Thanks for your help, Unfortunately, my _basicsecuritytest.cfm seems to be correct. I guess MM have added this to the 1.5.2 updater. Which leaves me in the same situation. I'm actually very surprised that so few people have posted install problems.
My problem is in _securitytest.cfm line #39 where the installer creates a new user, and attempts to authenticate him. This fails. I can't work out why though. I'll try and re-enter the passwords in the CFAdmin, but I guess this may not be necessary, since 1.5.2 doesn't use siteminder any more. Any more ideas, people? Please?

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.
