We have a vendor that created an application system which shows many errors in
our application log file regarding the session is undefined. The vendor took
out some code in the application file regarding the session but the error is
still generated.  Does the ThreadID provide any ...

Are there any configuration best practices (official or otherwise) for CF 8
Update 1? Basically, outside of the JVM settings, what should we be doing
that's not done by default? Any settings that are specific to a clustered
environment? I didn't find anything specifically ...

I am using the Coldfusion server developer edition.  My sites are hosted on
shared servers at (Godaddy).  I love using cfincludes and have learned that
anything inside them must use Site Root relative links or they will be broken
when called from files in different folders.

Upgraded my server from MX6.1 to 8 all went smoothly and my apps are running
fine under CF8 however - when I look at my task manager I see two instances of
JRun.exe and two JRunsvc.exe running.
If I go to the control panel (add remove programmes) I only see the cf8

I run CF MX 7 for 2 years on the same PC with Windows XP SP1,
I never have any problems.
And today CF does not work anymore.
The CF services are running correctly, I stop and start,

I've search the forum but have not found a way to get the missing template
handler to work properly on my site. I'm running CFMX 7 on Windows 2003 and
using IIS as my webserver.
I have tried placing my missing template handler 404.cfm in both my IIS root

My cf server keeps hanging and i would like to set up a process  to automatically restart the cold fusion server if it hangs.  Can anyone provide input?

Recently we have switched our ColdFusion server from Allow Anonymous to
Windows Authentication in IIS.
There are 2 domains of users that are able to enter the application using the
browser passed credentials. We are having an unexpected error though when it

My question is: Should I uninstall CFMX6 after a successful CF8 install?
(standard, single server only needing to run CF8).  Did some due diligence and
made sure everything is using the CF8 mappings. Copied over custom tags, etc.
I'm looking for a doc from Adobe to make me feel ...

        I have a W2K3 server running CFMX7 with report server and verity.  
Starting on Friday, the server would display an error of:

Either the Macromedia application server is unreachable or it does not have a

I am currently working on updating from Coldfusion 6.1 to Coldfusion 8. Both
are Standard editions.  From all the documentation I've found is it really not
possible to import/export settings from one to the other?  Can anyone give me
some better information regarding this?

I know many sites/posts suggest working with RDS on localhost but I have gone
to the trouble of setting up a separate "webserver" machine on my local network
which is running CF8 and using CF's built-in webserver.  
However, it is slow to the point of being unusable.  Network ...

I'm setting up a cluster with two instances running on the same machine under
IIS 6. I've followed the official documentation for doing so, and it seems to
be running fine. However, each instance has its own document root, under
c:\jrun4\servers\... etc. However, the IIS site I ...

Apologies if this in another post but could not find anything.
I am looking for strategies to reload app vars across instances in a cluster.
Any suggestions?
thanks,

I have installed CF 8.01 on Server 2008. I installed as a 30 day trial to make
sure the installation and some other configuration issues could be resolved. I
figured I would enter the serial number at a later time.
Well, I cannot find anywhere on the administrator screen where I ...
