It’s a official…I’m stupid!

The error "500 unexpected end of part" is caused by not including a backslash on a move operation with CFFILE. <cffile action="MOVE" source="c:\temp\foo.jpg" destination="c:\temp\newdirectory"> Should be: <cffile action="MOVE" source="c:\temp\foo.jpg" destination="c:\temp\newdirectory\"> Written that way makes it seem self-evident. However, the documentation states "If not an absolute path, it is relative to the source directory." implying that: <cffile action="MOVE" source="c:\temp\foo.jpg" destination="newdirectory"> should be [...]

I have two clients that are going into painful delays because of my server issue and another client getting anxious about wanting to know when things will start.

What is Ward170-I386?

In continuing to try to troubleshoot my server problems I look into the Add/Remove programs to confirm that I do NOT have .Net 2.0 installed on a Windows2000 server. I notice a program called Ward170-I386 but can find no information on this program. Do I uninstall it? What if I put it there out of [...]
