Unless something has changed in recent versions of CF, in addition to cffile's accept arg, after your </cftry> you should always check extension of file saved to disk and, if illegal, immediately delete file. Reason: those mimetypes come from end-user's browser and can be wrong/spoofed/unpredictable (i.e. you won't find a set-in-stone one-to-one relationship between mimtypes and extensions...it changes based on OS, browser, etc).
<cfif not listfindnocase(listOfOkExtensions, listlast(cffile.serverfile, "."))> <cffile action="delete" file="#session.currentDirectory##cffile.serverfile#"> <cfset session.sysmessage = "Please upload images of type: .jpg, .gif or .png"> <cflocation url="folder-view.cfm"> </cfif> Having said that, I concur with Andrew: try "to cfdump and abort in the cfcatch to see what the message contains."
