Thinking about this on a more technical level, does anyone know where CF ultimately derives the week number? When I enter #now()# I assume that's the system time but when I do #week(now())# is that the CF server taking #now()# and deriving the week or does it get that from jrun or linux or does it work things out on its own? What could make a CF 8.0.1 server on one linux machine say that the exact same date/time/timezone is week 41 and every other CF server that I know of say it's week 40?
Why do I feel like an evil little [enter name of favourite nasty] has decided to inhabit one of my servers? The explanation must be so simple that I will call myself an idiot for not thinking about it when I do find out what it is.... > -----Original Message----- > 1. Yes, exact same date and time > 2.
