If permissions were denied, an exception should have been thrown. Run the ps command to find the ColdFusion process and see who its owner is: ps -A -F | grep cfmx7 (replece "cfmx7" with whatever the process name is on your server/version)
Also, the startup script that starts ColdFusion (/etc/init.d/coldfusionmx7 on my CF7 server) will have a line in it like so at the top: RUNTIME_USER=""nobody"" and it uses that variable below in an SU command to actually start the service: CFSTART='su -s /bin/sh $RUNTIME_USER -c "export PATH=$PATH:$CF_DIR/runtime/bin; etc ... The value RUNTIME_USER var in the bash script is the user that the CF service is "run as". ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Determining CF8's UNIX Account From: Robert Nurse <[email protected]> Date: Wed, September 02, 2009 12:52 pm To: cf-talk <[email protected]> Hi All, Does anyone know how to determine the UNIX account under which CF8 is running? We're using CFFILE to upload files to the server. The code runs fine on the test server (of course). But, not production. I placed a <cfabort> right after the <cffile action="upload"...> command so I could check the file system to make sure the file was actually being uploaded. But, it's not: cffile.filesaved is NO. This sounds like some kind of permissions problem. I have an idea what the account name is. But, I need to verify it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
