Thanks Charlie - to answer your questions: 1) I'm accessing CF Admin from Apache on port 80. It's not working under Apache port 443.
2) Yep, all my users / other developers on the network report the same problem under IE. I'm the only person with Firefox on the network for bogus security reasons which I won't get into at this time... 3) Right - I wasn't expecting the UUID setting to have any effect, I was just trying to be thorough with trying everything, including printing the CF Settings Summary screen and making sure everything was identical between the two machines. No, I'm not using J2EE sessions. I forgot to mention that the J2EE setting was the first thing I tried and it didn't make a difference. Both instances are also set to have client variables turned on and using the registry to store them. Again, I don't expect that setting to have any impact with session variables. Another note - both machines have 3 URLs on them with identical code. Along with the CF Admin installed to it's own directory, there are 2 other applications. Both apps work great on the other server. Neither work on the server in question. Thanks again for the input, I'll keep banging my head against the wall until I can think of a possible reason for this. > Mike, I've not heard of the problem, but if I were in your shoes I'd be > looking at two things to help narrow down the cause/solution. > > First, have you tried making the request from another IE (on another > machine, I mean), just to rule out something up in your specific IE setup? > > Second, are you accessing the CFR Admin using the built-in web server port > (such as 8500 or 8300, or something like that), or via Apache (port 80)? > That may have an influence, and you may see a difference if you try one > versus the other. > > Finally, are you using "J2EE Sessions" (a setting on the CF Admin "Memory > Variables" page)?
