Question

CFChart in CFDocument on CF8

I'm using CF8 enterprise on Windows Server 2008 and CF8 developer on Windows Server 2003.  I've never had problems getting images or cfcharts on my cfdocuments on my development server, but just yesterday got images to work on the production server by using file://ipaddress instead of the regular img src="img.jpg", but I still can't get the cfcharts to show up on the production server.  With jpg and png the red x shows up, when I use flash, a blank box shows up.  Does anyone have any hints?

    Is your production server in a clustered environment? If so, it's possible that requests for the dynamically-generated chart are being sent to another cluster member which doesn't have them - they're only generated on the server that ran the CFCHART tag.

    Does your production server have a properly-configured /CFIDE virtual mapping?

    We are not using clustered environments.

    I'm not sure about our /CFIDE virtual mapping.  I'll ask my SysAdmin when he comes in, but he'll probably want to know more.  Can you expand on this?

    Thanks!
