Are you still running cf under the system account? If so then this is why, and is also insecure. You need to run cf as a user who has access to the network share. If you are still running an out of the box install then you should also follow the lock down guide. On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 9:15 AM,

you are using 2 EOL products there which are no longer supported or updated, CF7 and SQL 2000 Windows Server 2003 is EOL in about 7 months, so you will not get any updates for that either beyond that date. If you are hosting this off your ADSL, then that presumably means no firewall other than

I would check the response headers for any hints, you may be getting a mismatch with the expected content length. Also, take a look at this setting in IIS and see if disabling it helps: http://screencast.com/t/H03SiWuabri If so, then you may just need to tweak the value. On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at

Ideally you need 1 VPs for each service, web db and mail, plus you would need a smartermail license, unless hostek are a bundle provider in which case you can get a free 250 user license with the VPS. Running a mail server is way more work than people realise though, it is not just keeping it

if upgrading to Java 7 solves the issue, do also note that this also breaks SOLR on CF9, or rather CF can no longer communicate with SOLR, so none of your colelctions will be accessible. I have contacted Adobe about this, but as usual no response, and with CF9 EOL pending I doubt they ever will.
