Another option is to take the output of a cfchart and write it to a file that you manage yourself. Use the name attribute of cfchart set to something like myChart, then do a cffile write with the output being myChart. Personally I kind of prefer this approach to the admin caching settings because it isn't one size fits all. I can cache my output for as long or as little as I like and where I would like. Just a thought.

However, what I am experiencing is I have 2 copies of the same application – Dev and Staging, and the Chart works on Dev but not on Staging. The only difference that I can see between the 2 apps is that Staging has an SSL. I have chosen to cache the charts in memory rather than the default of the hard drive. We have plenty of memory and this is a relatively low volume app so it won’t be a problem.

The file you need to edit is I think <cf install path>\lib\webcharts3d.xml and you can increase minTimeout and maxTimeout v alues. Here are some helpful links http://cfchart.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html http://www.cfguru.org/index.cfm/2006/5/31/CFChart-Issues I Hope it helps. Ajas Mohammed.

If you are caching the page, you will see the behavior you describe - since the html cache still holds the reference to a file that no longer exist. I think there is an administrator setting to change how long the graph file lives. One thing that I have done is make a copy of the graphing file somewhere that I control. I then change the cached html to reference that file instead.

A couple things I am try to understand. I have a multi-homed IIS setup and 1 instance of CFMX7 running. When the CFChart is included in a file, it actually calls a file /CFIDE/GraphData.cfm?graphCache=wc50&graphID=Images/100058.SWF but there is no such file as GraphData.cfm in the CFIDE folder, nor is there a file called 100058.SWF in the /CFIDE/Images/ folder. I have 2 sites (DEV and STAGING) on the same server mentioned above. On DEV, the page works like a champ – on STAGING, nothing. Well, on STAGING the page comes up without any errors displayed and the placeholder for the SWF file is there, just no chart. OK, STAGING is under an SSL and DEV is not. I have already updated the WebChart3D.xml file to reflect the HTTPS:// link to the Flash codebase, so that is done. \CFIDE is set as a virtual folder under both IIS entries PLUS is a virtual path in CFMX Admin. Can someone explain to me first how GraphData.cfm is found on DEV and where exactly the SWF files are stored.
