Interesting. I tried to turn off security (going into the security settings in CF Administrator, then clicking on 'No authentication needed (not recommended) ', then saved. After that, I clicked on the 'logout' button at the top right, but it won't let me logout - it keeps me logged in and at the same page. I set up the instance of CF8 from scratch. I orginally tried an upgrade from CF MX 6.1, but had problems with my scheduled tasks and IIS. So I un-installed CF8 and CF MX 6.1, rebooted, and then installed CF8. ... View more

I was mistaken in thinking I could get this application replatformed in a six week time period. Looks like it will be moving to a MS Sql Server database (because we have a 'spare' license), but it cannot be started until February '08. So, I have examined all of the code, and found 8 places where cflocation uses a 'clientstorage' parameter. I have gone ahead and changed these all to 'clientstorage='cookie'' (in test) and reset the clientstorage in the client variable area in the CF Administrator. So far, so good, but I really need volume testing to see if this will work. Then to production. Thanks everyone for your help and support. ... View more

I spend a couple of hours on the phone with a representative from Adobe's installation group, and we were unable to get this specific configuration to work.

Ken - Thank you for your response. I have been trying for the last three years to get this application re-platformed to a real database. Our company standard is Oracle, but this application was deemed 'too small' for Oracle (currently 1/3 GB in size). My user base has almost tripled in the last five months, and three outages in the last six weeks is what I need to push this again. In the meantime, I was thinking of separating off the CDATA and CGLOBAL tables into a separate Access DB - changing the code where the clientstorage is called and setting it up in the CF Administrator as the client store in the Data Access section. Does this sound OK for a short term fix? I figure that it will take me 6+ weeks before I can get funding and approval for a new database, and I need to do something to prevent the application from crashing. Thanks again. ... View more
