I have had the same experience. I have the Enterprise DevNet Edition (multiserver installation) and used "-deploy" intending to send it to a server with CFMX7 Standard installed. But when I tested moving the site I found out the bad news.
Have a look in the compiled code for paths. The compiler is probably hard-coding all the paths (even ones which I had deliberately set as variables) to suit only the location of the Web site where the compiler was run. I posted about this a short while ago but no one was interested enough to reply. I was too busy to follow up. Not sure if it is intended behavior for the compiler or not. I got the impression from promotional that I could compile and then deploy the bytecode to other servers running CF from reading the instructions etc. I would like to see a lot more information about this. I would also like more information about how CF generates and manages class files under different circumstances. I recently had the experience of needing to restart the server to get CF to recognise some changes in source code. I had turned off caching in Administrator and manually deleted the class files and I think restarted services as well but I couldn't get a a variable to change that was stored in an application scope variable. I am not saying that I think this is a bug or anything. It was involved situation, and I would have appreciated some background knowledge of how CFServer was going to behave. It would be nice to know the decision making flow for generating the class files. Somebody on this list recently pointed out that if you have a very large number of class files it is faster for CF Server to generate them on the fly than to search for a cached one. I found that very useful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Giesenhagen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 5:23 AM Subject: CFMX 6.1 reading a compiled CFMX 7 file >I have compiled down a CFM template with cfcompile -deploy and I was told >that CFMX 6.1 servers could see it, but it doesn't seem to be working .. >actually it acts like it doesn't see the file at all! > > Can a compiled CFMX 7 CFM template be read by a 6.1 server? > > > Paul Giesenhagen > QuillDesign > 417-885-1375 > http://www.quilldesign.com > SiteDirector Shopping Cart Software > > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:250360 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
