Just a confirmation that Mark is correct... it was named securitycontext="#scName#" and should be named name="#scName#". This was Macromedia bug 49942.

I was searching for documentation on this problem, but can't find it. That being said, I believe this will fix the step 5 error. Compare this code to what exists in allaire/spectra/install/substeps/_basicsecuritytest.cfm. If I remember correctly, the attribute called "name" is called something else in the original file, but "name" is what actually needs to be used. This is from line 71: <cfa_NewInternalAdminSecurity action="addSecurityContext" name="#scName#" description="#scDesc#" Update="no"> So if #scName# is being passed with an attribute that is called something else, try renaming the attribute to "name" as above and see if that fixes it. We also had problems with the login after the upgrade. One thing to try is to re-enter the username and password information on your User Directory datasource in the CF Admin. Good luck! -Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >I am attempting to migrate my Spectra 1.5.1 applciation to 1.5.2, however >cannot get the initial Spectra install >(localhost/allaire/spectra/install/) to complete. > >I am having particular problems with authentication, and getting the >installation to complete.
