you would have been free to do it yourself had it been your own server. Thus why I am suggesting you check this rather than just dismiss it because it doesn't affect you, as when on a shared server you have to consider everyone. On Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 12:24 AM, Michael Grant wrote: > &

Are you still running cf under the system account? If so then this is why, and is also insecure. You need to run cf as a user who has access to the network share. If you are still running an out of the box install then you should also follow the lock down guide. On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 9:15 AM,

I would check the response headers for any hints, you may be getting a mismatch with the expected content length. Also, take a look at this setting in IIS and see if disabling it helps: http://screencast.com/t/H03SiWuabri If so, then you may just need to tweak the value. On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 5:

if upgrading to Java 7 solves the issue, do also note that this also breaks SOLR on CF9, or rather CF can no longer communicate with SOLR, so none of your colelctions will be accessible. I have contacted Adobe about this, but as usual no response, and with CF9 EOL pending I doubt they ever will.
