Oh Joy. Today I had the server admin set cfusion2 to manual start (the instance that works) and reboot the server. When it restarted, the sessions are sticking in the cfusion instance for an IE6 browser on WinXP, but not an IE7 browser on WinXP. Once starting the cfsuon2 instance, the sessions in both instances stick (same browsers as above). So, next we removed the cfusion2 folder comletely and tried again, sticy session for IE6, not for IE7. Jeez.
I thought the problem is with the way that the second instance was created. It was done manually per these instructions. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/multi_instances.html The result of that is that the JVM PAths in the cf administrator for each instance points to jrun4/servers/cfusion. On a Win2K server this seemed to be fine, but on a win2K3 server which as better app isolation, I think this is the problem. I think the way to solve this problem is to go to CF8 <grin> On Jun 5, 3:49 pm, "Chris Champion" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That is quite the mystery.
