44 PM Subject: stupid newbie tricks > I am still trying to figure out the problem I have with my login > scripts. > I wrote this (copied actually) based on a tutorial located at > > http://tutorial8.easycfm.com/ > > The author says these files all go in the same directory.
