You are moaning about something that is not the hosts fault, it is simply how CF works. You cannot have multiple mappings with the same name. You cannot expect them to delete other customers mappings so that you can use them. If you do expect them to do this, what happens when the next customer comes along who wants to use the same mapping as you, should they just delete yours and give it to the next customers? Because if you think that is ok for them to do it for you, they can also do it for all customers. The solution is very simple, you just use a unique mapping name (using the site name), and do a search and replace in your code.

They deleted ModelGlue mapping but they do not want to delete ColdSpring and Reactor mappings. Because all customer can create their own mappings via control panel and one of them created these before me and these names are "busy" for my usage. I think this must not be a luck issue. There is something wrong with hosting policy. Think that, if I create a mapping via control panel for a directory as "cfc" which is normally a directory in another shared account for their components. But because of my mapping, their directory would not respond as expected. And? What is the solution? I asked this question to support and here is the answer: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..... I understand your frustration and I apologize for the inconveniences. With ColdFusion 8.0, I am told, hopefully coming out soon, they are developing a way to isolate domains in their own sandbox which will allow for each domain to use their own mapping, instead of shared across the entire server. But right now in ColdFusion 7, a unique name must be used for each mapping created to prevent further issues with your site. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience. ..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is the solution now changing my mapping as "mycoldspring" and change all codes to refer this mapping. I think no. What I will do is to move this project into another provider. Or what can you suggest?
