Weird ColdFusion 2016 error

I installed CF 2016 last night and will randomly start getting "java.lang.NullPointerException" on every page. Also, I'm getting CF errors on pages when I don't include the "www." in the URL. For instance, if you go to

http://wrestlinginc.com/temp/test2.cfm

You will get an error, details are below. It's the exact same file as if you add the "www.", which comes up fine:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/temp/test2.cfm

Here is the error from the error log:

"Error","ajp-nio-8016-exec-4","03/18/16","14:45:49","www_wrestlinginc_prod","'' The specific sequence of files included or processed is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\test2.cfm'' "

java.lang.NullPointerException

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting close to going back to CF10

The problem is the client CFID value. In CF2016 it a combination of numbers and letters. In previous CF-Versions it seams to be only a numeric value (in CF9 it is only a number like : '10900'). When it is only a number and not a combination of numbers and letters, the server comes up with a nullPointer exception '

When you delete your cookie everything is all right, but this is not a solution for your website/application visitors.

Reset cookie is impossible (no valid session exists)
Set cookie is impossible <cfcookie name="CFID" expires="now"> <cfcookie name="CFToken" expires="now"> no access to cookie possible.

No solution found. I'll contact the support soon.

I have found this to be the case as well. Deleting the cookie clears the error but obviously we can't have every visitor do this. Please post back if you get anywhere with support.

Odd, so when I turn sessionManagement off in Application.cfc, it works fine. Does that make sense? Here is the full error from the exception log:

"Error","ajp-nio-8016-exec-6","03/18/16","14:51:10","prod","'' The specific sequence of files included or processed is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\test2.cfm'' "

Have you tried creating a new test page and check if you see the same errors with sessionManagement enabled. You could also check "Cache web server paths" under CF admin as suggested by Carl.

Could it be an issue with "Cache web server paths"? What is that set to in CF Administrator (under the Caching section)?
