I thought the same thing about an exception being thrown. I tried a little experiment. One of the folders the application can write to has 777 access. The one having the problem has 775 access. When I attempted to upload to the former, there was no problem. That tells me that the account under which CF8 runs is not the owner of that folder. Nor is it in the group that has the necessary access. I checked the /etc/init.d folder and didn't see anything for CF8 startup. I'm not very UNIX-savy. So, please bare with me. Is there an XML file under the Jrun4 install that might contain the user account I'm after?
