Re: cfdocument on cf8 and unix/linux
To everyont that has helped so far, I have used the following code to test my
problem. I can be sure now that it is NOT permissions. See below. mytest.txt
is created successfully, but the cfdocument tag times out after 30 seconds
(the timeout set in cfadmin).
cfset sStuff = This is some stuff.
cffile action=write file=#expandPath('tempfiles/')#mytest.txt
output=#sStuff#
cfset sReportNameAndPath = expandPath('tempfiles/') 'mytest.pdf'
cfdocument format=PDF filename=#sReportNameAndPath#
This my test PDF.
/cfdocument
I'm going to see if we can get a stack trace today, but it's going to be
difficult due to our infrastructure setup. Any other ideas would be helpful.
Oh, by the way, I did find something odd in the exception.log at the same time
as my timeout. Here's the info on that:

Re: cfdocument on cf8 and unix/linux
The problem here is most likely permissions. Check to see that whatever user you're running ColdFusion as has write permissions to the tempfiles/ directory you indicate in your code. Usually your CF server will be running as nobody or apache, but it's specific to how it was installed on your system. Check with the person who installed it if you're unsure. Selecting the user to run as is part of the installation process. Jordan - thanks for your help. Unfortunately, this isn't it, however. We confirmed which user ColdFusion was running under and gave that user write permission to the tempfiles/ directory. That didn't help any. Then, we gave ALL access to EVERYONE (drwxrwxrwx). Do you (or anyone else) have any other ideas why this might be happening? Thanks!

Re: cfdocument on cf8 and unix/linux
Yeah, a stack trace would certainly give you better detail. How about parent directories? If the CF user cannot enter one of the parent directories, then it won't be able to write to a sub-directory no matter what the permissions on the subdirectory are. A good way to test this would be to have CF write to the /tmp directory (a directory that everyone can write to), instead of the directory you're using now. If CF can create the file there, then it's almost certainly a permissions issue. If it cannot, then the problem is somewhere else. Hope this helps!

cfdocument on cf8 and unix/linux
Hi all,
My app just got moved to a Linux/Unix box and as a result, now my cfdocument
has stopped working properly. Basically, I have output that is saved to a
variable with cfsavecontent and then it is displayed to the screen. However,
if the user so chooses, they can have the output sent to a PDF instead. I have
the code below to force the page to load as a PDF instead. Please be aware,
this worked just fine in Windows environment, the only thing changed is that
the app has been moved to unix/linux. What happens now is that the request
just simply times out (on the cfoutput#sReportContent#/cfoutput line). Any
ideas?
Dave

File permissions are one of the common trip-ups of folks who are moving
from a windows environment to a Linux environment. Case-Sensitivity is
another.
Hope this helps.
