Afaik the CF server will account for the path delimiter being either / or \ so having \ where unix only supports / as a path delimiter shouldn't cause any problems that I know of. Make sure you're not using any windows scripting host objects called through <cfobject> I don't think <cfregistry> works on *nix. I remember working on an application on Solaris (don't remember what version of CF Server now) wherein I wasn't able to use NumberFormat() because the function simply didn't work -- at all in any way. NumberFormat(1,"0") for instance, would likely produce something like 371.00908 -- just couldn't use it. So test the NumberFormat() function on your server so you know if it works or not. That's all I have -- I'm not a *nix guru by any means. s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ----------------------------------------------- To post, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: Send UNSUBSCRIBE to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe / unsubscribe: http://www.dfwcfug.org
