Heya Phil, This is a known bug with the JVM.. as if that makes it any better. Here is the fix as I wrote it up for a client:
----------------------- >From Macromedia Technote - 52370: ColdFusion MX can return incorrect time values if Windows 2000 Server is set to the "Australia/Sydney" time zone. This problem is due to Sun bug #4762673. To work around this issue, set the user.timezone JVM argument. Add this to your JVM arguments: -Duser.timezone=Australia/Sydney For more information, see http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4762673.html. To do this: Log into the Cold Fusion administrator: http://[webserveraddress]/CFIDE/administrator/ Click on "Java and JVM" in the left nav. In the box titled "JVM Arguments", scroll to the bottom of the existing text there and enter the string: -Duser.timezone=Australia/Sydney at the very end of the text, with a space before it. Then Click "Submit Changes" at the bottom of the page. You will then need to restart the Cold Fusion service, you can do this through the "Services" control panel on the server machine. -------------------------------- Thursday, March 11, 2004, 9:35:29 AM, you wrote: PE> Hi All, PE> My ISP just updated the production server from CFMX (6.0) to CFMX (6.1), and PE> this has introduced a problem with the Now() function.
