Do you have "Show friendly HTTP error messages" turned on in your browser settings? If so this could be masking an actual CF error message and the file you are loading up could not be getting updated because of the template caching on the cf server?

It's exhibiting a really strange error. If I FTP upload a file, say "testfile.cfm" (doesn't matter what is in it) it will work fine. If I then re-upload exactly the same file, it's returning a "File not Found" error, and that filename can not be used again even if I delete the file and re-upload it. Problem is that their tech staff can't reproduce it at their end, because I assume they are not using the same FTP credentials as me, they are probably going in as a sysadmin. I have had some seemingly ridiculous responses from support as to why it is not working. While I've deployed a few CF8 sites, my experience is not as much as with CF7, can anyone tell me if any of these reasons make sense? It's an amusing read actually: My first test was a .cfm file with the simple contents "TESTING 123", their response was: "Your Index.cfm file is not written in any form of valid mark up language.The contents of the file contain "TESTING 123" unfortunately this is nothing in this file Cold Fusion can interpret." Um.. ok, so I uploaded a file with a nice HTML structure and a <CFDUMP var="#NOW()#"> in it. Their response: "After extensive testing and checking coldfusion mappings and permissions are setup correctly on the resource and working without issue. We have run various coldfusion test scripts successfully. Please review your coding for further success. As this is a coding issue this is now outside the scope of our support." errr, not much coding there to review. They also uploaded a file that looked like this, for testing: <cfset VARIABLES.greeting="Hello"> <html> <head> <title>Hello World!</title> </head> <body> <cfoutput>#VARIABLES.greeting# World!</cfoutput> </body> </html> I downloaded this file and re-uploaded it. Sure enough the "File Not Found" error came back. I brought this to their attention. Their response: "Not being coders here I am unsure if the reference to #VARIABLES.greeting# is supported in CF8." Huh? It was their freaking test file! Now I'm being told this: "your code does not appear compatible with cf8. Please see the below link to ensure your code can work on cf8. http://blog.joshuaadams.com/index.cfm/2008/9/4/Upgrading-from-ColdFusion-MX- <http://blog.joshuaadams.com/index.cfm/2008/9/4/Upgrading-from-ColdFusion-MX -%0Ato-ColdFusion-8> to-ColdFusion-8" Not much there, it's more about upgrading your server, not changing your code. I asked them to clarify this, their reponse: "Please see the link provided for full details but basically your application at the very least will require an application.cfc file." This is the bit that I am not 100% sure about. Does CF8 HAVE to have an Application.cfc file? In any case I made a simple one and uploaded it twice, and it broke the whole site. Every page started returning a File Not Found for the Application.cfc file. Has anyone found an issue like this before? I'm a bit screwed now, they are refusing to see this as a problem. If I am wrong in any of my assumptions above then I'll happily eat crow, and send a bottle of wine to the techies who' ve been attempting to help me. I just don't see how a file could work, then stop working when being overwritten with exactly the same file. thanks all. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
