Just renaming the directory would be too easy, I guess :) hehehe Jeff
-----Original Message----- From: Jeff Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 8:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFFile is pretending to delete Hi all, In my app users get a directory created for them in the root of the site (ex. www.mysite.com/userdir ). This user directory has only one template (index.cfm) that cflocations them to a dynamic page (ex. www.mysite.com/dynamic.cfm?var=1 ) . The admin has the ability to change this user directory if necessary. Easy enough, just delete that directory and make a new one. So I loop through the contents of the user directory deleting all but "." & ".." Successful, it does not break Now that the dir is empty I delete the dir <The_Problem> CFDirectory sometimes breaks with the message of, "cant delete directory, contents not empty". After I looped and deleted all of its contents, successfully no error. Sure enough when I look in the directory the index.cfm is still there. This only seems to happen after I browse to, and view that user's URL (www.mysite.com/userdir) before I delete it. Its as if IIS (Win NT 4/IIS 4 ) sometimes "holds on" to the file and doesnt let it get deleted, although no error is thrown. I assume this cause there is no problem unless IIS has to serve the file first. </TheProblem> If I don't browse to the user's directory then there is no problem. The contents of the directory truly get deleted, and there is no problem deleting the directory. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
