I use CrystalTech and based on my experience with them, they only host CF on Windows servers for their shared hosting plans. I think the CrystalTech person you were speaking with must have his CF confused with his .NET.

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.

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.

Try this piece of code in Windows. <cfset x=9 /> <cfscript> X= 5; </cfscript> <cfoutput> #x#</cfoutput> Thanks, Ahmed.
