Well, thanks for all the responses guys. It didn't occur to me that the hosting company (Crystal Tech) might be running CF under Linux, in which case some of the case sensitivity makes sense. He was telling me that data sources were case sensitive. Does that sound like one of the things you may have forgotten about?

Also, if these case sensitivity uh... cases because it's a linux/*nix deal, then this isn't limited to CF7 (or BD or any other CFML engine that will run on *nix), it's just an OS thing. Actually that makes loads of sense.

Thanks everyone. I just felt stupid talking to this guy on the phone last night, like I didn't know thing one about CF. Just wanted figure out what I might have been missing.

Cheers,
Chris

The following are case sensitive on Linux:

    * Paths to cfcs
      CreateObject("component","my.object") is not the same as
      CreateObject("component," my.Object")
    * Object types
      <cfargument name="foo" type="bar" /> is not the same as
      <cfargument name="foo" type="Bar" />
    * paths to cfincludes
      <cfinclude template="mytemplate.cfm" /> is not the same as
      <cfinclude template="MyTemplate.cfm" />
    * and for the love of God, please use Application.cfc and
      Application.cfm since there is no application.cfm/cfc in Linux.

There are probably a few others that I am forgetting but those are the big ones that seem to always come up in code that I inherit from Windows. As you can see they all deal with files themselves which is where the casing comes in to play.

    I do not know about the Linux part since I did not use CF7 on

    But for Windows it is not case sensitive even in cfscript.
    Try this piece of code in Windows.

    <cfset

    x=9 />

    <cfscript>

    X=

    5;

    </cfscript>

    <cfoutput>

    #x#</cfoutput> Thanks,

        It is only case sensitive if CF is on a Linux box.  It's an OS
        thing.
        Plus <cfscript> is case sensitive no matter what.
