Application variables in site-wide error page

Question

We have just started using coldfusion 8 on redhat 5. I have a sitewide error page that uses Application scope variables. I get an error when trying to access the application scope variables. Any suggestions?

FYI,

we currently do not use an Application.cfc but we use the old Application.cfm (with an uppercase "A"). We will be changing that soon.

The offending code is:

This code called independently works just fine but on redhat 5 it doesn't work. Feels like I am missing something fundamental.

TIA,

Steve

Is this code run in the context of the application name you want to tie it to.

This depends on the location(s) of the Application.cfm files and|or <cfappliation...> tags relative to the various pieces of the code in your directory structure. For a piece of CFML code to share an application scope with any other CFML code, it has to run in the same context defined by the application name.

It is not unlikely that the file location of the site wide handler is not underneith the Applicaiton.cfm file that defines the application name. If so it needs to be under the same Application.cfm or one of its own or otherwise run an <cfapplication....> tag that uses the same name string.
