You should really use UNC instead a mapped drive .

>OK got a strange one. I think this will end up being an NT permissions
>problem but thought one of you may have come across it.
>
>I have a web site which sits on 2 seperate web servers. It is
>load balanced
>and state is maintained via client variables stored in SQL server on a 3rd
>machine. All 3 are networked. I have a cfm page on both web servers which
>is attempting to create a file on the 3rd machine using cffile. Both web
>servers have mapped drives to a folder on the 3rd server so when this cfm
>page is requested it writes a file to the same place regardless of
>which web
>server delivered the page (due to load balancing).

>The problem I am having is that when CFServer executes the cffile
>command it
>says that it can't access the file. I have checked all the permissions on
>the NT server and that folder is opened up for full access to everyone. I
>have tried sucessfully to create a file in this folder from a dosbox on one
>of the webservers so the path I'm using is definitely correct. To
>complicate the problem I have changed the code to write to C:\
>(which exists

>server. This
>works fine. However I can't use this as I won't know which C drive it has

>next page
>which looks for this file it will not find it if the page gets delivered
>from the other web server.

>Finally I put a specific IP address in the url that requests the page that
>creates the file and subsequently reads it so I could guarantee that it
>would write and read to the same server (ie bypass load balancing). But
>when I did this the session auomaically expired (which I don't understand).
