I don't think the issue you're having is a timeout issue. The problem with CFMX and CFEXECUTE is that the "timeout" attribute no longer works the way it's supposed to. In CF5 a timeout of 10 seconds meant that if your process didn't return within the allotted timeout an error would be thrown.
In CFMX a timeout of 10 seconds means that you won't return from your process for 10 seconds! In other words, CFMX waits until the timeout value is reached before coming back from the CFEXECUTE. Very annoying. Did you have any luck with ImageMagick and files on the local hard drive? How about files in the same directory that ImageMagick is running in? You are using FULL paths on all filenames right? Are you using UNC paths or regular paths? Write me off list and I'll send you a copy of the code I'm using with ImageMagick. Maybe it will get you going in the right direction. -Novak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Owens, Howard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:21 PM Subject: RE: ImageMagick and CFExecute > OK, I'll bite ... what's the timeout issue? > > After reading your suggestions, it occured to me that I had not tried > running CFExecute against a local file (instead of something off the network > drive), so I did that, and I got this error: > > An exception occurred when invoking an external process. > > Which I'm guessing might be related to this cryptic reference you make to > CFEXECUTE and TIMEOUT. > > I've search the macromedia site and the Web through google and found nothing > helpful ... also looked at the docs for CFMX. > > H. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 11:44 AM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: Re: ImageMagick and CFExecute > > > > Make sure that your CFMX server is set up with the appropriate > > permissions. > > Also, make sure you're aware of the TIMEOUT issue with CFEXECUTE tag in > > CFMX.
