I recently upgraded from CF8 to CF9 and now my session variables are disappearing where CFLOCATION is utilized. It worked in CFMX 6 to CF 8 but now it doesn't seem to work for CF9. Any help would be much appreciated in terms of what's causing this issue.

    Nevermind that last comment. The issue seems to happen only when I installed the ColdFusion 9.0.1 update. I'm not sure if this is a bug in the CF 9.0.1. Did anyone run into this issue?

    I don't know about this issue, but there has been LOTS AND LOTS of issues reported on these forums about the 9.0.1 update.

    I don't know what percentage of people who install it are having trouble, since the people who don't have trouble don't talk about it.  But the problems I have seen reported have kept me from touching it yet.

    I've run it several times and not had a hitch ;-)

    This proves nothing, obviously, other than the fact that it is actually possible to have it run smoothly.  That said, I'm only talking about my dev environment...

    Given how many people have had problems with this upgrade, I would never recommend doing an inline upgrade to 9.0.1.  I'd set up a second CF9 instance, upgrade that, then migrate the site / application over to it (leaving the original one "live").  Then test eveyrthing. Then switch the 9.0.1 instance to be live.  Then some time later decommission the 9.0 instance.
